and not associated equipment?I believe in taking a system approach. Sometimes other issues can steer one away from the real problem.
That being said, and to answer your question, you may be looking for an agressive speaker, - which is what I'm hearing when you describe what's going on. Although I think that the Merlins play rock well, and plenty loud, depending on one's room configs, and associated gear, perhaps you may want to take a look at Tyler and follow DKL's brilliant suggestion.
I've heard most of those Tyler PD series and IMO, those are really nice, agressive, rock, speakers. They are a touch rolled off in the mids and are very fast, with the ability, - (along with the RIGHT amp, like an old KRELL), - to deliver speedy, driving, full, bass that will rock your planet and kick some major behind!! Maybe you can get Jennifer Lopez to come over? In short, a much hated speaker for folks on these forums. You also may want to look at the B&W Nautilus series, most in that line, - (excluding the Signature line), are also a bit rolled off in the mids, and quite agressive.
All that being said, I do also recommend that you look at a possible upgrade to your VSM-M as the new line delivers more, and more real bass. Before you make a move, a call to Bobby at Merlin would be wise. Just to make sure that you cover all of your bases: and, an upgrade to the new line of VSM will provide you with more, and more realistic bass. (Not intended to plug, just to present some more options).
