Ryriken,
I have long admired Merlin speakers, but they've always been a bit out of my price range, 'though I'd love to have a pair. You mentioned on another thread that you once owned VAC amps. I bought mine on A'gon for the sum of $1200. I wasn't very impressed with it until I swapped out all the tubes. NOS Telefunken 12AU7's and 12AT7's, along with Mullard reissue EL34's, branded Groove Tube. Now, it's my favoite amp of the three I have now.
I've read very good things about Odyessy Khartago amps, and with that VTL preamp, and those Merlin's, your system must sound incredible.
Congratulations, and enjoy!
Dan
