Greetings Tmiddle,
i have 11" between shelves and that`s no problem as my rack is open. I guess 9" will make it a lot hotter but if it`s open all around there shouldn`t be a problem.
The sound has gradually changed since my last post. I think its the new cables that is finally setteling in. They really took a long time to start sounding their best, 3 months with regular play every day. It`s really wonderful now. I had a musician over last weekend and he said he really didn`t think a stereo system could compete with the real thing, but he changed his mind :)
The Filarmonia is beautiful and the perfect match with the Merlins.

System edited: Update: 24.07.06. Changed the speaker cable from Cardas Neutral to Golden Refs and could not have predicted how much better they are in my system. More natural, fuller and complete. Cannot live without them ;)

Thanks! The speaker stands are Empire RC-24 filled with sand. They match the Merlins quite well i think. http://www.empire.com.my/empiress.html
