In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music


I just read this terrible news about the death of Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music Systems. He was a great guy and this is very, very sad. Rest in peace, Bobby.

Bobby was an amazing guy when he was feeling well. He had been a huge help in perfecting my system throughout the last year. It's too bad his health had to effect his business and his mind the way it did. He will be missed, and all his helpful information to enjoying his speakers will be forever saved away. Unfortunately now I am completely stuck for that Bobby had a huge amount of my money wrapped up in him helping me acquire Cardas cable for my entire system. I have paid him close to $6K starting in February, and I have absolutely nothing to show for it. I know he meant well, and obviously he wasn't in the right mind and health to follow through with this. If anyone has any contact to Bill at Merlin or ect., please PM me. I've been upset with this entire situation for the last 3 months. And I don't know what to do now. Not trying to be insensitive cause I love Bobby. What an awesome guy!!! But just want to be taken care of as he promised he would have as of last week.
Swampwalker, there is no reason to draw attention to the posts and call me out. I had the nicest of things to say about Bobby. And I still have nothing but positive feelings for Bobby and Merlin Music Systems. I have been a Merlin owner since I was 19 years old, and I have never owned any other "audiophile" speaker. I am loyal to my VSMs and I don't want to own any different speaker. I was only making a quick statement in hopes of someone connected to Merlin to reach out to me and let me know that my situation is acknowledged and will be taken care of in due time. I already had been left in the dark for the last 2.5 months and I was already worried about Bobby and his health during that time. I am heartbroken and saddened by his passing. He will be very much missed throughout the audio community. I never spoken to anyone with more passion or concern for the satisfaction of owners of his speakers.
