In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music

Sad news.
RIP BOBBY P.

However, I am inclusive with several others to the tune of over 10K vested and now apparently lost. I would venture to say those critical of our observations have no skin in the game.

Wrong you are, Celtic66. I've got a pair of VSM MMEs that need a pair of tweeters (my bad, I dented one). However, a sense of decency and sensitivity for his family, friends, and business partner requires that you keep economic concerns to yourself for at least a little while longer.

This is very sad news. I'm still enjoying my TSM-M's that I purchased used over 10 years ago. When I first received them, I contact Merlin, and Bobby was quick to respond and offer advice. He was very helpful (despite the fact that I didn't buy directly from him) and really made an impression on me. He will be missed.

Swampwalker, If you are unable to source the Esotar tweeter from Merlin, I believe it is still available from Dynaudio distributors on an exchange basis.

Swampwalker,

I can supply you with a set of replacement tweeters, although a dent in one of them should not affect the performance if you can get it "un dented" theres several ways of doing this, its been discussed several times on this site.

Best of Luck

Peter
