In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music

For all Merlin owners, fans...

I have just started a group on Facebook for folks who own or have enjoyed in the past Merlin speakers. The URL is https://www.facebook.com/groups/1712629472383990/ or just search for Merlin Music Systems Speakers Owners/Fans group. Hopefully I set it up right so that people can click or message me their request to join the group.  I will be postings pics and various info  and it can also be a place for VSM and TSM honors to share their merlin systems or questions.

Horrible news.  Bobby and I go way back.  I have had many of his speakers over the years.  He always referred to me as the Krell Cowboy because of my knack for blowing speakers.  May he rest in peace.

I spoke to Bobby many times. I don't think there is anything inappropriate about being concerned about a lot of money. My 21 year old son lost his life on that same day. Not by his own hand but by freak accident. Bobby made a choice to take his own life. Many people don't get that luxary. These people have every right to be upset about losing their money. The speakers were grossly over priced anyway. I always told him that.

@leemark, I think you and Jafant ought to get together!  You have no idea what was going on with Bobby when he took his own life do you?  Also, at the same time, I’m not sure someone about to take their own life feels like it’s a “luxury “.  Ignorance knows no bounds does it?  Idiocy even more so.

His “speakers were grossly overpriced “...Compared to what?  Your Bose?

Just my opinion leemark, but in light of this very tragic event, your comments are grossly inappropriate. 

It must suck to be you.
