Merlin Master Bam Alert

My buddy just received his dual mono dual ops bam.The first one sold.He has VSM MXE's.Thought you would like to see his reaction:"There is an uncanny sense of realism.
I was listening in the dark with my eyes closed.
The sense of being in a concert hall was so great that my brain created a seemingly real visual image of where it thought it was.
After the piece ended I just shut the system down. I did not want to take a chance of diminishing the impact of what I had just experienced.
Quite an accomplishment."
I will be receiving my single ended Master Bam shortly and will report my findings in more detail.

Walk every day and you can continue the VSM for another 16 years.

You're right. Forgot it was 2011. How did you discover Merlin? For me, it
was in S.F. at the S'phile show and some guy was fawning over "B" about the TSM. I inquired about the cost(VSM) and he said $4k.

As I stared at the speaker, I thought to myself, "I'm not paying that much for that!". The rest is history.

Man,

You guys are just still babes-in-the-woods concerning the speakers. Too bad you never heard them with the Blue Circle BC-3 pre and BC-6 amp.q

Thuan,

Have Bobby send your check back and resend it and see how long the wait will now be. Patience.

Will a BAM be required for the new speaker? Premium/Studio finish? Z-feet or something better than the Z-F that's easier to assemble? No wooden dowel needed(the monkey on back/squirell in my pants...take your pick)?

Wasn't the 805c reviewed as "chocolately sounding" by one magazine? Before Bobby told me about the Fila, I was leaning towards the Art Audio Jota(high current version)or the monoblocks.
