I'm the guy referenced above with 1988 Merlin 3B+ 3-ways. I bought them sight unseen at the recommendation of a dealer. In a phone conversation with Bobby at the time, he recommended the 3B+ over the smaller size speaker I was considering. I remember him telling me "These speakers are good enough that they could last you 15 years". That was 23 years ago.....
Nothing else in my system has lasted anywhere near as long.
I've wandered around RMAF a couple of different seasons to see what attracted my attention and I kept coming back to Bobby's room and the VSMs. If I was in a position to upgrade, they would be my #1 pick. As a former college piano technician and stage manager with fussy ears, Bobby's designs come closest for me to providing pleasing music reproduction.
