A tragic loss, but Bobby's legacy lives on, in my listening room and many others' as well. I too wish Bobby could hear how good my VSMs are sounding these days with my recent switch to a Shindo Monbrison preamp and Sophia Electric 845 monoblocks. Bobby upgraded my VSMs to the Black Magic edition just a few months before he died, and all the time I spent on the phone and over email with him (man could he talk!) makes my speakers even more special to me.
And they sound great!
