Merlin VSM & TSM speakers: RIP Bobby Palkovich, Ten Years Ago Today
I remembering his first speakers, cloth wrapped tall towers made from a MDF like material that was supposed to be made from corn husks as I recall. Boy did his design ideas change!   
Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear?
I agree with @knotscott  concerning the variables, and not to diminish your system in any way (it seems to be very nice), but at your level it seems that triamping would be a little over the top, and more trouble than it's worth.

I just hop that he stays far,far away from Danny's you tube program. He has nothing to add to that and I'm pretty sure that Danny's smart enough to know that.

Labs? What, he's a scientist now?

Hi @ozzy62  No, I haven't heard of him, but I'll look him up. Thanks!

Thanks @ozzy62 . I know there will be upgrades ahead. I already damped the horns.

@trecool99  That's a good question... After I sold the 888's, I decided to put my Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference floorstanders up for sale. I thought that they were very fine speakers in almost every way, except that the midbass was a little wee...

@onhwy61  It was a bit hard and humbling to write the update because it showed that my first impressions were very premature. I should know by now that , for myself at least, it actually takes months to get the measure of a speakers. My update ma...

I don't like hin. He may have opinions, but he doesn't know 100th  of what Danny knows. I hope that they don't become entangled in any way, because I like watching Danny's videos.

He must be pretty old now. He might have decided to pack it in. If he did he should have announced it on his website though.

@kofibaffour  No problem. I expected as much.  
MoFi Sourcepoint 888 Speakers
I wanted to give an update since I was the OP, for what it might be worth, and because I was watching a Danny Ritchie YouTube video about the Sourcepoint 10’s today, and it confirmed what I had heard. I had only owned the 888’s for a couple of we... 
Triangle Magellan Duetto 40th Anniversary
@freediver  No. I couldn't come to a price that was acceptable with the dealer. They were a demo pair, and he only wanted to give me a 1k discount. Knowing the mark-up on speakers, I thought that he should have taken of another 1k and he still wo... 
Anyone heard from Charles1dad ?
I actually understand if that's the way that Charles feels. Without really making a conscious decision, I've noticed that in the last few months I'm posting here much less frequently even though I'm retired now. When I realized and thought about i... 
Anyone heard from Charles1dad ?
While we're speaking of valued members who haven't been heard from for a while, I have also been concerned about @jjss49. He is a very knowledgeable man as well as a kind and generous human. I once asked his advice on a particular tube, and he gav...
