Speakers Like Merlin VSM?

bombay,
do not be concerned with my behavior...as i am a gentleman as everyone knows. and i am not worried what you think of my product and am truly glad that you like your gmas. i hope you have years of pleasure with them. your comments on the 270 are unfortunate but non the less they are your opinion. guilt trip...hooey! what you expect people to do when you invite them over for a listen has nothing to do with what others may think or expect you to do. one does not make the other right.
thanks,
bobby

Bobbyapalkovic: bombay, if you heard an earlier version of the 270 you might have felt very differently about the amp. they were more relaxed and more music like. later ones were even more continuous but damped sounding. i know the system that you heard and the man who owns it. he invited you as a guest into his home and allowed you to have a listen. is this how you repay him? i also know that he was at your home to hear your system. he told me exactly what he thought of it. he is and was, (by comparison) very pleased with his system. each to his own i guess! but he has not not made any such comments on the web, anywhere. what does that tell you?

I think this post is a good example of why dealers, manufacturers, etc., should participate in such forums only if they are able to deal with honest opinions w/o getting personally offended. It is difficult to exchange opinions and expereinces if people take it personally and respond as such. Just my .02 of course.

Bobbyapalkovic,

why are you & I getting into an offensive??????????
(the offensive is started BY YOU, A MANUFACTURER - REMEMBER THAT!, OK?)

>> and i am not worried what you think of my product
did you read my original post wherein I wrote that I liked the VSM-MM sound?
If not, read it again!!

>> i am a gentleman as everyone knows.
then, these series of posts are VERY MUCH not becoming of your gentlemanly behaviour!
My respect for you has dropped a notch. While you might not care whether it has or not, it certainly does say something about your inate/latent character.

Why in the world are you defending the ZH270 sound???? Vested interest? Personal agenda?

>> your comments on the 270 are unfortunate but non the
>> less they are your opinion.
My comments on the ZH270 are *not* unfortunate! They are as I heard it. If you can't deal w/ it then don't read my posts & don't bother to reply to them.
Audio forums are MEANT to discuss opinions on audio products & to share this info w/ others. That's one of the major reasons for participating in audio forums. Agree?

well written, Aktchi! I fully agree!
If manufacturers begin to get personal about the gear they sell OR gear that others sell, they are going to stifle the audio forums wherein honest opinons will not be shared. That defeats the purpose of the having the audio forum & being subscribed to it!! Do the audio manufacturers want us to blindly buy what they make? Any non-positive comments made are taken personally & they start crying bloody murder!

Tubegroover,

thanks for the feedback & the level-headed post. It is much appreciated. you & I have discussed this in another thread.
Yes, neither do I want a p****g contest & I have no knowledge why Bobby P took the offensive route?

If Bobby P stops posting provking posts, I will agree to not post any further rebuttals in this thread.

The 1st post I made in this thread exactly addressed the question posed by the originator "Avivey", which was "speakers like Merlin VSM?".
It's Bobby P who drove this thread awry.

I really like manufacturer input on audio discussion forums and feel that they should be given exactly the same latitude of expression as regulars are given.
