In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music

Always a great resource for me, Bobby's VSM's were the center of our lives and living room for 15 years. He was helpful with upgrades, and suggestions, and his products were a great value and received nothing but compliments at our house. Suicide is a shame and a mystery, but death rarely comes as a surprise. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. RIP.

Sad news.
RIP BOBBY P.

However, I am inclusive with several others to the tune of over 10K vested and now apparently lost. I would venture to say those critical of our observations have no skin in the game.

Wrong you are, Celtic66. I've got a pair of VSM MMEs that need a pair of tweeters (my bad, I dented one). However, a sense of decency and sensitivity for his family, friends, and business partner requires that you keep economic concerns to yourself for at least a little while longer.

This is very sad news. I'm still enjoying my TSM-M's that I purchased used over 10 years ago. When I first received them, I contact Merlin, and Bobby was quick to respond and offer advice. He was very helpful (despite the fact that I didn't buy directly from him) and really made an impression on me. He will be missed.

Swampwalker, If you are unable to source the Esotar tweeter from Merlin, I believe it is still available from Dynaudio distributors on an exchange basis.
