In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music

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.

Swampwalker,

I can supply you with a set of replacement tweeters, although a dent in one of them should not affect the performance if you can get it "un dented" theres several ways of doing this, its been discussed several times on this site.

Best of Luck

Peter

Thank you, Peter. I've tried all of the methods and was able to pull out the dent w a vacuum cleaner. U unfortunately, there is a little "crease" at the point where the fabric dome meets the ??surround??. Maybe 1/8" - 3/16" long. I'll get in touch w you off-line.

I received two emails from somebody at Merlin yesterday about an order I have pending. I was told the company is in "lock down" and until they can work throught the legalities of control of the company no orders are being processed. They did not address my payment in the response and I didn't push the issue figuring nothing can be done until this works its way throught the legal system and the estate gets settled.
