Merlin Master Bam Alert

My buddy just received his dual mono dual ops bam.The first one sold.He has VSM MXE's.Thought you would like to see his reaction:"There is an uncanny sense of realism.
I was listening in the dark with my eyes closed.
The sense of being in a concert hall was so great that my brain created a seemingly real visual image of where it thought it was.
After the piece ended I just shut the system down. I did not want to take a chance of diminishing the impact of what I had just experienced.
Quite an accomplishment."
I will be receiving my single ended Master Bam shortly and will report my findings in more detail.

glory, we are near the end of development of the vsm project. after sixteen years and six new versions of it i have gone through the whole thing numerous times. nothing newly developed is ever a long way down the refinement path. and because i have elected to finish my work and not proliferate designs, i think you heard the benefit to that end. plus the cost of merlin upgrades are very inexpensive for what you get in the end. imho, the master bam and master rc's are a perfect example of this.
best regards, bobby at merlin

Nothing like a well sorted product with incremental refinement over the long run - think 3ASigs, VSMs, M60s, HL5s SL1s - you know the type of product I'm talking about. No major changes, but constant improvements over the original (good) idea. I do understand the frustration you might feel with the "upgrade" path, but for the most part you can follow it, rather than be thrown the brick wall of a completely different model replacing an older one. In the case of the Master Bam evolution, nothing could have been easier to make my VSMs "better".

57,

You are right to say that the upgrade path is better than a whole new design.
