Vandersteen and Atma-sphere also take a very similar approach to product development, their products are sorted out and refined from an original good idea that stands the test of time. And for the most part, users can move with the changes by upgrading what they already have - no need to throw out the "old" to keep up with imrpovements. I think this is how a world class product comes to be and what it means to own such a product.

i totally agree t, that is why i do things as i do. but not all agree or see the wisdom. i saw no reason to junk a perfectly good product for a newer one. i think most that "heard" a comparison from early to later product would understand. you cannot make everyone happy that is for sure. and if it is the guy i am thinking of, he was a dealer over 12 to 14 years ago and if he is going by what he heard then, which by the way was liked by most, then he has heard nothing! don't you just love it when fools take sound equipment and music and turn it into a contact sport. to some, their opinion matters and yours does not.

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.

Bobby, does this mean you are going to come out with an entirely new model?

nope, the vsm/tsm mmi, mx-r and master will always be on the price list. why give up on something you have been finessing for 17 years? the exhaustive r+d will be transfered to the sub and 3 way.
when a newer technology comes along that we can incorprate into the vsm and tsm, we will do so. many do this to models that have been in their product lines for decades.
ok?

Did you say SUB!:)
