  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.

It's funny, I dumped my VPI turntable for the very reason that I felt it was designed obsolescence. After all, platters were acrylic then combination of metal and acrylic, then all metal. There were other things that bugged me about that approach, not just the platters.

At the start I liked it, (options to upgrade at a reduced cost), but eventually it felt like, (and I know it's a personal thing so please don't turn this into a VPI thread as it's just my own personal opinion), it was going in a big loop and designed to just keep you moving through products and spending money.

I've not felt that way with the Merlin speakers. I get what that dealer is implying but I just don't see it here. The improvements are real, and I don't think that it would have been reasonable to expect them all at once. If that were the case nothing would ever be released as we'd all be waiting for it to be "done" before it was available.

Just my two cents.

PS: Now when will the damned sub be ready! :-)
