Curious follow-up commentary

I found your commentary on the Merlin VSM-Master speakers both interesting and a bit puzzling.
First of all, I want to say up front that I am an extremely pleased owner of the Merlin Master TSMs which I have had for about a month. Review to follow. Previously I owned a Merlin VSM-MX which I had in a dedicated listening room until we downsized to a smaller home. I guess you could call me a Merlin fanboy but a title acquired through much experience listening and owning a wide range of equipment in different settings.

I have also rhetorically wondered what will Merlin offer in the next TSM generation? How can they improve on a speaker system that already does nearly everything so right. I guess only time will tell. However, what I found most puzzling to this critique is the fact that nearly all great audio product evolve over time and not just for marketing purposes. That is simply the nature of this industry as well as others such as the computer and automobiles.

The whole art/science of this industry can be best characterized as a never ending state of evolution. The "absolute sound" will always be our primary goal but will remain just out of reach. It is designers like Bobby P. who have made this quest their life's work that allow us to keep inching closer.

In a highly technological arena such as high-end audio, there is no such thing as getting it right the first time.
