for the VSM-MX

I've had my VSM/M speakers and bat BAM since May of 2001. They were great.
I posted a question on audiogon, "What new amps should go with my Merlins?" Most of the replys suggested I get them upgraded to the new VSM/X. Bobby had me upgrade the BAM first just to hear the improvement. It was significant.
Since we were going to be in the New York area I delivered them so I could visit with Bobby and see his operation. I spent a very informative afternoon with Bill, Debbie and Bobby.
Finnally back home in September and the speakers are back in the system. Well not being a pro at this you will have to believe that everything I have read is true. They are fantastic and any other superlitives you can say about them. If you have these speakers, get them upgraded, it is worth the effort and cost. You will not regret it.

Product Weakness: None that I know of.
Product Strengths: Bobby and the staff are always ready to help.
