POSITIVE FEEDBACK ONLINE - ISSUE 17

2005 CES Part 2

Bobby Palkovich in the Merlin room powered by the new CAT amplifier. Always sounding good and always good people. Hey Rich!

CES 2005 Show Report
by Roger S. Gordon, CPA

Merlin As usually, the Merlin room had excellent sound, with their VSM speakers and CAT electronics. Each year, chief designer Bobby Palkovic makes small changes to the speakers that keep edging the sound a little closer to the real thing. Gone is the cool, analytical sound of five years ago. The VSMs are now very natural sounding. Way to go, Bobby. Whenever I needed to retune my ears to good audio, I popped back into the Merlin room for a music fix.

CES/T.H.E. SHOW 2005: A Photo Essay
by David W. Robinson

The next room that I stopped at was one that, like tmh audio, I visited more than once: Bobby Palkovic's Merlin Music/Cardas Audio/CAT space. As always, Bobby makes superior music; year after year, his speakers, usually paired with Cardas cables, get better and better. And dig that CAT amp… very luscious when paired with the Merlins!

As a matter of fact, the CAT was so attractive that I couldn't resist doing a fresco… tasty, tasty!

Here's Bobby in the flesh, with this year's edition of his reference design. No CES is complete without Robinson's annual "portrait of Bobby and his masterpiece"…
