Excerpted From: CES 2001: What's Hot. By Neil Gader

"Bobby Palkovic's update to the Merlin VSM Loudspeaker, the VSM Millennium ($6,550), was breath-taking in its soundstaging and imaging, but also sported a heft and extension I'd not experienced from his products before. Palkovic credits new, proprietary, ultra-low-loss Hovland inductors, the Merlin Bass Augmentation Module (BAM), a specific wiring harness (for tubes or solid state), and his new "Z" feet for the not-subtle improvements."
