Hi guys,
          A couple months ago VSA was approached by a television show called Party Down, and they asked if they can use one of our speakers in one of their episodes, and of course we couldn't turn that offer down. We were told that one of the writers of the show specifically requested our speakers and specifically wrote Von Schweikert into the scene that takes place at a rich investors home(he's obviously a fan  :D). The show itself is an adult comedy about a bunch of catering workers that cater parties to the rich and famous in Hollywood. In the scene that our speakers are featured in, one of the characters is talking to the investor's son about the Von Schweikerts, and how his dad would have purchased a pair for him if he had made the deans list. The scene is short, but funny. The show airs on a network called Starz, not sure if any of you guys out there have that network, or even heard of it, but here's a youtube link to the scene, enjoy!

Hey Josip,

That was recorded on a cell phone??  The sound seems almost too good for a phone recording.  Your buddy should have shot this earlier in the evening before significant alcohol consumption.  He was all over the place :lol:  Great shots of the MAC meter "nightlights" but a shame we couldn't see the VR4 SRs.  Nevertheless, good job :thumb:

i tried watching the mac turntable video, but i think it sent me to a link for the blair witch project :lol:.  i saw something blue, but mainly just a bunch of bouncing around. perhaps your friend shouldn't dance and record video at the same time.

A PhD is a Doctorate degree, what I need is a DOCTOR!  :thumb:

Hi
Its sadly that the shot is blurry and the speakers cant be seen properly. I would turn on the light if I knew he was taken the shot, wasn't aware of it at this time, I thought he was taken pictures. :lol:

But nevertheless the sound is great. :thumb:

Next time I will do it little earlier before my friend starts to consume alcohol and still is sober. :)

Thanks for watching.

Ok, it took me a while to watch that Party Down link --- too funny really. Only problem is my 7 year old watched it with me and now delights in telling people his dad owns Von Schweikerts and they 'kick ass'.....
