Was fortunate during a brief time-out to visit VSA for the very first time! I've known Albert as a friend and dealer for nearly 20 years and decided to visit him, on his turf.
Imagine dropping into the Porsche mfg facility in Germany and spending time discussing the details of all things Porsche with the chief designer, engineer, assembling and quality control expert. Such was the privilege I enjoyed during my brief visit at VSA. This is Santa's workshop, where the magic begins! Caps for some models as big as coke cans, platter sized crossover boards, drivers of all sizes, internal bracing, wiring and stuffing materials. It truly was an "open house" visit and I can't imagine getting a tour like this from any other mfg, on such a personal level. The quality of the parts used in comparison to the competitive brands at every price point is over the top. If you wonder why speakers sound so different,,, look inside to find the reason. Beautifully constructed cabinets do not equate to superior sound! Neither does marketing propaganda!
Every speaker model gets full attention during the build process and is released for shipping once it clears the final instrument test! And that would be Albert's ears!
I cant describe completely how wonderful my visit was, with Albert, Devon and Paul. What a great team assembled.
