    VR-4jr Upgrades… Also Known As Mods!

    I'm pretty sure what he was trying to say vs what his fingers typed were not in sync lol. Welcome to Damon's audio shorthand. I usually read his post before he post it to the forums but I have been moving all week and missed this one. Sometimes when writing bullet points we simplify to much...

    An Interview with Von Schweikert Audio's Chief Design Officer Leif Swanson

    I think about the footers I put under $10k in electronics and then installed the Center Stage footers at a retail of $6k for all the components, beat my $30k amplifier and $30k preamp. That was a wise investment IMO.

    An Interview with Von Schweikert Audio's Chief Design Officer Leif Swanson

    That is not exactly what I said lol. But the performance of the new speaker footers is incredible. I will be trying the new 1.0's under our $25k speaker soon. I will let you know our results.

    Center Stage2 LS 1.5 Speaker Footer Experience

    I will try and sit down today and write about my experience with these new footers. I have both the 1.0 and the 1.5's. I'm going to bring the 1.0's to my house and put them under my E-5 speakers:)

    What is "fast" ?

    Forgive me, I was kind of speed reading the thread lol. No......that is our $25K Endeavor Special Edition. Aluminium woofers. But all of our speakers have responses like this. The rise time has many facets to it. Internal damping, crossover topology, and the quality of the components to...

    What is "fast" ?

    Mike you nailed it. Fast for me only has one meaning since I design soeakers. How fast do the drivers start and stop. They say the human ear can start to detect audible differences around 5 ms. I believe this is false but we don't have a way to prove it. The above step response shows a...

    ULTRA 55 Review - Michael Fremer of Stereophile Magazine

    Tony my friend I never doubted you. I was just trying to make it clear that the measurement posted doesn't really tell weather or not a speaker can behave well off axis. There is so much more to it then just that. It really is the sum of both speakers together that is so important. Albert...

    Hello All, First off, we’d like to thank everyone who took an interest in this review, all of us here at VSA deeply appreciate it.

    ULTRA 55 Review - Michael Fremer of Stereophile Magazine

    No this is not true. Measurements don't tell you how a speaker will sound. If you read the review Micheal clearly states that our off axis response is like no other he has owned or reviewed. And many other reviewers have mentioned this in their show reports. And VSA owners all know how well...

    ULTRA 55 Review - Michael Fremer of Stereophile Magazine

    John has always measured speakers this way. We were thrilled to have our very first speaker ever measured by John. As well as a review by Michael Fremer. Unfortunately this is an averaged response. This is a measurement that is not important to me. If you read in the review, Michael states...

    ULTRA 55 Review - Michael Fremer of Stereophile Magazine

    Hi Tony, I will talk about this shortly. I haven't had time to do this yet but I will. And I will be posting other measurements. The short answer is when you take a bunch of measurements from on axis to extreme off axis and average them, the tweeter response should look like that. But I...

    VAC 452 iQ review in Stereophile

    Hopefully the 100+ degree weather for months during summer didn't kill them. But back then I would tour with three of these machines so I could record individual tracks pre eq and then I always recorded main right and left tracks. Sometimes it's fun to bleed those in during a mix down. This...

    VAC 452 iQ review in Stereophile

    I have mixed for them so many times it's not even funny. Probably one of my all time favorites. But they have almost always been different from venue to venue. Sometimes just two acoustic guitars and sometime the full band including Jon Gagan. But I have seen a lot of different musicians...

    Open Letter to Joel Davis Re: Axpona 2020

    Since they are offering to roll 50% over to 2021 I don't think we should have to pay the remaining balance till a week prior to the show.
