Mr. Albert Von Schweikert, the Founder and previous Chief Design Officer for VSA, began his career in 1976 and designed in our opinion some of if not the finest loudspeakers ever created.

Have any doubt? If so we encourage you to read Robert Harley's very first review (then for Stereophile) of Albert's legendary Vortex Screen. While reading, please note the remarkable similarities Harley observed of this speaker produced in the late 70's with the products coming from Von Schweikert Audio today. Enjoy!

One of the joys of reviewing audio reproduction equipment is discovering a little-known product that provides an extraordinary level of performance and musical satisfaction at an affordable price. These components, sometimes made in a garage, reflect the designer's single-minded zeal for musical acc...

Congratulations to our friends at Critical Mass Systems for receiving the coveted Product of the Year award for their CenterStage2 footers from The Absolute Sound! Effective isolation is critical for any high-end system and the CenterStage2 footers are a elegant solution that delivers huge performance gains. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Here's what the editors of The Absolute Sound had to say...

"Critical Mass Systems CenterStage2 Isolation Feet
$240 apiece (and up)

The first iterations of Joe Lavrencik’s pricey acoustic-isolation feet didn’t overly impress JV (or RH). But these second-generation versions…well, they come very close to living up to the hype that Joe has lavished on them (he thinks they’re the best products he’s designed). Through the ultra-transparent MBL 101 X-treme loudspeakers, the differences they made parked under two pairs of MBL 9008 A monoblock amplifiers (resting on Lavrencik’s superb CMS Olympus stands) quickly became obvious—a wholesale relaxation of the sound, which by comparison seemed slightly bunched-up (like a sock fresh out of the dryer), and a consequent improvement in definition and dynamics (particularly apparent in the lower octaves) that made deep bass lines easier to follow and increased and better controlled slam in the mid-to-upper bass. Yeah, they cost a bit, but once installed they’ve proved indispensable—and Product of the Year-worthy, in JV and RH’s opinion. (reviewed this issue)"
