Von schweikert out of business since Albert's passing?

Yes, can confirm VSA is most certainly not out of business. 

I am currently considering their Endeavor SE model, and called VSA not two weeks ago to get some dealer information. I left a message with one of their engineers who answered the phone and none other than Damon Von Schweikert called me back to answer my silly questions personally. 

He was amazingly generous with his time - spent nearly 20 minutes on the phone with me! It was one of the most pleasant interactions I've had with any company - ever. To have someone like him call me back personally apply absolutely ZERO sales pressure - and even offered to host me at the HQ for an audition... it was just so nice and something I don't see much of these days.

Haven't had a chance to give the speakers a listen yet, but with service like that, I won't be crossing VSA off my list any time soon.

Uhg, I sometimes wish I never sold my Clearfield Continentals, which were one of Albert's early lines when he worked under Counterpoint before starting his own company.

@qwaszxxx great post, thanks for sharing ... did you buy them?

I have had a pair of VR4.5s since new, over 30 years....not long ago I had a ???problem with one of the drivers, and, though difficult to get in contact with, Damon tried to be very helpful.....dont remember how I finally got in contact with him, but they were there last summer

I have left email and phone messages never to be returned. If you are having an issue and the manual tells you to call them for help, call me old but I expect an answer. So we answer the phone for new sales and the hell with the ones we've already sold. so they're facebook trollers. No wonder they don't answer. If there is one good thing to come out of this it is their product far exceeds their support.
