VAC Statement 452iQ Musicbloc Power Amplifier | REVIEW

February 3, 2023 Dave McNair 1

I’ll just say right off the bat that the VAC Statement 452iQ is the finest example of any high-power, vacuum tube power amplifier I’ve had the pleasure to hear. Physically imposing in its vertical-styled form […]

PAF 2022

VSA Ultra 7, VAC, The Audio Company | PAF 2022

August 9, 2022 Marc Phillips Comments Off on VSA Ultra 7, VAC, The Audio Company | PAF 2022

A curious trend is playing itself out in the Von Schweikert Audio/VAC/The Audio Company rooms at various audio shows in 2022. The speakers, it seems, are getting smaller, and the rooms are getting bigger. At […]

HubCon 2022

The Audio Company, VAC, Von Schweikert, Masterbuilt | HUBCON 2022

July 9, 2022 Eric Franklin Shook 3

Editor’s Note: Before we dive into Hubcon 2022 coverage, let’s take care of the elephant in the room—what the hell is Hubcon? Hubcon is a gathering of Part-Time Audiophile writers and editors. During our planning […]

Endeavor E-3 Mk. II from Von Schweikert Audio | REVIEW

July 1, 2022 Graig Neville 3

It took a trip to North Carolina for me to understand the Von Schweikert Audio Endeavor E-3 Mk. II speakers. That might be an odd way to evaluate a speaker that had been in my […]

AXPONA 2022

The Audio Company Presents VSA and VAC | AXPONA 2022

April 29, 2022 Marc Phillips Comments Off on The Audio Company Presents VSA and VAC | AXPONA 2022

Oh gee, another photo of The Audio Company room with Von Schweikert speakers and VAC amps? Phillips must have gone to another high-end audio show. It’s true that I often kick off my show coverage […]

Loudspeakers

Von Schweikert Ultra 55 Loudspeakers | REVIEW

April 22, 2022 Dave McNair 2

I consider part of my job in reviewing an audio component as a search for the truth–while knowing full well there is no absolute objective truth. There is only my subjective truth, in my listening […]

Von Schweikert Audio ESE Loudspeakers | REVIEW

June 12, 2020 Marc Phillips 6

“Are you busy right now?” said the text from Von Schweikert Audio’s Leif Swanson. “Come back to the room when you can. We made a change.” This was back at the 2019 Capital Audiofest where […]

Florida 2020

The Audio Company, Von Schweikert, VAC, Esoteric, MasterBuilt, Kronos | FLAX 2020

February 22, 2020 Marc Phillips 4

If you’ve listened to our Florida Audio Expo wrap-up on The Occasional Podcast, you’ll know that there was once again consensus on the most impressive room at the show–Von Schweikert and VAC, hosted by Atlanta-based […]

THE Show 2019

Von Schweikert Audio, Esoteric, MasterBuilt | T.H.E. Show 2019

June 21, 2019 Marc Phillips 2

You should have heard the rumors flying around T.H.E. Show 2019 about VAC and Von Schweikert Audio. What, they’re not showing together? Did something happen between these two brands? Was there a falling out? Audiophiles […]

Munich 2019

Sunday Highlights | High End 2019

May 14, 2019 Marc Phillips 2

I made it to the end of High End 2019 in one piece. It’s Sunday, the last day of the show, an abbreviated work day that only lasted six hours. There were no major mishaps […]

CAF 2018

CAF 2018: The Audio Company, Von Schweikert, VAC, Esoteric and The Big Why

November 4, 2018 Marc Phillips 1

Each time I’ve visited the Von Schweikert rooms at hi-fi shows over the last few years, Damon Von Schweikert and Leif Swanson have upped the ante in terms of presentation, sound and most importantly, the […]

AXPONA 2018

AXPONA 2018: Von Schweikert Audio joins forces with The Audio Company

April 11, 2018 Rafe Arnott Comments Off on AXPONA 2018: Von Schweikert Audio joins forces with The Audio Company

With AXPONA peeking around the corner, I wanted to touch base with some companies I knew would be heavily invested in bringing their statement, and flagship designs to what’s fast becoming the largest audio show […]
