In addition to catching up with Brian it was a treat to see Bea Lam and Luke Manley, the owners of Vacuum Tube Logic, and to introduce them to my wife. I have loved my VTL amplifiers for many years now!

Brian was making great music with this system, as he does every year. The Wilson Audio Yvette is a great way to join the Wilson Audio “family.”

If you have never met Brian you should visit Audio Element in Pasadena. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things high-end audio, and he is one of the friendliest and most down-to-earth dealers in the industry.
