For Bea and Luke, music is an integral part of their lives, whether it's attending live performances of the San Francisco Opera, the San Francisco Symphony, a night out at Yoshi's, music night at home with friends and Bea's Steinway grand piano, or at home listening to their favorite recordings. They believe that the joy and beauty expressed through music is the most direct way to substantially better the lives of people in this world in the wholesome pursuit of spiritual relaxation. Through VTL, they are fulfilling their mission in life of making the best home stereo equipment that brings the excitement and emotion of music as close to the live experience as possible.
