A little over a year ago we were pleasantly surprised when
the folks who produce the NBC TV show Chuck asked us to supply ZVOX
surround sound systems for use as props. Since then we've set our DVRs to
record every episode, so we can slo-mo the scenes where you can see our stuff. We
particularly like the episode where a "Buy More" clerk, fantasizing
about the cute new "Nerd Herd" employee, starts making out with a
ZVOX carton.
When we started ZVOX in 2003, it was a challenge to get
retailers -- real or fictional -- to take us seriously. They were so committed
to the formula of "five speakers + subwoofer + receiver = big sale + happy
customer" that they couldn't think "inside the box." Now when we
approach retailers they seem to treat us like visionaries because we were
pushing simple home theater before it was cool. And simple home theater is
cool. Our new 575 IncrediBase system challenges the performance of a good
five-speaker surround sound system -- but without all the boxes and wires.
We firmly believe that in a few more years, traditional 5.1
surround sound systems will be considered exotic -- something only hard core
home theater buffs would buy. Sort of in the same category as vacuum tube amplifiers
and expensive turntables for audiophiles.
The future of home theater sound...is simple.
