Might seem convenient but you will regret it if you get it.

Maax has never had great insulation and unfortunately when they bought Vita, Vita became the same way.  As a dealer, I try to not sell stereos.  Yes they are convenient, but the value in my opinion is poor and the expected reliability is not great.

Dry tested the South Seas today...decision coming soon...

Full foam is expensive.  Especially if you do it right.  The r-value of that vita/maax insulation is significantly less than a full foam hot tub.  It's also a lot less expensive to do.

Hottubtime:
Wet tested the South Seas....very nice! Jets strong and everywhere I needed. Has anyone tried the Vita Envie or Maax? Is it worth trying them out. And thanks for the opinion on stereos. They sound so nice but everyone seems to believe they break easily.

Sam:
Don't get a built-in stereo. They just do not last and they are overpriced in a hot tub.  Get a Logitech waterproof Boom speaker.  They sound great and are reasonably priced.
