BugPowderDust Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I don’t see the point of making speakers so custom like these, then letting people power them as passives. They really should be a top to bottom active design so there’s no room for underperformance from selecting the wrong bits to go with it. It’s not like spending the ridiculous asking money on them doesn’t warrant it already. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"it's like powering an airplane with a series of mechanical linkages to propellers on the wings via a great big engine at the back. Oh, and the aircraft manufacturer has no control over the engine, each airline can supply their own". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

075Congo Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Emailed offshore bank in Panama re fund acquisition for making a deposit on the MOYA's. Waiting for info from Vivid Audio re production timelines/ freight etc. Thinking it will take at least 3 months from time of order so support volunteers should factor in a July timeline. Flack has already started as my wife is keen on various metallic reds.......I am an opalescent cream type person. Looking at my current cables.......undecided re a Scandinavian product......very large diameter and is probably related to welding cable. Still worried re need to reinforce the suspended floor in our music area. So many details to confront.....but it is exciting. Mick 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, was a long time ago . The G 1 would be a nice acquisition Mark He used multiple pair's of Jeff Rowlands but they were the Class D switching amps in that lineup. Sounded very nice (particularly on large orchestral) but it was years ago that I was there. They were beautiful looking speakers and were set up in a pretty large room with minimal furnishings. Back to the new TOTL Vivid's in question. I hope the finished crossover has better quality parts than the ones in the Soundstage video. I'm all for the designers vision and whole design but at the price point the crossover parts are truly awful. Entry level polypropylene caps, entry level resistors and very pedestrian inductors. I'd be pretty bummed if it turned out they were in my 800k speaker (or even 20k speaker for that matter). Laurence Dickie is one of the Titans and pioneers of our hobby however so I'm hoping they are only in the prototype.

Antipodean Brad Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 I figured out what it is that makes this speaker so ugly. It is not so much the curviture of the bass sections, but the top quarter, especially with that blank panel. I played around with a downloaded photo, and deleted the top quarter. They looked much more balanced, even if they kind of looked squat and chunky. If I can get Mr Dickie to delete the top section I might consider buying a pair - in white, not red. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
