Hello Everyone

My name is Graeme and I work for Vivid Audio at the factory in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. I am the leader of the engineering team here and report directly to Laurence Dickie, my mentor, my boss and my friend.

I've been following the threads that concerning Vivid Audio with interest over the past year or two but never thought it too appropriate to get involved directly. It has been interesting, at times all the positive energy is fantastic and then at other times it's less positive, but hey, to each their own, absolutely! One thing I don't like is hearing that a Vivideer has had to endure a two month wait for a spare driver. Of course, hearing the odd negative comment can only help us to improve and so I'd like to ask @Lee 3 to drop me a mail at production@vividspeakers.com, if it's not too much trouble.

Thank you again to everyone for all the great support. You are all doing great things for us by spreading the word that our speakers really are something special.

Graeme.

Dude

These are beautiful and partially because they fit your room so well. Hope you are enjoying them.

Bart, you are too funny !
From the reviews and the comments of the owners, I have no trouble in believing that your speakers are exceptionnal. Like any other, they must be heard in a perfect set up.
They look more and more like modern sculptures to me.
Could you post a pic of yours ?

Jérôme, there are some in my original thread, but I see that a lot of them disappeared, because of the server stopped to exist.

I'll put a couple here:

Bart, thanks !

They look stunning. I love the look of the surrounds.
Can we see a pic of the G2 set up in the room without the set up guys ?
