Very interesting factory tour. Thanks for sharing.
Has anyone auditioned VividAudio in general and particularly the V1.5 model? What's their reputation? Pedro

Pedro, I'm the very happy owner of Vivid G2Giya's.
(And the center and rears V1w's are ordered!). I discovered Vivid Audio for the first time in What Hifi magazine. Vivid Audio V1.5 review from the experts at whathifi.com In 2010, I visited the Brussels Hifi Show, and although there were ultra high end systems playing, the room that made the best impression on me was the one with Chapter Audio amp-CD and Vivid B1's. I knew then I had to investigate this brand a little further, because it sounded way better than the Burmester speakers I was going to buy. I also met Laurence Dickie there, and I sensed from his explanation that he really understands how a loudspeaker must be designed to sound as natural as possible. And when I heard the Giya's (G1 and G2) a month later, I realised I had to have a good conversation with my bank... I was lost! The G2 is a quite sensitive speaker. It plays a lot louder pro Watt than my B&W XT4's I also have in the house. The detail you hear is amazing, the soundstage is like in no other speaker I know of, and the Vivids make a perfect disappearing act (music totally loose form the cabinets). The sweet spot is half of my living room... My wife and I are thrilled!
