Default Awesome Vivid Audio Video

If you haven't seen this interview with Dickie, I recommend you watch it immediately.

BillK thanks for posting very good video. They seem to have some very good ideas and a different approach to the cabinet design and weight. I have not heard these speakers has anyone else

Bill, thanks for posting.
Auditioning the Giyas was a unique experience for us. Laurence explained the design in great detail before we listened to the G2s & G3s.
If a video makes you want a pair of Vivids, imagine what it's like having the enthusiastic designer himself doing the demonstration .
The only question that we had to address after the demo was "what colour do we want?"

Bart, I heard some Youtube videos of Vivid's and I really love the sound. In real it must be unreal sound I think. Wow. You are genius in selecting them.

Ha David, no genius at all!
I just heard what I heard, and to my ears, it was addictive enough to buy them.
And as Colin stated, the designer is quite convincing. But his product is even more so.
