Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: And where did you happen to audition Vivid loudspeakers?

I heard them (the big ones) years ago on AK fest in Detroit and also couple other shows I don't remember either RMAF or elsewhere. I know that show conditions can be far from optimal and one should not form opinion about a product based on the audition. I asked the guys who exhibited them how happy they were with the sound they were getting and they were pretty happy actually and pleased so I had no further questions. It was one of the worst high end dreck I heard to date, simply boring garbage and the speakers looked like a sad, plastic caricature of B&W Nautilus in the 5th element fashion. I was not familiar with the name so I laughed and thought that it must be some Chinese knock-off trying to capitalize on famous brand idea. Some sort of white van speakers for Detroit's rednecks. I didn't even check the price thinking it can't cost more than $2-3k ....including 300% of importer's markup.
Now , it was some years ago. I will not miss the chance to hear them on Axpona show should they exhibit. If I change my opinion I will post my thoughts and apologies if due since I'm badmouthing them for the second time;)
