Has anyone heard these speakers? Are there any owners who would like to comment.How do they compare to other high end speakers (Revel, B&W, Wilson, YG etc.)? What do you like about Vivid. Any poblems or complaints? What amps, pre-amps, cables, front end are you using with Vivid?
I have added a pair of the REL S/3 subwoofer to accompany the Vivid 1.5, driven by Luxman MQ88 and CL88 along with the Luxman DA-06 dac. Very coherent ... The RELs just add impact and body.
I have the V1.5 and agree better than my Wilson Audio Puppy 5.1, my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors as well as (now sold) B&W 802N. As many say lacks bottom end on some material but added 2 x B&W PV1 subwoofers which complement them due to 'speed'.
Next is my Vivid Audio B1 coming.
Driving the V1.5 with NuPrime IDA-16 and Nordost Heimdall speaker cables.
PV1 sub was my first thought. I also was thinking that 2 of them would work best. I have one that I have been using for over a decade now in various systems. The PV1 is fast and clean so it does not change the sound signature of the speakers it is mated with.
