Outstanding video, designs and designer. I’d like to see the exponential bass taper within the Vivid Audio loudspeakers (maybe that’s trade secret thought). The Nautilus is such an icon, very cool how’s its revered and kept original by B&W to this day. I’ve actually never heard one. Absolute Audio in Calgary reps Vivid. Gotta go there in December.

I think you owe it to yourself to! Let us know what you find.

I heard a Vivid Giya G3 last week. Great speaker and beautiful design. For sure I will never spend 100k on a Nautilus (never heard but find it amazing) but would live happily for years with a pair of Vivid, which is at least 60% less expensive.

Is there a more iconic loudspeaker than the B&W Nautilus? And will the Vivid Audio loudspeakers become just as iconic?

Time will tell!

In a world of deep 6 figure speakers, he doesn't get the credit he deserves IMO. His engineering concepts brought to production yield some of the best sonics currently possible at a fraction of competitors' prices.

We agree.

Mavericks are rarely recognised in their lifetimes. WIth that in mind Laurence Dickie is at least fairly well known!

I love the look of the Vivids - I'd rock a pair if I could afford them haha.
