@serg29633 ай бұрын
Agreed... I even hear it through my computer speakers. I had auditioned a pair of Vivid speakers years ago (I don't remember the model), and I thought they sounded too bright as well.

I admire the skill, technological advancement and engineering. From an audio-engineering perspective I struggle to comprehend why domestic ‘audiophiles’ are so lazy to employ a simply inferior passive crossover and one power amp that isn’t directly coupled to the drive units. I still admire the genius design.

The name is Bruno Putzys, not "Putski". Also, Where those Vivids are concerned if they could assign a minus number for WAF, these would surely receive it. Those things are seriously ugly.

No, the name is Bruno Putzeys, a compatriot from Belgium. He is the inventor of Hypex and nCore class D modules. Co-developer of the Grimm LS1 loudspeaker, and designer of the Kii Three speaker.

How it possible to do a so bad selection of tracks to demonstrate the quality of speakers? 120dB probably possible but here we can see a lack of passion for good msic to make demos. Engineering is there OK (with this father of the B&W Nautilus experience) with all the work on pipes, drivers, housing, materials...
@michaelmityok10013 ай бұрын
People listen to all types of music, especially poorly recorded music, unfortunately, so in order to demonstrate a speaker for everyone's tastes, it makes sense to play a little of everything.
@Phloored3 ай бұрын
Really? Ha! There will always be things in life that we fail to comprehend. I can assure you not everyone will like your idea of good music. But just because you fail to comprehend their choice of tracks, didn't mean there was not any thought behind it. In fact i would venture to guess there was more thought put behind it than just listening pleasure. No slag towards you, just defending what I'm sure was a very substantial consideration of choices for the demo. Very unlikely the inventory of such a revolutionary loudspeaker didn't think it through. It's is possible, i just find it unlikely.

I have the little S12's and they are so punchy and amazing in a small room - I think these speakers would blow my mind - always difficult to demo at a show.... I think the choice of bass tracks you demoed was a bit poor....if you want something more usical I will happily send you my play list. All the best - just love your spear brand and attention to acoustic engineering excellence....

I like Laurence, as well as his design choices and loudspeaker philosophy. I’m just not a fan of aluminum cone drivers. To me, paper cone drivers always sound more natural and pleasing to the ear 👂.
