Didn't @Thomas savage have some Vivid speakers with recurring Tweeter issues or am I mixing that up with someone else in the forum?
He did indeed, which is why I’m providing another viewDidn't @Thomas savage have some Vivid speakers with recurring Tweeter issues or am I mixing that up with someone else in the forum?
Mine still work, iv not had any issues for ages.Didn't @Thomas savage have some Vivid speakers with recurring Tweeter issues or am I mixing that up with someone else in the forum?
Hes been to my house half a dozen times or more I reckon.. not for social reasons.Not my experience. My Vivd B1s were serviced by Laurence Dickie, the designer, himself, and he came to my flat to fine tune. OK, it helps I’m in the U.K., like him.
Obviously, others have had a different experience, but I’d like to provide a positive data point.
Id have a good look round the bass drivers for unstuck rubber.. careful putting the D50 in don't stick your finger in the tweeter or indeed damage the new driver lolThey are amazing when they work indeed. My D50 has, apparently, arrived. Not picked it up yet. Not going to comment in public about the distributor either
It's a bit like driving a first gen Ferrari Modena 360 though. Exhilarating until oil spills on the back window.

Kind of a metallic Deep PurpleWhat colour are they?!
I was originally behind the idea of this thread. Hi guys, new here. Been around on other forums too.
I currently own JBL 4367 and was hoping to upgrade and was contemplating what could better this quite amazing pair of loudspeakers. I initially asked the OP what he thought about Wilsons and Avantgarde and he seems to be steering me away from those. Definitely going to steer away from Wilsons but Magico seems neat.
Budget is 25k+ but I'm okay spending around double that if the speaker is worth it. I was also seriously considering the Avantgarde Duo XD as I heard the Duo Mezzo at a local enthusiasts place and it was amazeballs.
I don't think Wilsons have many fans here. Magico is fine if you want to spend a lot of money. They'll sound different from the JBLs. Better? Not sure.I was originally behind the idea of this thread. Hi guys, new here. Been around on other forums too.

Probably going to go for mcintosh if the speaker is insensitive and requires a large load. Don’t know much about high end amplifiers. I wasn’t planning on spending nearly as much on the amp as the speaker though. I had an idea in my head to get a mc462 stereo amp and use a totaldac d1-dual as a preamp and dac. But this is just preliminary ideas and I have a lot more research to do.I don't think Wilsons have many fans here. Magico is fine if you want to spend a lot of money.

What amplifier are you using?
Maybe keep what you have? It seems you're pretty satisfied with them.I currently own JBL 4367 and was hoping to upgrade and was contemplating what could better this quite amazing pair of loudspeakers.
i appreciate this feedback as it’s not something I really seriously considered until now I guess. At least two of you guys have indicated that at this price range all you might get for your trouble is different sound. In that regard I guess the Jbl 4367 really is that good... or “state of the art” so to speak.Maybe keep what you have? It seems you're pretty satisfied with them.

I’m third. I also have JBL 4367, previous pair was YG Hailey for quite a bit more money than JBL. And other pricier speakers are a side grade to me from hi fidelity point of view. I think you should also consider room EQ and maybe few subs. D&D8C could be much more convenient here.i appreciate this feedback as it’s not something I really seriously considered until now I guess.

@direstraits fan, if you are considering horns I have a pair of Cessaro Liszt semi active four ways, I need to sell as we have been ‘kicked off’.
Cessaro use very nice TAD compression drivers Supravox dynamic drivers.
These are they,
