Not sure I'm a fan of the design

Yeah, a model like that. Real big. I've heard Genesis on plenty of speakers but holy bejeezus did it slam, with a huge soundstage and open airy sound with tons of detail.
It was one of the more memorable sounds I've heard at a show. Which is one reason why I'd be intrigued to hear an even more ambitious Vivid speaker like the one in this thread.

Kinda look like the engine outlets of the Nostromo in Alien. And they're even Moya than the Giya. And why are all these speaker makers insisting on naming everything either "M1", "M2" or "M3"? Could it be they are aspirationally naming them after the various "money supplies"? Cargo Cult behavior for sure.

Now you know that they wouldn't be so crass. They stole the M from BMW because they thought it stood for the Musical sound system that the engine is.

Price is $465,000

LOL

Speakers that play loud and clean are impressive.

Not a revelation on par with that of Saul of Damascus.

Price is $465,000

That USD?

 

[Pearljam5000]

That USD?

Lol
Yes

The good thing is that if you get a typical 10% discount on them you can buy another great audio system or a car for your wife with that money and tell her look what a bargain I found for us.

I’m sure they’ll sell it to you for less if you pay cash instead of credit.

While I live in a stand-alone house (the one at the moment is 1100 square feet, including the outdoor patio), even if I had the money (and could justify it in my mind as being useful used for those), I could not justify the space they take up (as, of course I would need one for each channel, at the least) and therefore would need to have a much larger home.
Since my wife & I are fine here (and here is paid for) and the only reason that I can think of that I would want a bigger home for: is to have a 4 car garage with 10 ft. ceilings (so that we are not cramped for space & can actually use the garage for 2 cars, a working on the cars/lawn gear & gardening equipment area, as well as the space to store those things).
So I guess I'll have to be gracious and let be more of these available for others to be the ones that enjoy having these these monstrosities.

Is that just your guess? Or are you in Munich and have you heard them?
I’m still waiting on a report from my friend who is there too.

Based on … what?

Peace.

My guess based on the sound of other Vivid speakers and the fact that it's a truly innovative design .
Well maybe they aren't the best , but probably one of the best there...
Also they Vivid speakers usually measure well if I'm not mistaken ...

I don't know what is so innovative about these; but I could be wrong...
I also find these violently ugly .. a pair of fat, alien-oid, blobs...

And by now you do know what $465,000.oo would afford you.. Perhaps you would then , finally, get your complete Genelec 7.4.4 system (8361 for LRC and Surround), 4 8351 for Atmos ceilings, plus whatever Genelec monster subwoofers, 4 of these ... plus whatever crazy Pre-Pro , you want to dream of... plus Acoustic Room Treatment ... with some money left for a G-Wagon Electric perhaps ...
Come to think of it the price of these speakers is outrageous.


Peace.
