I have listened to these and was VERY impressed with their performance. So much so, I bought a pair. 😀

[MegaM]

Just heard the Moya M1 model today. Impaccable speaker brand. They do everything, in particular clarity bass and speed

[gttaudio]

Great review Steve, you really described well. Love the shirt!

[harriglnola]

Your shirt is BEAUTIFUL!!! I L-O-V-E it!

[superdougie]

Steve you are the very best and always offer up some great Hifi gear for use to find out more about and always so interesting as well, thank you!

[mymixture]

You review my future speakers, how great is that, thanks a lot, that really helps me with my decision.

[arthurwatts]

Steve, my old brain must be corroding - I've done a 180 from 'transducers first' to 'source first' but man do these make a statement. How often do you see a speaker that actually IMPROVES the aesthetics of the room it's in ? Kudos to Vivid ; truth in branding .

[xstensl]

those RCA Living Presence recordings still hold up well after 65 years, engineering is everything

[stephenking]

Love shirt and the review and the review.

[michaelwright]

It looks like something you would find in an arcade back in the 70's early 80's... Kind of cool.

[TriAmpMyFi]

Music by Cal
Thanks for the artist recommendation! Loving it. And the interesting & unique product reviews are always welcome entertainment. 🔈🔉🔊

[mpachis]

Steve, won't be buying $11, 000 speakers, but thanks for turning me on to Lonnie Smith. Enjoying that album on my Maggie LRS+ & REL subs.

[LS-tijo]

Thx for reviewing. I was interested in this exact model (ironically, I'm one of the guys who likes how they look), but for a combined music/home theater system, . I've given up because Vivid has never come through with their C35 center channel speaker (as of today, their site web says "coming soon", as it has for a couple of years).

[JamesJoyce]

I saw an SPQR in the back - I loved that book

[randybehenna]

I have an old school set of vivid 101 love the sound

[jahyegor]

Steve, please list the music you listen to during the review in the description. it would really help. Thanks!

[eldloppa]

Great review!

I heard the S12 at a local audio show last year. They played Lie Still Little Bottle by They Might be Giants, and that really showcased their exhilarating presence and breathtaking speed. The messy little crescendo in the middle followed by the hard piano chord - those little drivers damn near blew our hair back.

Very impressive, very clear. Not the type of sound I was after, but for what they were - incredibly nice.

Would have loved to hear these big brothers.

[xtctaz]

You should try the maya 90 or 45. Wonder if they would be more rounded wrt bass and ability to fill a room
Love your new shirt btw

[michaelvaladez]

Oh my God if I was married and brought these home I would be out on the street with them...no not in my home...but I'm not but just when you thought a new design would never rear it's head low and behold..here we are ...it must have a deep bass response..just saying...oh no out of my price range...thank you Steve Guttenberg..where would we be without PS...What are your favorite 10 island records/ cd you would have on a desert island..maybe for another day/ post ..and also includes what system ???? Love your new shirt..low DB'S...

Excellent video aș always. Ever think of doing a "Questions for Steve" episode? Questions like: What is your wardrobe budget? How many shirts do you own? Where do you buy your shirts and glasses, (love the glasses)? If speaker wire is so important why are the internals of speakers wired with ordinary small gauge copper with Crimp connections? You know, questions on any thing? ☮Peace
