Welcome to the forum Drifter.

This is the first time I've seen dust covers on Vivid B1's. I didn't even know they existed.

I also see you have them set up with quite a bit of toe in as per Vivid recommendation. Have you tried different ways? Vivid seems to be a bit on their own in this regard and I would be interested to find out what is so different about Vivid speakers that makes them work better this way.

Cheers,

Pim

TAD are similar with regards to toe in.

Is it the marble under the B1?

All the Vivid speakers have covers. The implementation thereof on the B1's is not the most elegant or practical solution so I think that is why many people leave them off.
Vivid actually recommends quite a severe toe-in i.e. speakers cross in front of the listening position. Currently mine is set up to cross 30 cm's behind the listening position.

Speakers are on 2 granite plinths to lift them off the wooden floor.

Nice & worm look!
Welcome

So I upgraded from the Vivid Audio B1's to the B1 Decades.
The change was profound to say the least. The Decades are simply amazing.
The combination with the 220PRO is an amazing match. Air over wifi via Roon is rock solid.
