RE: Vivid Audio B1 or 1.5 with D220Pro - Flashman - 10-Jan-2021 (10-Jan-2021, 13:02)paul.oorbeek Wrote: I had aan rare opportunity to listen to both the V1. 5 and B1 speakers with my Devialet. I would never have purchased the Vivid Oval 1.5 without the benefit of SAM. No comparison IMHO as SAM transformed the bass and overall cohesion of music. After falling in love with both the Vivid look and sound, I found a pair of used B1 Decade speakers and decided to move up the food chain. As Drifter mentions, there is no SAM profile for the B1 Decade, which has a different x-over from the SAM-enabled B1, but nevertheless the bass response is spot on. Plus, you get a dedicated mid-range driver, so important for vocals. If you are on a budget, I would definitely test the 1.5 with SAM just to see whether you would like it. If you have the coin, the B1 will be better.

To my ears it added both depth as well as control. I usually ran it somewhere between 20% and 50% as I felt it sounded best in my room which is not that large. The red is lovely. The speakers are fantastic to listen to but even better to just sit and admire LoL. Vivid Audio B1 or 1.5 with D220Pro - paul.oorbeek - 11-Jan-2021 Thanks for the replies.

I have my eye on an K1 which has damage on one side so it has to be fixed. Anyone have experience with a scratch and fixing it and what is the difference in SQ to be expected between an B1 or an K1? I have an Expert 220 Pro CI. RE: Vivid Audio B1 or 1.5 with D220Pro - Flashman - 22-Mar-2021 (22-Mar-2021, 11:35)paul.oorbeek Wrote: I am still on the search for Vivid Audio speakers.

I have an Expert 220 Pro CI. I own a pair of B1 Decade speakers and received with them a small bottle of paint. One may use very fine sandpaper to even out any scratches and then apply the paint. It won't be perfect but it'll be better. I've successfully communicated with one of the owners of Vivid in South Africa to make inquiries about repairs and other matters. His name is Philip Guttentag ([email protected]). As to your SQ question, I've never heard the original B1s nor the K1s, so can't help there.
