In the audiophile segment we often witness the birth of projects with a practically unlimited budget in which the guideline is ‘to put in everything you want’, without keeping too much of an eye on the final price.
Vivid Audio Moya M1
The new speakers certainly also belong to this category Vivid Audio Moya M1. Vivid Audio is a name that is not known to everyone, but behind which it is hidden Laurence Dikie, the creator of the legendary Nautilus. For Dikie, form is always a function of sound and these Moya M1s also allow his vision to shine through clearly.
We are talking about colossal speakers, weighing well 346 kg each. Four sections accommodate well 13 speakers, organized in 5 ways for a total of 3,000 watts RMS of power. In more detail, they are present two by two 8 x 22.5 cm woofers which generate the lowest frequencies: the technical data sheet talks about the possibility of going down to below 20 Hz. In the central section we find 4: two of 17.5 cm for the medium/low, one of 10 cm for the medium/high and, finally, a 2.6 cm tweeter for the higher frequency range. The mid/bass and tweeter domes are made of Diamond-like Coating. The manufacturer declares a Frequency response of 19Hz-42kHz.
