Lack of coloration is one guiding principle for all of Dickie’s designs. A prototype was built which passed the tap and listen test and became the beginning of the B&W Matrix Series. This would provide the required stiffness in each of the three orthogonal directions to properly brace a speaker cabinet. And he thought-Why not make that out of plywood with holes cut through to lighten up the weight. The story goes: Back when Dickie was working for B&W, he was and sitting in the company tea room one fine day and a wine box caught his attention (that’s my kind of tea room), specifically the 3 x 2 pieces of interlocking cardboard inside. Prior to founding Vivid with Philip Guttentag in 2001, Dickie had more than a hand in the design of a number of speakers from Bowers & Wilkins including the Matrix Series and perhaps most famously the B&W Nautilus. If we dig into history, we learn that Vivid Audio’s designer, Lawrence Dickie, has been perfecting his approach to speaker design and construction for decades. Engineering comes first, design follows on. Which makes sense seeing as Vivid speakers don’t look like other speakers.īut when we learn about Vivid Audio, the opposite is actually the case. When some people look at a speaker from Vivid Audio, they don’t see engineering first, they see design. How Much Is Too Much to Spend on Speakers?Įngineering first.
