September 26 – 27, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

A big thanks to Coup de Foudre Audio in Montreal for hosting a fun music event and for their amazing hospitality. \u00a0Vivid Audio’s Chief Engineer\/Designer, Laurence Dickie, was the presenter in an interactive technical and music seminar where he opened\u00a0our eyes and ears, demonstrating how\u00a0the sound\u00a0we hear coming from the front of the loudspeaker is colored by what happens behind and inside your loudspeakers mechanically, electronically and acoustically.<\/p>\n

\"_1020365\"<\/a>The\u00a0audience was in awe at the end when they realized the lengths Vivid Audio went through\u00a0to bring the\u00a0sum of parts together to create\u00a0as “transparent a window to our musical performance” as possible, a brand promise Vivid Audio strived to keep\u00a0during the past decade.<\/p>\n

\"DicNot only did we have lots of face time with the audience for two evenings straight, we were fortunate to have\u00a0Doug Schneider from Soundstage! Network pop over for a visit from Ottawa.\u00a0 He put\u00a0our Professor Dickie through some\u00a0tough questions. \u00a0To see the interview<\/a>, go\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Before the audience arrived, Danny at Coup de Foudre cranked up the system in this room for me to hear and I can honestly say that this is the best sound quality I have ever heard from the V1.5 at any store in N. America.\u00a0 Graeme and his crew have a magic touch when it comes to setting up a system!<\/p>\n
