Albert,

Your system is very impressive! I could imagine the depth of image your speakers can create. Which model of Vivids did you help Philip set up?

I just pitched in with some unpacking and moving things around at Newport.

Philip has such a grand personality you cannot help wanting to be around him. I did not contribute one bit to the wonderful sound he created, just some labor to help out.

The Vivid was the B1 I believe and they also had on passive display two other models from Vivid.

Sound was superb, Philip received two awards for best sound from Positive Feedback and Audio Beat. Well deserved based on my time listening in the room.

Do you mean Jeff Buckley?

Yes, I frequently do that, having been a fan of Tim Buckley (Jeff's father).

Nothing short of amazing, the emotion that poured forth from each and sadly, both of them died young.

I'm always impressed with the sound of Vivid speakers at shows. This last show at Newport I spent a good amount of time helping Philip O'Hanlon with the Vivid room (He is "On a Higher Note").

Philip had great sound, In fact I was so moved by the LP he played me, "Grace" by Tim Buckley, that I bought a copy for myself.

There were sub woofers in the "On a Higher Note" room but I cannot recall the brand. They integrated magically due to some software program or box that Philip was showing with.
