Oval B1 Decade

Product description
An oval pod on a cast pedestal, and the only Vivid that is one cabinet rather than a shape built around its tubes. The two 125 mm woofers fire sideways from inside, bolted to each other through the enclosure by a thick metal rod so their recoil cancels, and the cabinet vents through two ports — one front, one rear. Vivid calls it 3.5-way: the pair works together below 130 Hz and one of them carries on alone up to 900. The 2.3-ohm minimum against a 4-ohm nominal is the hardest load Vivid makes — below even the Kaya 45.
