Laurence Dickie is a true hi-fi originator. While employed at Bowers & Wilkins in the 1980s to early 1990s, he invented the company’s patented Matrix-enclosure and tapered-tube technologies. He also designed the legendary Nautilus loudspeaker, which debuted in 1993 and is still produced by Bowers & Wilkins today.

In 2004, Laurence Dickie cofounded Vivid Audio with Philip Guttentag. Since then, the company has carried on producing innovative speaker designs unlike anything that the world has ever seen. Now, after 20 years, Dickie has designed a new flagship speaker, the Moya M1. As this video explains, the Moya M1 is a five-way design with eight woofers, which not only provide astonishing bass depth, but also an effortlessness to the sound that no speaker has been able to convey before. Watch this video to learn how Laurence Dickie arrived at this innovative driver arrangement.
