The price of sonic perfection: Vivid Audio launches monumental Moya M1 Hi-Fi loudspeaker

Vivid Audio Moya M1 in a room

Promising a sonic experience like no other, Vivid Audio has unveiled the Moya M1, a super-premium stereo loudspeaker boasting the kind of attention to detail and engineering precision, you’d expect of its £400,000 price tag.

The Moya M1 isn’t just a Hi-Fi component; it’s a work of art. Each component is engineered and hand-assembled to exacting standards, ensuring a level of craftsmanship that’s second to none.

From its imposing, monumental design to its precision-engineered drivers, every aspect of the Moya M1 reflects Vivid Audio’s unwavering audio ambition.

At the heart of the Moya M1 lies a 5-way, 13-driver system designed and hand-manufactured entirely in-house from Vivid’s signature carbon-reinforced sandwich composite. This cutting-edge construction ensures supreme rigidity and resonance control.

The Moya M1 also utilises an enhanced low-frequency design, incorporating four extensively braced bass enclosures with aerodynamically optimised reaction-cancelling ports.

Each module houses two proprietary C225-100H alloy diaphragm drivers arranged in a horizontally opposed configuration, said to ensure exceptional low-end linearity and minimal cabinet vibration.

Complementing the bass drivers are two front-firing C175-76 carbon fibre reinforced mid-bass drivers, a single C100SCu carbon-fibre reinforced mid-range driver, and diamond-like coated aluminium alloy tweeters.

Of course, such extreme audio comes at a price. With a stratospheric RRP, the Moya M1 is hardware exotica reserved for the most discerning audiophiles. For the same cash, one could purchase a Maserati speedster, small yacht, or even a second bolt hole – but for those music lovers who demand nothing but the best, the Moya M1 could represent the ultimate investment in audio perfection.
