Lawrence Dickie

We're a big fan of Lawrence Dickie. We were a big fan of the B&W Snowmen, and the Saxophones. We were even a fan of the outlandish 800, and have looked at his Nautilus for personal reference use, with a piano. It took us to last night, however to understand the inspiration for his Gaya.

Vivid Gaya with Troublodor 80's or JBL Paragaon

The movie Kings of Pastry introduced us to the MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France), and the haute cusine desert scene. You don't need to be a MOF chef to wear the collar - any Lacoste trainer or Maison Kitsune jersey will rather do.

Regarding pastries, however, while we've had a birthday cake made for us by the best Pastry Chef in Asia (then in Macau), and have been a bit of a fan of the art, we haven't been familiar with regular diners at the quality level of Maxim's of Paris.

The German Psychiks Troubadour 80 is used above to augment the Vivid Gaya G1 - with it's DDD driver (we prefer a G cup). Note the JBL Paragon, which would make a great drink cabinet - be sure if you are visiting Vancouver to check out Thierry Chocolates on Alberni by Hermes. (we like the Marquaise).


By writing at this length, we're sort of excusing ourselves, however we were not familiar with the artistic style used by the French pastry chefs in their sugar features, and so found the work of Lawrence Dickie in his Vivid loudspeaker line (particularly Gaya), rather quaintly baffling.

It's a bit rude of us to bring up the noble German wave-bender when referencing French pastries as the inspiration for an Australian speaker we find rather non-aesthetically pleasing (though great in the above setup if one imagines cocktails and sex as the situational setting, and the speaker itself representing flames).




Dickies is the working man's pants. Is Gaya the Working Man's speaker?

Apartments in Hong Kong take 3 generations to pay for. Should Vivid Gaya's take 1/3rd a generation (30 years), then?
