Vivid Moya vs. Siltech Symphony

Right now at UK Hi-Fi Show Live 2024 at Ascot. Having already heard his talk, we (wife & I) had nice personal chat with affable Laurence Dickie designer of Vivid Moya. Moya is passive as all Vivids. 400k GBP. Very impressive speakers. Homogenous sound. Everything hangs together beautifully and powerfully. Full range. Front end was a Grimm MU1 or MU2. Amps were Halcro monos. tbh tho' to my ears a little "muddy" compared with Siltech Symphony (365k GBP) on Nagra electronics. Heard Siltechs during A/B (hosted by Matthias Böde, Stereo magazine Germany) of Cadence Garrard 301 (idler having all new parts except top plate) with SME 12" arm vs  SME Model 60 with 9" arm. Respective decks favoured depending on type of music imo. Pleasant conversation with Cadence rep and Matthias about the Garrard bespoke plinth not being able to carry 2nd arm for 78s. Whereas Moya looks philosophically correct (even without "ostentatious" [by presenter's own admission] curves of G1 Spirit), and the Symphony looks a bit Star Trek, probably I would take the Siltechs in forced choice. Incredibly imposing and soundstage (esp. with the Garrard). Please excuse notes as I am on phone and these are of course only cursory listening impressions with fundamentally different front ends. Laurence Dickie is in front row of Siltech vid and seems to be enjoying himself.

NB: Siltech vid is not from decks A/B referred above.

Thank you for sharing Interesting sound comparison! It seems listening position contributes a lot to sound difference, a Siltech is more direct sound of program material, while many room reflected sounds are blended on a Vivid Audio.
