The Vivid Audio OVAL B1 Decade is a limited-edition anniversary loudspeaker based on the original Oval B1, updated with GIYA-inspired cabinet materials, revised driver topology, new crossover/filter design, and improved bass loading. It is a 3.5-way vented floorstanding design with an integral stand, intended to deliver high transparency, low coloration, and strong bass performance in a compact form factor. Reported retail pricing at launch was US$28,000 per pair, and it was produced as a limited run; the original Oval B1 remains in the lineup, so this Decade model is not generally described as a current mass-production replacement.
