I have heard a few of the Giya models and the Kaya 45. I found they sounded like KEF Reference and Blades and I love KEF. I prefer the KEF Blades over the Vivids but I could live with either. The sound is coherent, fast, and exciting. It was also not fatiguing which was surprising.
I was seriously considering the Vivid G4 or the Kaya 45 for my office and was concerned about the reliability post that I read on A’gon. However, after extensive research online I attributed that to an one-off post and not a pattern.
I decided against the Vivid due to the side firing woofers and price. I am looking instead at the Paradigm Persona 3F or TAD ME1. The store I demoed the TAD ME1 is advertising on A'gon the top of the line demo TAD R1 for the price of the Vivid G2. You may want to have a listen to that one too.
