Vivid Audio alternatives

Late to the post, not sure what you bought but I compared Wilson, Magico, Vivid, Vandersteen, Evolution Acoustics, YGs and many others a few years back and ended up with Vivid Giya G2 S2. The only speaker near its price that was also fabulous was the Vandersteen Model 7. For the $ Wilsons, EAs, and the like don't compare in terms of effortlessness, of one piece sound, boxless sound and ultra - dynamics. Another great choice is Magico but again for the $ the S series doesn't compare but the M series is very, very good. Custom cabinets and custom drivers give design engineering and creativity freedom (that most brands don't employ) which can lead to ground breaking sonics. YMMV.
