Vivid Audio Speakers

I've heard the big Giya speakers at shows, listened to the Oval speakers at a dealer, and listened several times to the Kaya at a friend's place.

They are indeed "vivid."  Super transparent, detailed and sky high airy high end.   Everything sounds "right there."

However, to my ears, I found it more of a "hi-fi" vs "natural" sound.For instance, even well recorded voices tended to sound unnaturally vivid/brightened/sibilant/electronic.   I remember in particular a Joni Mitchel track, and the Kaya produced a super clear sonic image of her voice, except it just didn't actually sound very human.   More like a super vivid electronic hologram.

The same track at home (on my Thiel 2.7 speakers/conrad johnson tube amps) sounded significantly more fleshed out, relaxed and more like a real human voice.

I don't mean they can't sound fantastic.

I remember being attracted in to a room at an AV show due to the amazingly "live" sound of a horn-based band track playing in the room...to find the vivid speakers playing.

I've also heard tracks like Genesis' Squonk sound astounding on the big Giyas - killer bass impact,  sonic detail, and imaging for miles.  I get why people like them, and they can no doubt sound convincing on the right material, or in the right set up.
