Vivid Audio Speakers

Have to side with prof and his impressions. I have immensely enjoyed listening to that 'extra' clarity of Vivid loudspeakers at RMAF over many years. And after the auditioning I have always been sure they'd be fatiguing over the long haul unless the amp was warm to warm+. 

Just my ears. Still a nice speaker and perhaps someone's ideal sound.

Been playing around with the Vivid Kaya 45s in our listening room recently.  Amplifier matching is critical but once you do, amazing.  If anyone heard them and says that they are not musical, please come to hear them in our room.  We could not stop listening to them this past weekend, 6 hours straight.  It took us a little bit to figure the set-up right but we are pretty amazed on the sound right now.  

 

 

Any experience with the Oval series?

@verdantaudio- how do the Vivids compare with the Wilson Benesch?

The WB also have well engineered cabinets. Any comments are appreciated...

Thanks!

Giya's are some of my all time favorite speakers. I have heard the whole line with the Spirit's being my top choice. Having stated this, I am always amazed at the SQ that Vivid gets from a) the choice of driver and b) the quality of the internal workings. It really says a lot that these speakers sound as great as they do given a and b! One thing I would suggest, IF you own Vivid's, never open them up to look at the construction..just enjoy their amazing sound.
