VIVID AUDIO SPEAKERS

Answering your question: YG or Magico don't compare to Vivid in my mind. The Vivid speakers are way more musical and real sounding.

Would Vivid Audio V1.5 be able to play comfortably in a 30m2 room? Or would it be stretching them?

Meanwhile I have tried to Vivid Audio V1.5 in my 30m2 living room and, after some careful positioning, they sounded amazing and have all I want except for the lack of bass.

Of all the alternatives I heard, they're still my favourite. But I need that bass... not too much... just enough for a cello to not sound like a viola :)

I'm considering complementing them with a subwoofer but I wonder if this is a good solution.

Any opinions?

Thanks,
Nuno

A few weeks ago, i heard the Giya G1's. The system was in a large room with Mola Mola amps, Luxman DAC, an Apple Mac book pro doing digital and the Brinkmann Bardo doing analog duty. The speakers were exceptional and threw a very large and well defined stage with exact placement of instruments. The bass was articulate and had great heft, a very impressive demo indeed. I think the only down-side IF you can call it that is the size and look of the speakers. They are without doubt a particular taste in aesthetics. OTOH, IF I had the room for these, they would be on my VERY short list. I have also heard most of the YG line, which is not IMO in the same league as the Vivid's. Cold and analytical is the way i would describe the YG's that I have heard.

I have added a pair of the REL S/3 subwoofer to accompany the Vivid 1.5, driven by Luxman MQ88 and CL88 along with the Luxman DA-06 dac. Very coherent ... The RELs just add impact and body.
