VIVID AUDIO SPEAKERS

I love the vivid speakers. I think they the most natural sounding speakers I have experienced. Highly dynamic, realistic, lively, and never fatiguing. I have owned many speakers along the years, including Avalon, Wilson, and Magico. Go and listen to them. Even the smallest, the V1.5 is much better then and Wilson.

I have the Vivid v1.5. They are the most musically engaging speakers I have owned. They involve me into the listening like no other speaker. I have owned Proac, B&W, Magnepan, Thiel, Focal, and Wilson Benesch speakers (listened to many others), all very nice...but the Vivid v1.5 has taken me to a level beyond expectation. I expected a very neutral, unboxy, effortless sound. Got that and a level of coherence and continuity that I have never ever heard from any type of speaker. They are not cheep but frankly they are a bargain for what they do. There have been a few moments in my hifi experience (25 years) that absolutely opened my eyes to high end audio. Listening to an LP12 for the first time back in the 80s when IT was the the TT to own. Switching from a Thorens TT to an LP12. Getting my first really good preamp. Getting Audioquest silver signal and speaker cables and now with the Vivid speakers. You must go listen to them. 1 Minor quibble...binding posts a little hard to manage if you have spade connectors. Marantz sa-7, Avid Volvere SME IV, Aesthetix Calypso Signature, Rhea, Plinius SA-50 MKIII, Nordost Valhalla, Shunyata PCs.

Tidal, Vivid and Brodman are the top three speaker manufacturers in my book, and I have experienced the trench that separates these from the vast majority rather as a quantum leap sort of thing. If you have a chance, do listen to the Giya; Vivid manufacture speakers that stand far above discussion on single sound characteristics that one invariably seems to indulge in with the other names you mentioned. Instead, Vivid stands for completeness of the musical experience. Here's another thread with a few more thoughts

It would be nice if I could read the microscopic print on the website.

I have great things about YG audio speakers and Vivid Audio speakers. Has anyone compared these two speakers? How do they compare?
