Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII
At this level I don't think any speaker is "far superior" to any speaker. It comes down to preference, the room, and other components in the system. I would love to hear my speakers with Solution and Constellation components(amp & preamp).  
Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII
I remember reading the post, but that was one person's opinion. I heard them being driven by the Gryphon Class A stereo amplifier.  It was being played at above average volumes and at medium volume. They sound great no matter what and I didn't hea...

Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII
I've heard both and my wife and I prefer Vivid Giya G1 series 2 speakers in the context of the room and system that we heard them in. Its really about personal preference. To my ears the "system" I heard the Giya's in were musical,  detailed,  and...

I can't tell you what to purchase. I will provide some suggestions to listen to: Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated amp, T+A PA 3100 HV integrated amp, Parasound JC5 amplifier(I don't like their preamps), Constellation Inspiration 1.0 amp and preamp, J...

user140,I'm not sure if you're addressing your question to me, but I'll give my opinion?What amp and pre would you recommend to play with Dave? The amp should be matched to the speakers they are driving. The preamp should be matched to the amplifi... 
Power Conditioner
I've been going through a process of evaluating each component in my system and the power conditioner is the last component to be evaluated. I'll will start by connecting my amplifier straight into the wall and compare the sound to when it's plugg...

Why are you into hi end audio?
My Grandfather opened a record store over 70 years ago that my father still runs today. I worked there as a teenager and have always been around music.

I sent Vicoustics what I thought was everything 7 days ago. Everyday they sent me an email requesting something else. Despite sending them panoramic pictures, the next day they wanted a picture of my ceiling. I provided them measurements, but they...

I just couldn't deal with Vicoustics for room treatment due to what I deem poor customer service. I completed my order with GIK and should have everything sometime next week.

rossb ,Our systems and what we hear are different. I have the Dave and went back and worth between the Dave and TT2/M-Scaler. I couldn't disagree with you more based of what I heard in my system. I don't want to exaggerate, but the TT2 with M-Sc... 
Audioquest Firebird Zero
divertiti,I agree with with you that it's a game changer relative to the Oak and Redwood. I listened to both in my system and was underwhelmed. In that respect the Firebird Zero is definitely a step-up to my ears. I listen last night for a coupl...

Is it a good match from a technical point considering impedance matching between the amplifier(Jeff Rowland 625 S2 and the Chord CPA 5000? 
Audioquest Firebird Zero
Relatively speaking I wouldn't say the Firebird Zero speaker cables are game changers simply because of their price.
