Yyssantabarbera, you will be so happy with the Blade 2. They are extraordinary loudspeakers.
As we mentioned before we had both lines the Blades sound more like the mega dollar speakers so we at one time were contemplating the Vivid G1 for our reference room but ruled them out due to the similarities in design between the two lines, with the Blades offering sound in the same calibre for half the price of the big Giyas, other than more extreme bass response, we ruled out the Giyas because the performance of the Blades was that good.
In terms of design and technology these are both tour de force loudspeakers, we feell that the Blades are better than the Vivids for less money the Blade 2 compares to the Giya G3 which is a $40k loudspeaker. The other issue with the Vivids sound is that they are even more detailed then the Blades which makes them a bit more sensitive to any brightness in a system.
The Blades are a perfect balance between resolution, sound staging, bass tightnss and punch.
