Vivid Audio ???

Hi Kodg, if you found Yg Anat to be superior to Vivid K1, try to get the opportunity to listen to Giya, the hierarchy changes again (and quite drastically imo).

I liked your reference to "sweat spot", sometimes it does indeed take a lot of sweat before it will turn sweet ;^) I fully agree when you point out that Vivid is quite forgiving in that respect. At the HighEnd, listening to the Giyas, I changed seats from front to back, center to aisles several times, there were shifts but the presentation just remained wonderful.

Enjoy your K1, I'm sure you will!

Heard them at the LA show several years back. They made an impression as a very dynamic system that sounded MAYBE a touch on the bright side in that particular room. Overall, though, I thought they sounded very good, off a brief audio show type audition...FWIW

I heard their standmounted at a dealer's showroom once and the Giya at a show. The standmounted was good, but considering the price, I'd want the bottom end to go lower. The Giya was eyeopening with the detail and dynamics. Front end was DCS and cablings were Nordost. The sonic signature did not float my boat as I am not a detail seeker, but I have to agree that the wow factor was very very high and a lot of friends loved it.

I own a pair of SF Guarneri speakers, and these speakers are in my shortlist if I ever change them. I heard them with Halcro amps at CES and really liked them.

Hi Karelfd

I aim sure your correct about the Giya's- Honestly in this economy I aim afraid to demo them!

Like your system!
