Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII

Don't get me wrong I love my Magico's but I do find that when listening to friends systems they are not the most dynamic speaker and even so at lower volumes as well. They are a bit restrained compared to other top notch speakers but then on the trade off front do other things better so its never easy.. 

I have owned Magico's for a long time and the S5 MK I for years before these so trust me I get Magico's and their sealed cab bass and love them and love how tuneful and accurate it is but there are other speakers that are in a similar range that have better bass and are more dynamic and more vibrant and impactful even at lower, normal volumes.

Now I am going to talk out of both sides of my mouth here because I love my Magico's and am not complaining about them but sort thinking about making a change for a speaker that has similar resolution and low distortion and the great beauty these provide but maybe that is a little less retained and more vibrant and dynamic with more impactful bass.

I have tried many different really good amps and even with the MK II I have been fortune to hear them with some really good amps and its not how they are driven. I actually now own a amp that controls them the best for any Magico I have owned and am really happy with it but thinking about maybe a speaker than will approach it with a little umpth and heft.

Now because I really do love Magico and these speakers I am now considering REL Carbon Limited Subs on here for sale. I love REL because I find their speakerOn so much easier to blend and was thinking these might up the dynamics and bass I am craving.  

Also, with the Vivid Audio G1 Series 2 which in fairness to the S5 MK II is quite a bit more money (I am buying for close to S5 MKII money so that is kind of making me think on it) but still these speakers should probably be fairly compared to the Magico M3. That there is my thinking that these should be a legit upgrade but my problem is they are but ugly - sort of awful actually but if they sound as great as they say I don't really care that much and they look awesome from the side but horrible from the front.

What do you think. These two options below will cost right about the same money, almost anyways.

Bet your friends speakers are ported?  I also find Magico lack dynamics, weight, too polite ... in comparison so not MY cup of tea.   I'll take a good ported speaker any day.

I've only heard the Giya G4 but they were good. Might not fill a large room but the G1 or G2 should.

The only Magico I have heard is the M6 but that was one of the best speakers I've ever heard!
Unfortunately very, very expensive.

I personally like Focal and think you should listen to some Utopia in the same price range as your two top choices before deciding anything. 

Get the new Rockport Atria mk2 much better than Magico or Vivid.Better bass,stage detail,warmer midrange and much better highs get them asap.They will work great with Pass amps as well.Enjoy!!

I have G2 in my room. I heard in the dealer show room... and take it. Truly it is hard to find bad things in those speakers. Perhaps the visual appearance that is very personal (for me the shark like profile... love it!!!). But it was not the look I decided for them but sound. Silky and detail upper, astonishing real mids and great bass. Everything served in excellent proportions. Yes... I believe that what made me to buy them was the last aspect. I never heard such balanced speakers. I rediscover my recordings. Oh... I run them with Chord (Blu/Dave combo) and McIntosh (TransAmp/TubePre) rig. I have a feeling that feeding them from mono blocks could make the sound even better but really it is not a desire to change anything.
They are good in all genres. Well... quite good for classical music but lets be honest is there any speaker that can really imitate classical music as real one?
And the last at the end... they gave me peace. Perhaps it is my age (40), perhaps my experience... I was looking for the speakers that combine  musicality and fidelity and found them. I am happy now. Isn't this all about?
Definitely should be listen before you buy anything else...
