Vivid Audio alternatives

@gabbabe I've not heard that model, just the Reference One and CR One.

If sound quality is not infinitely more important than looks you are not an audiophile.

Estelon sounds fenomenal. It's on the Magico, YG Acoustics, Avalon level. Do your homework "audiophile". Bulky equipment is for nerdy singles with bad taste.

There is no level. Its just opinions.

Thank you. I resemble that remark.

@gabbabe The Yamaha NS5000 does not sound like a Vivid, but I think is just as good. Do some research on it or PM me and I can pass along some info. I demoed the following speakers before deciding on the Yamaha.

Magico A3
TAD ME1
KEF Reference 1
Paradigm Persona 3F and 5F
Vandersteen Treo CT
Vivid Kaya 90

All of the above were excellent, look nice, and I would have been happy with any of them. All of these speaker manufacturers make their own drivers, which I like. The Yamaha just seemed a bit better for very long hours of daily listening in my home office. It is also the most life like speaker I have heard. The 3 drivers being of the same material could be the cause of that.
