Vivid Audio alternatives

Beetlemania

i have owned 3 pairs of vivid speakers. Ist was vivid v1.5 then
upgraded to giya g3 before going back to vivid v1.5 again.

vivid is A world class speakers and you’re correct when you
say that they dissapear like no other—its just music you hear
and no speakers. The problem for me though is i find them
to “monotonic” in terms of it’s portrayal of instrument timbre,
its just too “bleach” for my liking; a good example is drums
of different kinds all sounds the same. I think the culprit here
is their use of aluminum materials in all its drivers.

another problem i have with vivid speakers is the fact that
they have no cabinet diffraction but do have a very strong
cabinet colloration due to viibrations, this may sbe confusing;
what i mean is i hear a certain amount of warmt or hazziness
in the mids that i attribute to the cabinet not being that innert.

you get what you pay for if you want better go for magico or wilson. 

Wilson is at/near the head of the pack when it comes to cabinets (IMO, their drivers are their biggest weakness). I'm glad you're happy with the Sasha. But I think you're mistaken, based on my audition and Stereophile measurements, to claim the Vivid has a cabinet coloration.

Recently bought the Dutch&Dutch 8c with an Innous and I can’t see there’s a better sound system available.

There is an interesting review at dagogo.com of the Tannoy Prestige Canterbury GR in which the reviewer compares them to his Giya G1's.  Two completely different engineered and designed loudspeakers: the Tannoy being a traditional wood furniture grade cabinet, while the Giya looks like they were grown in a gourd patch.  However, the reviewer found both to be excellent sounding, and highly recommended the Canterbury.  Might be worth a hear see.
