Vivid Audio alternatives

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

Wow what a hypocrite you are Kenjo. Prove they are better!!!!! 

The Yamaha ns-5000's loves a lot power! Use two M-5000 Amps and your hear the best out of them! Yamaha should try this when they go to the shows..

Think vivid has bookshelves due out...10k maybe ?? 

@mofojo , kenjit can’t... he’s heard neither.  They don’t have anything but intercoms in his padded room.

Late to the post, not sure what you bought but I compared Wilson, Magico, Vivid, Vandersteen, Evolution Acoustics, YGs and many others a few years back and ended up with Vivid Giya G2 S2. The only speaker near its price that was also fabulous was the Vandersteen Model 7. For the $ Wilsons, EAs, and the like don't compare in terms of effortlessness, of one piece sound, boxless sound and ultra - dynamics. Another great choice is Magico but again for the $ the S series doesn't compare but the M series is very, very good. Custom cabinets and custom drivers give design engineering and creativity freedom (that most brands don't employ) which can lead to ground breaking sonics. YMMV.
