Vivid speakers Giya G3 and Oval K1

The Giya G3 is certainly a nice speaker. How much nicer than the Oval K1 I can
not say as I have never heard the K1s.

I should also say that IMO the Giya G3 is not worth it retail price of 28k euros. I
had the Giya G3 in my system for a week and I was very surprised to see/hear
that my Avantgarde UNO G2 speakers (retailing at 16k euros) bested them in so
many areas.

As this is not a thread about Avantgarde UNO speakers, I will only say that,
unlike the UNOs, the Giya G3s need to be played loud (i.e. 75 dB or more) to
develop decent bass, soundstage and stereo image. This was a deal breaker for
me as most of my listen session are between 60 and 75 dB.

I listened oval k-1 at my friends crib...and i must say excellent speaker somewhat odd "space" look but sound is sublime...very rafined....you wouldnt expect such a big sound from not so big drivers...i guess its worth of the money...allthough i would never buy it...it was amplified with goldmund integrated, msb teh. dac signature with galaxy clock...listened them also with dartzeel integrated...both very good but goldmund is better with ovals...has better control, more energy...

btw did not spend decent time with G3s as with ovals K-1 and did not hear them with same gear to say truly which speaker is better but if you ask me i would take K-1s before G-3s...for the price i think K-1 is more acceptable and capable...
