WHAT THE WORLD’S LEADING AUDIOPHILE, MUSIC AND SPECIALIST HI-FI TITLES ARE SAYING ABOUT VIVID AUDIO LOUDSPEAKERS

“…it soon becomes clear that the Kaya S12s are remarkably capable in hi-fi terms, delivering a sound of uncommon scale and resolution”

I had a real ball with these speakers and played all manner of music through them, from the most delicate to the most raucous, and they never failed to deliver the goods. The Moya M1 is a loudspeaker that can do it all.

“When hifi offers this kind of transformative experience, turning listening into endlessly energized experience, I can only offer my highest recommendation.”

“Turn them up. That’s where the S12 come to life – it’s how they surprise and it’s when their detail and soundstaging merge with power and solidity of bass”

“I recommend the Vivid Kaya K45 to anyone looking to get as close to music as their time and attention allows with essentially no interference from the associated speaker.”

“For me, it’s all about the realism of how music sounds and how your audio system can take you to musical nirvana. With the Giya 3 Series 2 speakers in place, I have found that place as often as I chose to listen to my system: quite an accomplishment, and congratulations to the folks at Vivid Audio for producing such an outstanding loudspeaker.”

“… the Kaya 90 speakers perform in a way that brings life to recorded music and provides delightful long-term listening. I believe this is what it’s all about, and the Vivid Audio Kaya 90 speakers are all about providing high-quality musical pleasure and satisfaction.”

In Hifi+ magazine Jason Kennedy praises our Giya G1 Spirit for being a loudspeaker for music lovers.

I have liked every Vivid loudspeaker that has graced my system but the G1 Spirit is clearly in another league to those and most loudspeakers around.

Soundstage! Ultra’s Jeff Fritz used the Giya G1 Spirit to review electronic equipment. Since then they’re part of his reference system. “it’s the music lover who ultimately wins when listening to Vivid’s G1 Spirits.”

Tom L. of AV Nirvana thinks our Kaya S12 “… just may be the speaker you have been lusting after without even knowing it… Recommended without reservation.”

Herb Reichert relived music over and over while reviewing our Kaya S12. “Their defining trait is the beauty and intricacy of their projected soundspace … An absolute must-audition.”

The KAYA S12 keeps impressing reviewers around the globe. “This takes the ‘loudspeaker for small rooms’ concept and takes it to new heights.”

‘… I adjudge the GIYAs to be clearly in the front rank of high-end loudspeakers that I’ve heard. What I had heard to be so promising at audio shows was finally confirmed in my own listening room to be top notch, regardless of the source that I used with it.

Seductive, alluring, and highly satisfying, VIVID Audio’s GIYA 1 Series 2 Loudspeakers towed my heart away for the months they were here. I was very sorry to see them go.’

“Dutch magazine HVT reviewed KAYA S12 and they were wowed. Editor Ernst Neve had never heard such an impressive sound for the buck…”

In January 2020 our Giya G3 S2 was very well received by Audio Drom from the Czech Republic. The G1 Spirit reviewed this time however could be ‘… the proverbial final destination.’

‘South African Vivid Kaya 45 has a look like no other speaker I know of, but it was the sound that really made me gasp’.

‘To my ear, the Vivid Audio Kaya 45’s produced studio accurate reproductions of these performances. There was a smooth transition, from the tweeter driver to the mid-range driver, and back. My ears heard a nice flat, transparent reproductions, track after track.‘

Audio Drom from The Czech Republic reviewed the Giya G1 Spirit.

The editors of French Audiophile Magazine have reviewed several of our models over time. This time it was up to our Giya G2 s2 to convince Thierry Nkaoua.

“When the music appears as effortless and resolved – and neutral – as with the Vivid Audio Kaya S12, it is the music that determines the sound. Not the speaker … The dynamics, the resolution, the honesty. Everything is on a higher level”

“… a big crush, yes, totally unconditional for an extraordinary achievement.” What is not to love about that?

Our Kaya S12 is considered one of the best monitors by reviewer Leonel Garcia Marques of the Portuguese magazine “Audio Cinema em Casa”. We’re proud.

“… easily the best compact floorstander I’ve heard in ages and competes with the best speakers at its price regardless of size.”

‘La Kaya 90 distille inlassablement le plaisir d’une écoute franche, vivante, douce avec une scène sonore tridimensionnelle, quel que soit le style de musique concerné. C’est là leur grande vertu.’

‘There is simply a stage in front of you with musicians. An almost perfect illusion, with a fabulous speed, detail, reality and neutrality. The rendering of the middle area is very nice.’

‘Unreservedly recommended, even if you have a lot more money to spend.’ The reasons why are well explained by Ed Monkus.

Our Giya G2 has been reviewed in the Czech audio magazine Hi-Fi Voice. “Vivid Audio produces truly state-of-the-art speakers and the Giya G2 S2 has our highest recognition – this is the sound of the first league.” (in Czech)

‘The Giya G2 is not only the best loudspeaker I’ve ever reviewed, it’s the best loudspeaker I’ve ever heard.’

‘I found the Vivid Audio Kaya 45 speakers to be the most transparent and musical speakers I have reviewed in my more than 10 years of professional reviewing experience.’

‘Highly recommended’ is the conclusion of Geir Gråbein Nordby, who reviewed the Kaya 90 loudspeaker for Ljud & Bild.

‘You’re hearing the lack of distortion for which Vivid Audio’s unique hand-made drivers are justifiably famous.’

‘… volume, dynamics and the bass. It makes you feel very humble. Truly overwhelming. Most impressive is the feeling I had I was listening to way more expensive loudspeakers.’

‘Whereas the looks of the G3 may be a subject of love-or-hate opinions, the way they sound won’t be – it is phenomenal.’

‘They never failed to please, with any musical source at any reasonable listening level. (Perhaps they really are Shmoos!) The Kaya 45s are among a handful of speakers that I will miss after they are gone. You should not miss auditioning them.’

“Our Kaya 90 reviewed in Portuguese. One quote that summarises the overall tone and praise”

“Callas gave me goosebumps.”

‘Kudos to Mr. Dickie, as his latest line of speakers is an unqualified success. I’ve been doing high-end audio reviews for the last 20 years, and the Vivid Audio Kaya 90 is one of the most impressive products I have had the pleasure of reviewing. I will be very sad to see this pair go.’

“Vivid Audio has a reputation for fearless innovation, both technically and aesthetically, linked to beguilingly honest musicality. […] the Kaya 45 is musically compelling – and that is what sets great loudspeakers apart from merely good ones.”

‘[And] that clarity, that lack of any distortion, allowed me — begged me — to raise the volume higher than I’m usually comfortable with. Which brought me even closer to the music.’

‘In our test, the reviewer praised the Kaya 45 for its refinement, musicality, fluidity, detail, and surprisingly deep bass for a loudspeaker of its stature.’

“(…) beautifully engineered and possessed of a wonderfully open and engaging sound, it’s hard not to like the [new] Kaya 90.”

“It is surely one of the greatest speakers currently on sale, at any price.”

“(But) for me the B1 Decade is arguably the most complete, the best balanced, the overall most beguiling and compelling speaker Vivid Audio has produced to date.”

“An amazing loudspeaker proving that thinking outside the box leads to better results.”
