GIYA G1 SPIRIT
GIYA RANGE
INSPIRED BY NATURE,
FORMED BY SOUND
EFFORTLESS, TRANSPARENT SOUND FROM THE WORLD’S MOST
RECOGNISABLE LOUDSPEAKERS
We’re guessing you’ve never seen speakers like them; and you’ve definitely never heard speakers like them. The GIYA range is a direct, deliberate challenge to every aesthetic and acoustic convention. But it’s a rebel with a cause: there’s a cool, precise engineering logic behind every line and detail. And if you can’t take your eyes off them, imagine the effect on your ears. Massive, room-filling yet amazingly laid-back sound, revealing hidden subtleties and nuances in the music you love most. Embrace the extraordinary.
THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE
Our flagship GIYA range is the choice of committed audiophiles and connoisseurs worldwide. The radical shape is defined by proven acoustic principles taken to their logical conclusions, untethered by conventional wisdom and construction techniques. Every element of the design is the products of pioneering innovation, from our patented hand-built drive units to our advanced vacuum infused composite enclosure. Every detail has been considered and refined in our relentless quest to eliminate resonances and reflections – and enhance your listening pleasure.
NATURE KNOWS BEST
The purpose of GIYA loudspeakers is simple: to give you the clearest possible window on the music. No distortion or coloration in the sound, nothing to detract from the performance. Perfect clarity and precision in every note and breath. Even tracks you’ve heard a million times sound fresh, full of new details to discover and enjoy. Achieving it requires some truly remarkable, patented technology. And its true genius lies in the fact that you’ll scarcely notice it at work.
Reviews
“The sonic character of this loudspeaker is very distinct, inasmuch as it appears to have virtually none of its own.””
-Hifi Plus
“… on first hearing this speaker you get a sense that the acoustic cosmos has expanded, it truly is full scale in its capabilities.”
-the Ear Hifi Music Gear
“… it’s the music lover who ultimately wins when listening to Vivid’s G1 Spirits.”
-SoundStage! Ultra
The proverbial final destination.
-Audiodrom
If you have a small room…..you have a problem.
-Audio Exchange
"Vivid's Giya G1 Spirits could rock, and often inspired me to dive all in. And with a great recording, the closer to realistic levels I pushed them, the better everything sounded."
-Stereophile
"Their microdynamic sensibilities (save for the top-most registers), pitch definition, and near lockstep recreation of pace and rhythmic drive, combine to yield an overall sense of tempo and articulation that is addictive."
-the Absolute Sound
"The result is a delightful sound that yields so much more than the sum of its not inconsiderable parts. It is surely one of the greatest speakers currently on sale, at any price."
