Vivid Audio alternatives


I love the sound of Vivid Audio's Giya and Kaya speakers.
BUT their aesthetics is failing the WAF test...  

Can anyone recommend other speakers that have a similar sound? 

Thanks,

I used to have a pair of vivid giya g3, sold it and now
have a wilson sasha 2. At first i thought it was a lateral
move, but it turns out wilson is a much better speakers
all around.
Another example of how we each hear things differently and have different preferences. I've not directly compared them in the same room/system but I have heard the W/P 7, W/P 8, Sasha (but not Sasha 2), and Giya G3. The Wilsons are very good but I would choose the Vivid without hesitation. I hear it as more transparent and resolved, better musical articulation. That said, one thing the Wilsons do better than any other I've heard is give a sense of hall space, especially on live recordings. But I also wonder if that's not a coloration from the mid-bass hump?
But it's all academic for me as Wilson and Vivid are out of my budget reach. I'm "suffering" with Thiel CS2.4s in which I upgraded every passive part. Other than bass extension and low bass definition, they come very close to the best I've heard (TAD Ref One, Vandersteen 7, Vivid Giya, Avalon Ascent II).

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.
