Vivid kaya 45 or Magico A3

I forgot to mention when I chose the Vivid Giya G3 I almost was seduced by and purchased the Sonus Farber Amati.  The Amati presents with warmth and romance as opposed to the clarity and speed of the G3.  Images are dense but with diffuse edges compared to the sharp image separation of the G3.  I general, imaging more holographic with the G3 and staging wider and deeper even though image density better with the Amati.  The Amati beats the G3 in tone/timbre.  Here it is rich and warm while the G3 is lean but still natural.  In general the Amati presents with the romantic warmth of sitting in row 20 of Carnegie Hall while the G3 presents with the clarity and speed of sitting in row 5 of David Griffin Hall (Avery Fisher).  The Amati has more rounded bass and not as sharp of a leading transient edge at all frequencies.  Based on your goals, the Amati may be the ticket to the sound you are looking for.  It is more dear new and pre owned than the G3.  G3 does not do well on the pre owned marked because of its eccentric industrial design, where the Amati is traditionally gorgeous.  Also. if budget is a concern, a SF product below the Amati may also meet your goal. 

Sonus Fabers speakers always sounds good, often even with poorer recordings. I listened to the maxima amator en Il cremonese a few times on audio shows.

But I think I like the more direct, neutral sound of the Vivids. I am going to listen to the Kayas soon.

And I will keep an eye out for the G3 on the pre owned market

+1 @jsalerno277   I own the Vivid Giya G2s and love them.  But I find them nicely warm and romantic vs my previous Hailey 2s.  I thought the SF Amatis were dull sounding in comparison, but it was with McIntosh tube gear..

op

another vote here for sonus fabers given your solid state amplification

though i must mention the best sounding most beautiful and natural sounding dynamic speakers i have owned are upper proacs driven by audio research tube amps -- in case you might ever venture in that direction

good luck on your quest

@fastfreight I think you are right in identifying the root dull sound you heard from the SF Amati with the McIntosh electronics. Not a fan of the Mc house sound.   I heard the Amati with all Audio Research Reference electronics and a DCS Vivaldi stack, and they were definitely not dull.  I also agree the Vivid Giya series does have a warmth and what I term a sweet high end.  The Amati was warmer, darker, and did not image as well to my ears.  However, I believe there is a synergy between AR electronics and the Amati.  In my opinion, the Amati is reference quality but with a different tonal presentation than the Giya series.  No right or wrong, just different.  I preferred the Vivid take on reality.  Your G2s are even better than my G3s but alas their physical stature would have overwhelmed my small room and home.  I see you drive them with Audionet separates.  I heard the G1s driven that way at GTT Audio in their main room.  Phenomenal.  You’re a lucky man to have a such well designed room and system.
