Floorstanding loudspeakers — Vivid GIYA G3

The GIYA G3 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Vivid Audio, sitting below the GIYA G2 within the celebrated GIYA lineage, built with a comparatively modest sensitivity. The GIYA G3 brings Vivid's most storied engineering heritage to a substantial floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response spans an exceptionally wide 33Hz to 36,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 87dB into a comparatively benign 6 ohm load - somewhat lower than the GIYA G2's 89dB. Recommended amplifier power specified as under 800W, matching. At 116.1 x 34.1 x 57.8cm and 42kg, the GIYA G3 maintains a somewhat more compact footprint than the GIYA G2.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally coherent, resonance-free character Vivid's broader distinctively contoured cabinet technology is celebrated for, delivered through this somewhat more compact GIYA-lineage format.

Pairing

The comparatively benign 6 ohm impedance combined with the under-800W recommended power suits a broad range of amplification approaches.

Alternatives

Vivid's own GIYA G4 offers a more accessible alternative within the same broader GIYA catalogue.
