Floorstanding loudspeakers — Vivid KAYA 25

The KAYA 25 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Vivid Audio, a well-established South African manufacturer known for distinctive tapered-tube driver-loading technology, built with a comparatively modest sensitivity. The KAYA 25 brings Vivid's considered engineering to an accessible floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 42Hz to 25,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is a comparatively modest 86dB into the standard 8 ohm load, with recommended amplifier power spanning 25-125W. At 116.0 x 26.3 x 34.0cm and 24kg, the KAYA 25 maintains a manageable floorstanding footprint reflecting Vivid's distinctive driver-loading engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally low-distortion, precisely engineered character Vivid's distinctive tapered-tube driver-loading technology is broadly known for, with the standard 8 ohm impedance suiting a wide range of amplification.

Pairing

The standard 8 ohm impedance and moderate 25-125W recommended range suit a broad selection of amplifiers.

Alternatives

Vivid's broader KAYA series offers alternatives at different scales within the same broader distinctive driver-loading engineering philosophy.
