Floorstanding loudspeakers — Vivid KAYA 45

The KAYA 45 is a floorstanding loudspeaker from Vivid Audio, part of the more accessible KAYA series, built with notably high sensitivity into a demanding impedance. The KAYA 45 brings Vivid's considered engineering to an accessible floorstanding format.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 37Hz to 25,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Sensitivity is notably high at 89dB into a demanding 4 ohm load, with a wide recommended amplifier power range of 25-500W. At 115.3 x 29.8 x 38.5cm and 23.5kg, the KAYA 45 maintains a manageable, more accessible floorstanding footprint within the KAYA series.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally coherent, resonance-free character Vivid's broader distinctively contoured cabinet technology is celebrated for, delivered at a more accessible price tier than the flagship GIYA lineage.

Pairing

The demanding 4 ohm impedance combined with the wide 25-500W recommended range calls for capable amplification.

Alternatives

Vivid's own KAYA 90 offers a considerably more accomplished alternative within the same broader KAYA catalogue.
