I copied and pasted my answer in the Vivid thread:
Haven't heard the G3s, but compared the G1 and G2.
Sound was very similar, what can be expected because they share 3 drivers.
Woofers 11 and 9 inches: I didn't really notice a big difference in the tracks we played.
With 7.5 inch woofers you could expect the bass impact to be a little bit limited in the G3s.
I have heard Sophia, Sasha and Maxx 3.
Very good speakers but I chose Vivid for its transparency while remaining very "musical".
Magico is not my thing but it is possible that the set-ups I heard were not optimal - impressive and very expensive systems though.
Rockport I don't know, but I'm curious.
