Default Giyas!
Anyone care to hazard a guess on the number of Giyas that have been sold? I don't know of too many audiophiles who have a pair.

When I bought a pair beginning of 2012 - they were released a couple of months before - about 30 pairs of G2 Giyas had been sold already, mostly in the Far East.
That was before the favourable reviews of the G2s.

The G3s are the best selling Giyas.

I was told by Vivid about a thousand total Giyas. Wonder how that breaks down by region? According to Bart most go to Far East and more G3s than G1 or G2. My guess would be 500 Far East, 250 Europe 150 US. Sent from my iPhone using A.Aficionado

You don't like the G2's?

I think they are great speakers. But I won't be able to keep them due to my changing circumstances.

I'll have to audition some Vivids the next time I'm near a dealer. I have been reading great things about these speakers, very musical. It will be fun to hear a pair.

I love my B1's. The only way i would part with them is an upgrade to Giyas. Where is the for sale section?
