Unless of course those other speakers were tipped up in the top end to give the impression of greater transparency.
Problem is that it is really hard to tell. All you can do is trust your ears and get whatever you like most, after a long home audition preferably. Having said that, the only component that i didn't extensively home demo before buying was......my Vivids. |

Thanks, Bart.
Yes, I'm CEO at a company active in 10 countries... have been travelling extensively. I'm now doing ~180 days-per-year business trips... And the Vivid system is not portable. So, I'm not using it that much. Glad to be back in AA, even if occasionally.

Looking at the stereophile measurements, the treble is shelved down above 7kHz at > 15 degrees of axis, so I suspect what I'm hearing is simply that. So it's most likely the impression of less transparency rather than less transparency in reality. If this is the Vivid's only vice it's minor and certainly nothing to worry about.

I've heard the G1s and always wanted to try them in my home, but I suspect they would have overpowered my room, which the G2 seems to suit perfectly.
How big is your room? IMHO that's the biggest concern when deciding between the G1 and G2 (well not the biggest, that's usually financial, but still… ;-)) |
