Have you listened to the B1 Decade? I was told that the sound is up there with the Giya range..

Nebob...I have not but all reviews suggest the Decade is a major step from the B1 and rather special, what a pity that it is a limited edition model.

I don't have a choice of dealers unfortunately, being located in Singapore. Guess I should be happy with the G3 given its versatility for the smaller rooms found in my country. Land is really expensive here.

Just can't shake that niggling suspicion that I might be happier with the G2, given their cooler looks and possibly better bass.
Laurence Dickie told me the company had no plans to build something smaller in the Giya range than the G2 originally.
But then they had heavy demand from the far east, where seemingly space in apartments is limitied.
So he designed a G3, and eventually even a G4.

I'll hear the new B1 later this month.
