Employing the same custom tweeter and core technologies that define Vivid Audio’s flagship, floorstanding Giya G1, the petite Kaya S12 has brains to go with its beauty, a combination which proves seductive for Andrew Everard in December’s Hi Fi News. He says: “there’s a definite sense of ‘hi-fi as a work of art’ going on here…these unusual and remarkable speakers can do everything from the massive to the minute with equal excellence. The Kaya S12s are remarkably capable in hi-fi terms, delivering a sound of uncommon scale and resolution. Yes, you may be paying for the initial impact of the style, and the innovative technology, but you’re really going to enjoy the ride!”
