New Giya Spirits in the house

[sbo6]

After a few trials and tribulations got these in recently and up to the audio room. So far, I'm liking what I'm hearing.

The first 2 key takeaways compared to the Giya G2 S2 is -

1) Much bigger and bolder sound.
2) Bass is more articulate and more accurate, more real.

I was worried about the bass overwhelming my room, but it seems to not be the case as my room is pretty well - damped with bass traps. Burn - in needs to occur + tweaking including measuring and adjusting the subs. Right now, and by ear the subs ended up much lower in output. So far, pretty addictive sound that needs work to get to the level of musical specificity, detail, dimensionality and frequency balance that I had with the G2 S2s. Much time is required. The journey, not the destination....

Congratulations on the G1 Spirits!
What is the size of your room?

 

[sbo6]

Thanks. My room is 16.75' wide that open to about 18.25' wide at the double doors x 19' deep by 9' high. Hopefully, next year if we build a new house it'll be much larger.

Stunning speakers - congrats. Worth mentioning that when I've been to the factory to listen to Vivid Giyas they angle them in a lot, i.e. crossing in front of the listening position. Might be worth experimenting with this.

Thanks I have heard about crossing in front. I tried it with the G1 S2s and I didn't like the sound, however, the tonality of the Spirits is very different so who knows...

Congrats on the new speakers. Wishing you many happy hours of listening!

I didn't like them that way; I ran mine with a very slight toe as they have wonderful dispersion.

They look great in your room. I’ll bet they sound great too. Happy listening!!

I'd say you've got them pretty dialed in now, Steven! The system sounds superb! Especially with the new Total DAC system!

Thanks Steve, I think you'll like the new vinyl playback also.
