I own Bliss Hifi, a high-end audio boutique and authorized Vivid Audio dealer, and these Vivid Audio Giya G1 Spirit Floor Standing Speakers are being listed as a consignment sale. The speakers are finished in the pearl white option, which is quite beautiful in ways pictures cannot do justice. The speakers are in perfect working order, but there are visible cosmetic issues, all on one speaker. While they are noticeable from some angles more than others, the speakers still present beautifully overall and sound absolutely stellar. Please see photos for details. I can also send videos upon request.

The speakers come with the external crossover feature, which is lovely as it provides the opportunity to switch cables very easily, further isolate the crossovers for a lower noise floor, free up the cabinet resulting in less resonance, and also allowing to bypass the crossovers completely if you want to control the speakers with DSP. Grilles (not pictured, but in perfect shape) and footers and spikes (also not pictured) also come with the speakers. The Spirits will ship via freight in their custom crates.

A few options are available as add-ons with these speakers.

Professional Repainting – I have a relationship with a professional painter who specializes automotive body work. We are able to offer you the ability to professionally repaint the speakers in any PPG color that you’d like for $5,000. This includes the effort of removing all drivers from the cabinets (not easy with the sandwiched woofers), transporting them to the paint shop, sealing all holes, getting them repainted, transporting them back, and reassembling the speakers.

Fresh Crossovers – We can source brand new external crossovers if desired as the distributor still has a pair. There’s nothing wrong with the crossovers as they stand aside from cosmetic wear on their chassis, but I know some folks prefer peace of mind, and in this case new crossovers would last you decades.

As an authorized Vivid Audio dealer, the G1 Spirits are the best speakers I have had on my own showroom floor and a personal reference. Despite their high ticket price, they still outperform many ultra high end speakers costing twice or three times the price. They are one of the best speakers to have ever been made, bar none. They are not very difficult to drive and have a sensitivity of 91.5dB at 4 Ohm, with its lowest dip being 2.8 Ohm at 20Hz. This makes them an excellent candidate even for modest high current tube amplifiers.

Check my stellar feedback and buy with confidence. This listing includes palletized freight shipping and insurance across the CONUS at no cost. I can accept credit card payments through my QuickBooks invoicing system or PayPal Goods and Services with a 3.1% convenience fee. I would prefer fee-free payments, which include ACH over QuickBooks Invoicing, PayPal F&F, cashier’s check, and personal check (has to clear prior to shipping).

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your consideration.

More about the unit:
Experience loudspeaker engineering liberated from the constraints of the conventional box with the Vivid Audio Giya G1 Spirit, the flagship creation of Laurence Dickie—the legendary designer responsible for the iconic Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus, arguably the most influential loudspeaker of the modern era. The Spirit represents the culmination of Dickie’s lifelong obsession with eliminating cabinet-induced coloration, employing a continuously curved enclosure fabricated from vacuum-infused glass-reinforced composite with an end-grain balsa core—a construction so light yet rigid that the 180-liter cabinet weighs under 70 kilograms despite standing over five feet tall. Every driver is loaded by Vivid’s patented Tapered Tube technology, with logarithmically tapered subenclosures hidden within the organic form that absorb rear-wave energy across the entire frequency spectrum, eliminating the resonances that plague conventional designs. The five proprietary drivers—all designed and assembled in-house—feature aluminum-alloy diaphragms with catenary-profile domes (the mathematically optimal shape discovered through finite element analysis, pushing first breakup modes well above the audible range), while twin opposed woofers employ Vivid’s Reaction Cancelling Compliant Mount that mechanically links them to neutralize cabinet vibration. Reviewers describe the Spirit as capable of playing “louder and freer than anything” they’ve heard, with one noting it could “go places no other speaker would dare go”—delivering the majesty and scale of any music with all its texture and detail intact.

The G1 Spirit operates as a true four-way system with crossover points at 220Hz, 800Hz, and 3.5kHz, featuring twin 12-inch C225-100 woofers with 100mm voice coils capable of handling 600 watts each, a C125-75 lower midrange driver with an unusual 75mm voice coil and carbon fiber reinforcement rings, and D50/D26 catenary domes for upper midrange and treble duties. Frequency response extends from 25Hz to 36kHz at -6dB, with sensitivity rated at 92dB (2.83V/1m) and a nominal 6-ohm impedance that dips to 3 ohms minimum—an easy load for quality amplification despite the speaker’s prodigious 1600-watt power handling capability. The external crossover, housed in a separate enclosure of matching composite construction, connects via a thick umbilical cable and removes additional resonance-inducing components from the main cabinet. Each speaker measures 63 inches tall by 17.5 inches wide by 32.5 inches deep and weighs 176.4 pounds, available in Piano Black, Lexus Pearl White, or Oyster Grey Matte standard finishes with bespoke custom colors available at additional cost. What reviewers consistently celebrate is the Spirit’s “simply magnificent transparency”—a resolving capability so groundbreaking that it makes dissecting differences between upstream electronics effortless, allowing the fourth wall between listener and performance to disappear entirely.
