Over the years, I’ve found myself comfortably settling in to a life with my Focus Audio FP60 BE speakers. Review speakers arrive, stay for a while, then go away, and when they leave, I’m generally very satisfied to go back to my Focuses. I relish the FP60 BEs’ relaxed, rich tonal balance -- it’s a sound I’m comfortable with. For the most part, I’m happy giving up a smidge of detail and clarity in exchange for their romantic richness.
But now I’m torn. I’ve enjoyed Vivid Audio’s Kaya 45s more than I have any speaker in recent memory. There’s no question in my mind that these are extremely special loudspeakers, and I don’t want them to leave. Their combination of solid, forward-thinking engineering, unique appearance, excellent finish, and stunning sound make them a standout product. If you’re shopping for a pair of speakers in the Kaya 45’s price range, I strongly suggest you listen to a pair.
