A new listening experience
The KAYA 25 is a two-way speaker, with the alloy-coned C125D drive unit handling both bass and mid frequencies. Adopting a technology previously used only in the GIYA bass drivers, the driver is fitted with a radial rare-earth magnet, which ensures clean, transparent sound right to the top of its range. The laws of physics dictate that at the upper end of the frequency range, the sound becomes more focused and directional. To match this, the D26 tweeter is mounted in a shallow waveguide, ensuring that the sound field remains completely seamless. The effect is a compelling listening experience that holds your attention and draws you into the music: perfect for more concentrated listening, and enjoying music with nuance, depth and complexity.
A slimline profile with hidden depths
Although it’s a two-way system, KAYA 25 still benefits from the same patented Tapered Tube bass loading you’ll find in the larger members of the KAYA family, as well as Vivid Audio's more technically complex GIYA loudspeakers. The difference is that in KAYA 25, the exponential absorber horn is cleverly concealed in the stand. This gives the loudspeaker a slim, unobtrusive outline that finds its place effortlessly in almost any setting: indeed, the name KAYA is the Zulu word for ‘home’.
If the profile of KAYA 25 seems familiar, it may be because it recalls Vivid Audio's bestselling OVAL B1 Decade. They have always had it in mind to try wrapping the absorber horn into the OVAL stand, as it seemed such a logical development: with KAYA 25, They’ve finally done it – and it works beautifully. The result is bass reproduction with the same clarity and articulation as both the larger KAYA models and the GIYA loudspeakers: every note is perfectly distinct and free from blurring, so you get to enjoy it precisely as it was played.
