The B1 uses 4 drivers and the K1 uses six drivers compared to the Giya's 5. They all use pretty much the same drivers and the enclosures can't cost that much more to manufacture.
I believe Vivid has made several attempts to improve on the Oval series over the years , without success however. This should be very interesting then.
