Tidal Speakers owners

Tbg, How wide is the sweet spot on your speakers and what is the lead time to get a pair of Contriva Diacerra Se like yours and what is the retail price?

Husk01, I am getting a very wide sweet spot, but toe in and room treatments can greatly influence this. You may be alluding to my posting on using Murata supertweeters and getting a wider sound stage. I did notice later that the top end using them was harsh and that on removing them, I could get an equally wide sound stage both with further breakin of the speakers and with less toe in.

On your further questions, I learned today that Tidal is going to set up a Tidal US and distribute them here directly. This may influence both questions. Probably, however, the demand for these speakers may still be such that a month or two may pass before you get delivery after buying them.

Tbg, Thanks, is Aaudio the only current importer?

Kclone,

Thanks for that useful comment. I listen to jazz too. These days not much different to soft pop. If Piano Classic indeed outshines on pop/rock I would certain have them on short list. Could I ask whether you have done any direct comparison between the different Tidal speakers:

Piano Classic
Piano Cera or Diacera
Contriva Diacera SE (this is one I heard)

Ozy,

Thanks again - I see you have Sunray. Did you do much comparison between the different speakers in deciding for Sunary?

Luck Boy,

I would be very interested in your thoughts how Focal Scala compares with Tidal. Would you be doing a comparison? For your info, I was very impressed with Diablo. I instead got Cremona M for fuller sound. But Diablo's high was the best I had heard. When I listened to Scala I was surprised it outperformed Diablo in almost all aspects (if not all), and in total a much better pair of speakers than any other I heard at the time. Unfortunately I did not get Scala as my room art the time was very small.

I will carry amp to dealer to check out Tidal in the next couple of months. Will report back.
