Tidal Speakers owners

Kclone, the RS meter's A and C setting "The weighting switch allows for switching between the standard 'A' and 'C' weightings. Choosing the 'C' weighting will make the meter respond uniformly over the frequency range from 32 - 10,000 Hz, and the 'A' weighting will make the meter more sensitive to frequencies in the range 500-10,000 Hz."

I did try both but found little difference. I would think C is the widest and is the normal listening range.

Stew nordost cables or any other "wrong" sounding component is not a good match with Tidals, experienced this as well with nordost!

Enjoy!

How much toe-in do you guys have? Tidal suggests in the manual that the optimum position is perpendicular to the back wall! Where do you think it sounds it's best? I am still experimenting with this, any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Happy Listening,

Hi Mike, I found my Contrivas (2nd gen) to sound best in what I would consider a medium damped room with a slight toe-in, so as to intersect just behind my head. distance from rear wall is 1.70m (with a sloping ceiling though) and 1.20m from side walls.

Hi Karel!

What were the differences you are noticing the more you toe in? To me the tonalty of the sound changes as well as the soundstage.

In my case the speaker is around 80cm from the side walls that is why right now I prefer to toe them in a lot, with the speakers crossing just behind me. I would say around 35 degrees of toe in.

When I have them perpendicular to the back wall i get a more expansive soundstage but the side wall interferes more.

the sound is also more dense with the toe-in I use!

happy listening,

Mike
