Tidal Speakers owners

Johngp, unfortunately for a multitude of reasons, my Tidals are sitting and awaiting shipping to their new owner. Presently, I am using LSA1 Statements, a monitor speaker that costs less than $3000. These are what I use in my small room in our NM mountain house. Although they are an exceptional speaker for the money, they are not the Contriva Diacera SEs, especially on symphonic music.

The thread is alive again,

Photon46, congrats on the new purchase, it will be very enjoyable.

Johngp, i agree with bvdiman, i also would like to hear calloway's if i'm near, unfortunately i'm not.

Looks like Tidal is rolling out many new products this year. I am especially interested in the new Piano X-Tender's. Will be looking forward to hearing more.

Tbg,
Sorry to hear you sold your Contriva's. If you don't mind what was your reason for selling, just want to try another brand or upgrading to a higher model?

Bostonbean,
So how are you liking your Piano's now that you've owned them for a while? Any further thoughts on them?

Thank you.

Johngp, just this week I ordered a pair of the BMC Arcadia speakers. I had been using little LSA1 Statement speakers, such as I use in my small room in NM where I avoid Texas summer heat. Frankly, I miss my Contrivas, but the LSAs are very close. I had heard the Arcadias at CES in prototype and with no breakin before the show. I was struck by their dynamics early on and as they broke in, I was very impressed.

But they like the Contrivas are heavy and my listening room in Texas is on the second floor. I have to get movers to get the speakers into my room. With the LSAs, I can carry them into my room myself. I finally decided to go ahead with the Arcadias. This will probably be the last big speakers I buy.
