Tidal speakers... particulary Tidal Sunray

Hello all,

I've been reading about Tidal speakers and was curious if anyone ever heard the Tidal Sunray or perhaps any other of their speakers.

The Sunray has 2x7" ceramic mid ranges, a 1.2" diamond tweeter and 4x9" woofers per speaker.

Based on the reading/research I've done it appears that Tidal manages to use the advantages of ceramic/diamond drivers, being detailed, transparent and fast, but managed to control their drawbacks namely potentially dry, clinical and thin sounding.

I currently use the Marten Coltrane but the Tidal appears very interesting as upgrade.

Appeciate if anyone is able to give their views on this speaker based on a listening session and if you agree with the above sound.

Also your view of this speaker in comparison with eg. the Avalon Isis, Rockport Altair, Peak Consult Dragon and Magico M5 is appreciated.

Many many thanks

just added the tidal lpx active crossover... it is set @50hz and i'm getting an even better(as expected), faster and punchier bass now.
the unit is built like a tank, and its fit and finish are in the same vein as the rest of the tidal product line-- exquisite!

Ozy, I listened a pair of Sunray in Taiwan, with lpx active crossover, exactly like yours.
The owner took it to other audiophile's house for A/B test against Cello Grand Master.

Guess what? Most of people like Cello much more than Sunray, especially the extension in treble.

I have to say : I am very disappointed to Taiwan audiophiles' taste! They should attend live concert more often.

Quanmer---
i don't own the sunrays and lpx anymore, so it would be out of place for me to comment on them presently.

Ozy, I said "exactly like yours....." does that remind you something?
BTW, what's your next speaker after Sunray, I am so curious.
