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

Ozy, I said "exactly like yours....." does that remind you something?
BTW, what's your next speaker after Sunray, I am so curious.
Hi Ozy - am curious if/why you sold your Sunrays... ?
Would the Luxman 800 monoblock be adequate to drive the Sunrays ? Between that and Vitus monoblocks, any reccomendations anyone ?
Also a question to anyone who has experienced / or has an opinion on both the Sunrays and the Contriva Diacera SE s : Are the sunrays much more difficult (versus the CDSE) to place in a room because of the side firing woofers or is that myth ? Would one need much more expensive gear (especially power amps) to get near-optimal sound from a Sunray versus a CDSE ? Would a 10-20k USD pair of used transistor monoblock power amps on a CDSE sound better than the the same pair on a sunray because the sunray is unoptimized ? Would Guns and Roses or Led zeppelin sound better/worse/much better on a sunray (assuming 10-20k usd used transistor monoblock amps) versus a CDSE ? Would anyone contemplate a Sunray in their living room (listening area larger than normal bedrooms but entire size of living room 3 times the size of the listening area and mostly behind the listening area) or is it just much easier to place a CDSE versus the pick up in sound quality on the Sunray versus the CDSE ? Am sure classical music and voices will sound better on a Sunray but was concerned about punchy base dynamics and wondered if the visceral feeling of the piano cera and contriva diacera was as prevalent/less or more so i the Sunray... apologies - many questions. In short, am i going to get a meaningful quality of sound improvement for the wide range of music i hear (from classical to acoustic to rock and hard rock) i like to hear from the Sunray placed in a reasonably casual setting ?
