Tidal Speakers owners

Kw13, there is no answer to your question. Obviously, you have to make your own decision, but hearing them is a must.

They were a major stretch financially for me, but I heard them. If you look at the workmanship, the drivers and other components and realize that they have maintained effortless and extended sound using drivers that have many excellent characteristics but a notorious "ceramic driver sound" and a cabinet that just does not vibrate, you will reassess your "unreasonable" cost concern.

Listen to them as well as the many much more expensive speakers, and you will buy them.

The first time I heard them I didnt even know the name, of course no reviews and I opened the first Tidal thread here in Audiogon two years ago! I knew I had to buy this speaker from the very first minutes of my first audition!

Kind Regards,

Mike

Karelfd,

Thanks for your comments. I will certainly listen to them, as long as they are available for audition, as this will be freee. Thailand is listed as a location where they have distribution, and I hope they have stock.

Tbg,

Not sure what planet you're on. Much more expensive speakers? Much more than, what, 40-80K a pair? I know they exist but it's almost scandalous to suggest these prices are reasonable just because some other speakers ask for more. No wonder there are no reviews or marketing for these speakers, since they will only appeal to an absolute tiny fraction of the audiophile market, let alone general population of music lovers. For 80K, I could almost buy my dream car Nissan GTR, or a couple of BMW convertibles.

Mike,

That is great endorsement. If you earn a million+ a year and have no kids to support that would make sense. Otherwise I hope you're not sacrificing beyond sanity for a hobby.

Sorry I'm obviously ticked off as this price is out of reach for now even if I do find them worth it.

Kw13, sorry but I stick with my comments. Evidently you have not bought speakers recently. It is quite difficult to buy any decent speaker for below $30k and there are many above $100k.

Your being ticked off and $3 will buy a cup of coffee. I can understand both your reaction as well as why the price is high, but I can do nothing about either.
