Tidal Speakers owners

Argyro, you would if you spent many summers in Texas summer heat and humidity and tried Grado headphones last year. All they did was to put me to sleep.

Tbg, How wide is the sweet spot on your speakers and what is the lead time to get a pair of Contriva Diacerra Se like yours and what is the retail price?

Husk01, I am getting a very wide sweet spot, but toe in and room treatments can greatly influence this. You may be alluding to my posting on using Murata supertweeters and getting a wider sound stage. I did notice later that the top end using them was harsh and that on removing them, I could get an equally wide sound stage both with further breakin of the speakers and with less toe in.

On your further questions, I learned today that Tidal is going to set up a Tidal US and distribute them here directly. This may influence both questions. Probably, however, the demand for these speakers may still be such that a month or two may pass before you get delivery after buying them.

Tbg, Thanks, is Aaudio the only current importer?

Kclone,

Thanks for that useful comment. I listen to jazz too. These days not much different to soft pop. If Piano Classic indeed outshines on pop/rock I would certain have them on short list. Could I ask whether you have done any direct comparison between the different Tidal speakers:

Piano Classic
Piano Cera or Diacera
Contriva Diacera SE (this is one I heard)

Ozy,

Thanks again - I see you have Sunray. Did you do much comparison between the different speakers in deciding for Sunary?

Luck Boy,

I would be very interested in your thoughts how Focal Scala compares with Tidal. Would you be doing a comparison? For your info, I was very impressed with Diablo. I instead got Cremona M for fuller sound. But Diablo's high was the best I had heard. When I listened to Scala I was surprised it outperformed Diablo in almost all aspects (if not all), and in total a much better pair of speakers than any other I heard at the time. Unfortunately I did not get Scala as my room art the time was very small.

I will carry amp to dealer to check out Tidal in the next couple of months. Will report back.
