Tidal Speakers owners

Calloway,

I understand the excitement of waiting for new gear. But it can't be that bad if you are waiting while enjoying Piega c-40s;-)

...it would be great if i still had them but alas, they were sold.won't be long..

Calloway, be happy that you sold your other speakers. It took many months after I had the Tidals to sell my Acapella LaCompanellas.

I don't think I will be selling these speakers. Maybe those closing my estate will be.

Went back for second audition. This time Contriva not as impressive. The stand out vacal in first audition a few weeks ago was gone. Still very enjoyable but not much more special than any other high end pair. Dealer said he had optimized speaker position. More suited to classical music. Based on this, Scala (6 months ago) was clearly ahead - more intimate sound with tremendous soundstage. Will go back again August when Piano arrives with my amps.

Kw13,
could it be a change of placement or associated equipment that resulted in this change of opinions about the Contriva?
