Tidal Speakers owners

charles...the chalice audio 'talisman' set gives me the BEST musical experience i have ever heard in an audio system...it is truely amazing. i had a friend ..an audiophile...over last sunday to listen to the system. he had been over a month or so prior...to the goldmund driven sound...and after 10 seconds of the 'talisman' sound could not believe the improvement. he stated the same thing that it was the most lifelike musically sounding system he had heard.i can't imagine what it would sound like with chalice's 'grail' amps powering the tidals...the 25 watt 'talisman' is great...but the 50 watt ..full input choke 'grails ..would be unbelievable...pres edmunds..he of chalice audio...has told me that my amps could be upgraded to about 80% of the 'grails' which i may, at sometime in the future , have done...if you are, even the least bit interested in hearing how good the tidals can sound with these amps you are more then welcome to come and hear them..it really is a great sound...i am having a new entertainment center specially built for the system that should be ready in january and will be re-carpeting the room at that time also...can't wait...dave

Calloway,
Thanks for the very kind invitation to hear your wonderful system. I had the pleasure of hearing the Tidals driven by Ysilon electronics for a good 45 -50 minutes at this year`s CES . The sound was some of the very best I heard at the show.I just feel however that the Chalice amplifier is exceptional and would allow the Tidals to preform at a supreme level.

My mistake meant Ypsilon.

The TIDAL Sunray...
Its been a revolutionary experience for me so far. Right now, I’m running them on an old Klimo tube preamp and monoblocks which have a rated output of 50Watts. Still the speakers are surprising me. Exhilarating. My earlier set-up consisted of a Soulution Amp and a Lyra Connoisseur preamp running through Bertram interconnects. Before the speakers could give results I did 15 laborious days of break-in. The result – simply awe inspiring. The imaging was spot on, the highs were effortless, the mids were prominent, and the bass punchy. I was rediscovering my collection all over again.
Tweaking the placement of the speakers further and playing with the high pass crossover plug got me better results. The image could well be perceived to be 3-dimensional. The tonality is neutral and sweet at the same time. These speakers just keep dropping surprises every time I play a new CD. Norah Jones sounded as husky as ever, Mark Knopfler, I got to know through the sound, is a tall fellow. It all sounds so natural, so basic, and so analogue. Simply beautiful.
I’ve come to believe in Tidal products even more and now, to get the best possible synchrony from the system I have now ordered a couple of Tidal Impact amplifiers with LPX and also going for Tidal Presencio Preamp.
I’ve been enjoying music at a new level with the Sunrays, and I know, they can still push the envelope further with all Tidal Amps + Preamp + LPX and then just music, just like Audio Nirvana.
Thanks Jörn to fulfil my dream.

Dear Pramod, even from a distance of some 9,000 km, I think I can relate to the joy and excitement you describe. And "it" will happen again each time you'll listen to your system, correction: to the real people performing real music by means of your system; you'll find yourself immersed in music and utterly involved with the artist's emotional expression. Blissful.
Enjoy, my friend!
