Could you please write your impressions about the Tidal speakers you currently own ? I will probably buy the Tidal Piano Cera in the near future so I would appreciate your feedback...
Argyro and Kclone, if we are purely talking about actual SPLs, which I hope, the human ear can be ruled out. If we are talking about what we hear, all bets are off.
I was talking about actual SPL, I use a meter and like I said one recording sounded quiet and dull at 75-83 and the other one sounded plenty loud at the same SPL range on the meter. For the record, I use a Iphone app. called Studio Six Digital SPL meter.
I was using the Sonus Faber Electa Amator II's. A very nice speaker in their day; they are a small monitor and really it would not be fair to compare them to the really wonderful Piano Cera's. The Pianos' are beautiful, so balanced, neutral. It seems there is no distortion, well, none that I can detect. I am so thrilled with them.
TBG, shouldn't you have the sound meter in the A position instead of C? I had mine on C and that is the reason some recordings were sounding quit at the same decibel levels as perceived louder recordings. I switched to A and it turns out I can turn the quiet ones up some and still be in the safe zone.
