Tidal Speakers owners

Audioblazer: No dog in the Tidal fight, but my experience is that speakers, esp. expensive and large models with shipping issues, are routinely discounted more than 35-40%. Not unusual to find well-regarded speakers, esp. the bigguns, reselling at minus 50% or more. So I'd say the ads are consistent with claims that Tidals are in fact "the best in the world"! John

Jdoris, tidal sun ray discounted 60-65% not 35-40%. is it common for big speakers to be discounted for more than 50% if its a couple of months old ?not too sure. Wilson maxx 2still selling for more than 50% retail price . Wilson maxx 3 even better resell value. Focal , Sonus faber Stradivari , Verity audio , enggleston , avalon , pretty gold 2nd hand value.

Audioblazer: my error, mistakenly read 35-40 as the discount, not the price. John

2 hours already, my Contriva Diacera SE has been set up and tried several toe-in angles.

First impression, it is in total different class from my original W/P 8, much taller, bigger soundstage, diamond tweeter bring more vivid / intimate music flow out from speakers. Can hear more detail, but not in Hifi;ish mode. Very coherent, definitely no fatigue at all especially using Ayre KX-R and MX-R.

Anyone knows where to download user manual or has copy to share with m?, I don't know what those accessories for?

Quanmer,

Take the plugs out of the ports in back and don't use the shorting plugs, especially don't use them between the binding posts. There are unmarked plugins on the back of the speaker for them, but don't use them. I don't expect you are talking about the speaker stands.

I have installed StillPoints Ultra Stainless Steel feet under my Contrivas with enormous improvement. Toe in for me is about 15ºs. Unless you bought a used pair, breakin is about 300 hours.
