Tidal Speakers owners

You can check out my StereoTimes review and see a picture of them under the Contrivas.

They are pricy. I know of several dealers, but don't know about any discounts. You would need eight of them.

Calloway, both the shorting wires and the port plugs are to deal with some rooms. I tried both but have a large room so YMMV, but by all means try removing them.

Tbg and Calloway, I tried different combination, shorting wires don't stay, but port plugs does make my bass tighter, I keep them in. Maybe after I put Stillpoints SS feet, I will try them again.

Tbg, do I have to order optional threaded adapters for Contriva?

Quanmer, yes, you need M8s to go into the Contrivas and 1/4" 20s for the Ultras. StillPoints has them. There are many threaded holes on the bottom of the Contrivas. I used those closest to the corners of the speakers. I don't know whether it makes any difference, but it gives the widest stance for greatest stability. Of course, you need to take the Tidal provided stand off. There is a centered threader hole in the back of the speakers so you could save some money putting three Ultras under each speaker. I was told, however, that four sounds better. I have tried this under my amp. Four do sound better than three. I have a real clue as to why-greater isolation I guess.

I don't know whether StillPoints has representation in Taiwan.

You should wait the burn in period until the sound of your speaker settles down, cause it is going to change quite a bit and then do the tweaking you are thinking about!

IMHO
