Tidal Speakers owners

Quanmer, sorry can't comment much on friends' rigs (or else i'll be shown doors the next time I visit ;p), except to say that two of my favorite set-ups are *using Tidal speakers, and the other, *full FMA system.

As to your latter question, I will simplify here in order to convey just its essence. At most times during my listening sessions, the Magicos had me transfixed in seat subconsciously analyzing music/recordings (impressive in audiophile sense). Whereas, the Tidal let me sit back, relax and devour them (immersive in music lover ways). Both could be great, depending on moods.

Sorry if I insist ....... but I know that differences found between the
contrivas and focal maestro?
Hello everyone.

Ciro71 with the right associated equipment Tidals Sound pretty much like "nothing at all"! To my ears the Maestros sound artificially "thicker" in all regions! Tidals sound more elegant, less distorted I don't know how else to explain!

Happy Listening,

Mike

Ciro71, "what could be in the contrivas
more of the focal maerstro"?

Tidal is like Bvdiman said : immersive in music lover ways. Many speakers can give you WOW factor when you first time listen to them, but Tidal is musically superior than most speakers I have ever heard. Don't get me wrong, Tidal provides very high micro detail as well, not "blur" type of musical. Yet it can present the music in gentle and poised way.

It is hard to describe, it's better you can hear by yourself. You can spend only one minute to feel immediate "suck in" music feeling by Tidal. Other than that, it depends on everyone's taste of sonic signature.

I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to devolve into the mine is bigger than yours nonsense. There is no consensus about anything in audio. Only a full-blown GoTo five way compression driver system ever impressed me more than the Tidals, especially with Ypsilon electronics. Even then it did not image nearly as well and occupies an enormous space. Again, YMMV.
