Tidal Speakers owners

Argyro, I agree. I have the BMC M1 amps and play them at somewhere in the range of 53-59 on their volume. Most others who have them place at no more than the 49, including on 86 db efficient speakers. What is the efficiency of the Contriva Diacera SEs? Is it in the low 80s?

Tbg, Jorn never disclose the technical spec. But by comparing to my previous speakers, my best guess is around 88 db.

Quanmer, that is what I was thinking, but the volume relative to the 86 db speakers suggests much lower.

Quanmer - Thanks for those kinds words. As I'm sure you saw in the neutrality thread, I'm generally an advocate of neutrality, which is to say an advocate of minimizing colorations, particularly certain kinds of colorations.

Of course, there are other considerations besides neutrality when assembling an audio system, and each person should make up his own mind about how to weigh them.

I am certainly interested in hearing Tidal's speakers. It doesn't look like they are going to be at the next RMAF, but maybe I'll hear them at a future CES, which I attend from time to time.

Happy listening.

Tbg, but it is more efficient than ATC 20SL, which is 83 db
