Tidal Speakers owners

Maceear , thanks for your response. I suppose a review create an uncertainty for me about the bass fr diacera se. I suppose a 18 watter reviewer used is not good enough to produce the necessary bass. May I know your room size.

Audioblazer, the Contriva review in Audiobeat used Audio Research Ref.110, and Lamm M1.2 Ref.monos. Both put out around same 110watts into 8/4ohms--I think..

audioblazer, there are much better choices.

Audioblazer, My living room is about
Length 26.3 feet(8 mtr),
Width is 16.4 feet (5 mtr) and the
Height is 10.2 feet (3.1 mtr).
The bass goes very deep without the hill which some speakers have at around 80 to 100 Hz. It is fast and sounds natural and in phase with the music. I don’t have the idea that the impedance of the Contriva is going very low so the bass isn’t drawing too much juice from the amplifier. I did try a 2.5 watt SET and you can make music with it, but not at very loud levels…..
Regards Robert

audioblazer..i have the contriva diacera-se speaker and power them with monoblock SET amps and the bass is the most realistic bass i have heard. it does not overpower any of the other frequencies and is so natural.i listen to classical symphonies..heavy metal and most every other music genre..the tidal CDSE does everything perfectly...to me. i compared most of the speakers in the same price range before making my decision...as this purchase was going to be my last speaker ...so i wanted to get it as right as i could...i listened to the yg acoustic anat references ..magico q5 and lower models...wilson sashas'...marten coltrane's....accapella high violin.........and yes, focal speakers in the 'utopia' line..and others..and the tidals' just got everything right..they are considered among the best..for a very good reason...
