Tidal Speakers owners

It's been helpful for me, i'm going to see the sunray next week, let's see how it turns out,
Thanks for the information

only question is why so many "refernce" sunrays for sale this year? the truth is out...

Focalfan what is your opinion on the Sunrays? Have you heard them and if so what where your impressions?

argyro, please look at my other posts. to me, sunrays=hype.
i was a audiophile for many years. iheard/had good speakers, and not so good.heard the sunrays in the last 3 munich shows. i go every year. also heard contriva diacera.
better speaker then sunrays. more balanced.
the sunrays is not so well designed but nice finish.the sound is not natural, and the bass is slow and fat.many designers like the ceramic drivers. cheap, and easy to put in the cabinet.also measures are good. but sounds bad.
it is hard to say"refernce" when people sell them, and they don't sell.now even kharma move away from ceramic.now kharma makes good/great speakers! i also like new big sonus fabor,gamuts7,magico q5, and focal em line.

Focalfan, I think many of the Sunrays available are the result of changes in the US importer and Tidal dealers. I have heard these speakers and all that deters me is their price and size.

Your characterization of their sound was true in my hearing of them in the '10 CES, but absolutely not in the '11 CES. They reveal the electronics driving them and cabling. This is also true of the Contriva Diacera SEs, which I own. I hear none of the "characteristics of ceramic drivers" in my home or at the last CES with the Sunrays.

I have never been impressed with any of the Magico speakers and just cannot stand the Q5s at all. The Gamuts do impress me, but not enough to buy them.

However, I always believe that people's tastes, associated electronics, rooms, etc. make one person's opinions, even reviewers, irrelevant or at least demand the warning that this is only your or my experience.
