Tidal Speakers owners

The black drivers are close enough in performance to the white ones such that they can be swapped in without any crossover changes. It is my understanding that there is a small performance gain. The Sunray has always used the black drivers so it it not a question if they are newer, Tidal simply decided to employ them in the rest of their designs.

Jorn implies, if I am not mistaken, that black drivers are a tad better. I dont know how much though and under what optimum circumstances this is noticable. Owners of speakears with white drivers can upgrade at a cost around 2000$.

Geopolitis, you seem very enthusiastic about Sovereign amplifiers. Can you kindly tell me more about them? Sorry to digress from this thread.

I believe that they are excellent value for money amplifiers (even though they are still expensive) and definitely a worthy match with Tidal speakers. It is an fine alternative for the people that cannot afford Tidal electronics.For example I have not read any reviews about the Sovereign preamplifier but it is one of the very few preamplifiers I would consider as an alternative to a Tidal Preos... Of course Preos is a better preamp if your priotity is the absolute neutrality.... But that comes with a higher cost....
