If you're referring to the Contriva Diacera, I think that is a pretty rare model (although I don't speak for Tidal). There are far more Contriva Diacera SE (at the expensive end) and base Contriva models. Again, only trying to eliminate confusion.
I would buy the Tidal Contriva any time. The Hansen Prince is a very good speaker but even the normal Tidal Contriva belongs to a different (much higher) class...
I'm starting to get suspicious here regarding why everyday someone just has to refresh a Tidal thread and pump this brand up. And it's the same people who keep replying saying they are the best in the world and in a higher class than brand X. It almost sounds like the Tidal website in every post - "the best at everything." And it just so happens that every new thread is started by a user who has just joined Audiogon and asking a out these super expensive speakers.
