Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident

Interesting if anyone had a chance to compare this great speakers!
I respect very much both of this companies.
I did AB comparisions between their amps and pre.
For my taste Gryphon Colosseum was better than Tidal Impact, but
Tidal Preos was better than Gryphon Mirage.
So now I want to get new speakers and going to compare Tidal Sunray with Gryphon Trident.
They are very much different.
Sunray is all ceramic drivers with dimond tweeter.
Trident is traditional but with 1000watt A/B class amp embedded for LF.
Any opinions?

You should consider adding Avalon and TAD to your speaker search. I would prefer those to Wilson, Rockport, and Magico. I'd like to hear the Tidal sometime, but $180k is heck-of-a-lot for a speaker that does bass.

Incidentally, I am skeptical that a company can make every component outstanding. I think good audio companies have a niche. Maybe Tidal and Gryphon are the exceptions, but one should keep an open mind when putting a system together.

Linkster, I need bass able to move my sofa:)
Rtn1, I agree with you! I'm also skeptical that a company can make every component outstanding.
For now I know that Gryphon has a great amp and Tidal great preamp. I'll test the rest.

I have heard both and to my ears Sunray is more accurate, more musical, more resolving, more true to the source and all around a better speaker.

Mike, thank you very much for your input.
Have you heard them in the same setup or different?

Murat on different setups but enough times to be able to make a comparison.

I would like to add that I am being very humble on my opinion on the Tidals cause I dont want to sound like I am exaggerating.

IMHO
