Tidal vs ATC

I have no experience with Tidal. I do have experience with ATC, but it’s limited to their smallest (and passive) professional monitor, the SCM12 Pro's. So my comment may or may not be relevant to this thread.

But here’s the thing: I’ve had 4-5 powered and/or passive speakers in this nearfield listening system (home office) with electronics that are well above average. And the ATCs are orders of magnitude above anything else I’ve heard. When I first got them, paired with a big class D amp (Wyred4Sound ST-500), they blew the roof off this place, not just in volume, but dynamics. tonal/timbral realism, mid-bass, and top to bottom believability.

Here’s the other thing: they sound extremely good at low volume. It may be a revelation when they’re cranked, but they give me the same crystal-clean window into music at low volume as high. This has not be true to this extent with anything else I tried.

FYI, I’m very brightness-averse, so was kind of stunned to like these so much. They might be accurate and detailed, but they’re also quite musical. If I was looking for big $$ speakers, active ATCs would be high on my list.

The winning speaker at the June 2019 Scottsdale Speakerfest was the passive ATC SCM40. It was driven by the ATC CDA2 CD Preamp DAC (playing both CDs and music files from an Apple laptop) into the ATC P1 stereo amplifier. The speakers were placed on AV Room Service EVP isolation pads.

 Tuff choice but Tekton
is not in the same league 
  Let's get that right 

vinylvalet,
I was there and I thought it was the best by far too. And that is far from their best speaker!

You know whats on my mind. Tidal Sunray G1... sometimes they have prior gen ones out there for cheap. When I move to my bigger listening space this would be a very compelling option like at a massively reduced price from msrp.
@sedgewick7 The sunray would be a good opponent to your mighty SCM300! :)
