Thiel CS 3.7 vs Tidal Piano Cera

Larry, my sole criticism of your post was in the incorrect retail pricing that you provided. US pricing is a very fluid variable when it comes to foreign made products coupled with a change in distributorship which occurred last summer (well before your post with pricing information). Sound quality is something we should all debate, but I would not descibe it as a fact like retail price.

The Piano Cera provides two benefits over the Amea: (1) a more robust cabinet, and (2) better isolation of the crossover components. Additionally, the Cera has bass tuning and tweeter adjustability features. But yes Mike, I agree that for a stand mounted monitor there is nothing quite like the Amea.

The Tidal Piano Cera now retails between $24K and $28K depending on the finish according to their US dealer (The Voice That Is). Still expensive, but quite a bit less than stated. Larry, I agree with some of your criticisms, but get the facts right! I think the Piano Cera represents the best value in the Tidal line and is very price competetive. The base piano black finish is exceptional and I can't imagine paying the upcharge for the premium finish. I certainly love mine!
