Tidal Speakers owners

kw13----
the tidal speakers are indeed quite amazing!. glad you had the chance to listen to them with familiar material.price and perceptions are one thing and bang for the buck is totally another. i'll be the last one to advise you or others how to spent their hard- earned money, but what you exprienced at your bangkok tidal dealer, is the real thing....

undoubtedly, you'll be able to find some excellent , well made speakers under $30k, but you'll always question and compare them to the tidals....and that , to me, is the bottom line....just my $0.02....

i heard the new jmlab focal scala at the last ces show in las vegas,with boulder electronics-- fantastic sound!
a few years ago i owned the nova utopia be,(and progressed to the grand utopia be later on), so i'm familiar with jmlab's sound and appraoch. they have certainly pushed the envelope with their latest offerings.... but than there's tidal, which , in my expereince, has gone further then most speakers out there in reproducing sound ever so accurately, both in timber and texture.again ,just my prospective.....

i have not had a chance to hear any of the tidal speakers prior to getting my sunrays. i bought them ""blindly", on faith, if you will.
i later learned that out of the 23-25 sunrays out there , most owners bought them without ever listening to them. no one has ever returned them back........:~))).
i also considerd at the time the lansche 8.1, the jmlab gu em,eggleston savoy,and the rockport arrakis.(not necessarly in this order of priority).
to me, the sunrays offer all of the above's attributes and much more.

the T-1 sub towers are only availble as part of tidal's T-1 flagship set up which includes the sunrays, t-1 towers ,silver crossover and capacitors, and the lpx active cross over.
higherfi's numbers are outdated. the T-1 system's price is now a cool $260k. and btw,the current and up to- date tidal usa price list is avialble from tidal- audio.de for the asking.

it's my understanding ,that the previous import prices in the usa were skewed and not in par with the rest of the world's. the current usa price list(which is available from tidal-audio.de) is more in line with the rest of the tidal importing community, and lower than previously advertised.
imho, whether tidal is a 40 points line or a other margin numbers is secondary. everyone is entitled to make a living and cover their expenses,and generate a profit, witihn reason , of course.and the main point ,which you hit on the nail squarely, is tidal's performance! it is indeed a stunning acheivment in music reproduction, period.

the beauty of our hobby, is that there are so many great options out there to pick from. tidal may not be your cup -of tea, and we "tidalists" will all respect it fully.
whatever you choose ,enjoy it!

the jm lab scalas were one of the best sounds of 2010 ces. paired with boulder amps and pre, they sounded glorious, only second, though to the tidal contrivas......at least to my ears.

either way, you can't go wrong with either one, budget permmittng ,of course.

the room that i attended and refered to had the boulder amps preamp , emm's new cd player and the jm lab/ focal maestro speakers. it was on the 36 or 37th floor of the venetian, if my memory serves me correctly.
