Tidal vs ATC

Thinking about my end game speaker and seriously considering one from either brand. On the Tidal camp looking at either the Contriva G2 or Agoria and on the ATC camp the SCM150 or SCM300.
Any thoughts on this battle? The tidal I know is a truly amazing speaker. The contriva g2 is the best I've heard and has an amazing finish.  But I see insane praise from ATC for being a very accurate and extremely well made speaker. Only issue is I have no local dealers for ATC in canada. Maybe after the pandemic is over I'll fly to USA to hear them... but honestly even that makes me a bit nervous with all this going on.
Any thoughts?

roxy54 is likely referring to the ATC SCM 19A at 7K which is the smaller brother to my ATC SCM 40A.  As I've stated here several times, I'm mystified that more do not seriously consider active speakers.  

The cost argument is rendered moot when amplification and speaker cables are eliminated.

The immediacy, dynamics, timbre and slam are shockingly good.  Hope your results are satisfying.
