Tidal vs ATC

Since this thread is active again I'd like to state that the ATC150asl is back on top. Driving them with Innous Zen mk2 and Roon with Acourate convolution filters and a Matrix dac made it! (recommended for any big speaker). The response is flat to 17 Hz or something. So maybe the 300's next time...however my adviser has a lot of praise for Revel Salon 2 and Paradigm 9H...but then I would miss the impact of the 15 inch driver..

smodtactical, thank you for keeping the shopping radar running for me; I think that was your intent. However, $50K is still way out of my budget for speakers. 

@gosta Nice. Guessing the ATC is the better speaker over those but of course would love to do a shootout. The 9H is pretty solid for the money and with the room measurement feature and active bass drivers its low end is very nice.
Have you considered Tidal?
@douglas_schroeder  Fair enough. I'd love to hear the Valor!

my 2 cents

i don’t know tidal speakers

but have lived with (and still keep) atc active scm 10’s and 20’s

they are wonderful, incredibly well engineered speakers... alot of what has been said is true - they are very neutral fast and revealing, no helpful colorations so bad recordings sound bad... i paired with a top balanced tube linestage and source to add warmth and it made them much more enjoyable - they also imaged better with tubes

they can play very loud but also sound good playing soft

their inherent personalities are a bit cool, i listen to alot of british monitor speakers and many of them, esp. bbc lineage ones, have lossy cabinets that provide some body and resonance to the music, which often makes acoustic instruments and voice sound more natural - atc does not have this

The vimberg is the sister company and a reviewer said its 90 percent of the tidal at m7ch less $$
