I don't have a problem with low bass, I just think it's difficult to impossible to have a speaker excel at everything. The ones that can play extremely loudly without distortion need stronger, heavier drivers that in my experience aren't as convincing on small scale acoustic music at low/mid volume. My Thiels are an example of a speaker that is incredible within their capabilities but they won't play anywhere near as loudly as the big ATCs will. Both speakers are very good at everything but definitely have areas where they are especially outstanding.
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.
