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?

@calloway  Very kind of you. Thanks.

Thats awesome that you love those speakers. There actually a couple used ones that popped up for around $20k mark. I bet a steal at that price for that speaker.

Did you get a chance to compare your diaceras to the G2s or current gen Tidal?

Actually I have. I spent a few days at the USA distributors home last Summer. I had a chance to listen to the G2 and Akita Tidal speakers. The G2 is great but.. as I said.. my Contrivas are so good that they will be my last speakers... happily... if you have a chance to buy a used pair of Contrivas .. that would be a great price if in great condition.

I would certainly get in touch with Doug White at ‘thevoicethatis.com’ ...and talk with him about Tidal speakers. He is incredibly knowledgeable about them and all things audio.
