Hansen King V2 / TAD M1 / YG Studio Reference .
I would go for the TAD as my first choice with Hansen as a close second. I didn't like what I heard from YG in Munich High End Show this year... 
Tidal contriva se vs Hansen The Prince V2
I would buy the Tidal Contriva any time. The Hansen Prince is a very good speaker but even the normal Tidal Contriva belongs to a different (much higher) class... 
Multi Channel Pre Amp
I am using the Aaron Cineast No.22 as an analog multichannel preamplifier with excellent results. (Much better than using my Onkyo 875 as preamplifier).My power amplifier is the Primare A30.5 and the blu ray player is the Philips 9500 
Tidal Speakers owners
Very soon, Argyro will be a member of the Tidal owners family and I am next!!!! For all those people that do not have extensive listening experience with Tidal I have one thing to say. Tidal speakers are the end of the road. After that, you better... 
Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?
Murataltuev, I own one of the very good DACs, that is the Weiss Medea. But I know a couple of DACs that are much much better and maybe you should consider them for your comparisons. The first is the Stylos SYS HAD and the second (probably the best... 
Tidal speakers... particulary Tidal Sunray
Sorry guys but the Magico systems I heard in the High End Show were very mediocre comparing to Tidal on Sunday. Magico just sounded fake (especially the ones driven by the Soulution amplifiers, the other model driven by Spectral was slighlty bette... 
Tidal Amea Diacera fantastic speakers
The Piano Diacera (you can adjust it to be 2 way or 2 1/2 way like the Sunray) must be the right model for everyone that is looking for the coherence and the natural tibre of the Sunray but cannot afford it... 
TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they?
After the Tidal they were my number two favorite system in Munich's High End Show 2010. Everything else (YG, Magico, Hansen etc) was far behind those two systems 
Tidal speakers... particulary Tidal Sunray
Kops,I don't know why the performance of this system was not what it should be on Friday morning. Either the amplifiers needed some warm up After the aircondition operation through the night or the Argento cables needed some serious break in. I te... 
Tidal speakers... particulary Tidal Sunray
I agree with Argyro that the sound was not good on Friday. Having heard the Sunray before I found the Tidal system lacking resolution and it was sounding too boring in the first day of the Munich show. But when I listened to the same system two da... 
Tidal electronics...
My personal experience with a Tidal Contriva driven by a set of Wavac 805 SET monoblocks (Tidal Preos was the preamplifier) was that this combo was simply magic. There was no problem to play different kinds of music in normal listening levels. We ... 
Tidal electronics...
Tbg,no I have not. It will be an excellent source of information if you could try out some top amplification with your speakers. I would definetely try out the Tidal, Sovereign, Soulution, Edge And Gryphon amplifiers. 
Power Cable for Weiss DAC Medea
Try Argento Flow!!!! Excellent power cables. I use it in my Orpheus Dac One with excellent results. 
Tidal electronics...
I own the Sovereign Power and it is true that the binding posts accept bananas. But I managed to remove the protective plastic around them to use my Argento Flow speaker cable that have spades termination. Regarding amplification power I believe t... 
Tidal speakers... particulary Tidal Sunray
Ozy, are you considering adding the external active crossover in the future?
