Tidal vs ATC
They really are two different animals.Which goes to prove that speaker designers dont know what they're doing. A speaker needs to accurately reproduce a signal. If two speakers sound vastly different, at least one of 'em must be horrifically WRONG...

Hey Kenny, if everything speaker related sucks then why not find a different sandbox to liter?  If everyone at AudiogoN is so inept why are you here?  There are plenty of other forums for your pedigree. I'm qualified to be here since I am a genuin...

These seem a bit pricey $$$
Kenjit, my bookshelf speakers measure flat from below 30Hz up to 20kHz (in room).Using a Peerless HDS 6.5" in a ported box for the midbass.Thats not impressive. A devialet phantom can do far better than that in an even smaller box.
