Tidal Speakers owners Thanks Linkster that is great endorsement and reassurance. Unfortunately nothing I could share. Still awaiting for my PiaDia. Timeline has overshot earlier indications by some margin. Santa did not deliver this time. But trust not too long to go. | |
Tidal Speakers owners Bostonbean,Thanks, look forward to having them home.Linkster,How are your Piano D coming along?Adstew,Space a premium too here. My pair will be in living room. Hiding all electronics inside enclosed shelves for WAF (among other considerations). Li... | |
Tidal Speakers owners Been a while since I was last here. Finally got my act together. Have ordered a pair of Tidal Piano. Will be getting them in Dec. Hopefully before Xmas as I would be away. Look forward to exchanging tips with everyone soon. | |
Tidal Speakers owners Tbg,Yes Focal Scala. Tweeters on these are to behold too. | |
Tidal Speakers owners Luckyboy,Yes I listened to Piano Diacera. If I had to decide today, I would rank my listening experience equally between Scala and Contriva Diacera with Piano Diacera as some way behind. I have heard Scala on 3 separate occasions. First was the be... | |
Tidal Speakers owners Bvdiman,Perhaps you're right which would make speakers very sensitive to positioning. Music was still very good but not memorable. First audition tho was and lingers. Went back to listen to Piano this time. Finally had arrived. Burned in with I be... | |
Tidal Speakers owners Colloway, congrats! Would b interested to read your thoughts in a few weeks too. Often I marvel at the improvement after an upgrade and wonder whether this was it, only to upgrade again in a while. Is this euphoria or not? Suspect you will not kno... | |
Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Mert/Nolitan,Went back again yesterday after 2 weeks burn in. Set up identical - accuphase sacd player with accuphase pre amp and monoblocs (I think 160W). Took same discs. A colleague also joined us.Once again I was disappointed. Wife and friend ... | |

Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Listened to Scala yesterday. But only 50hrs use. Was not near the level we experienced previously. Sound lacked focus and background not very quiet. For Scala owners, did you experience this during break in? | |
Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Elviukai,Thanks, that is a lot of air time you've had with these speakers. Sounds like you work in the industry to have priviliged with so many fine speakers. While I see what you mean, I don't quite agree. Personally when I listen to music I want... | |
Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Mert,Yes eventually amp budget will have to follow speakers. But one step at a time. :). Also will take my amp to check and make sure they could make something out of scala. I will not get scala without proof they r agreeable with 80w of naim powe... | |
Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Mert,Thanks, that's encouraging. I heard Scala only once and immediately thought it was ahead of every other speakers I had heard up to that point. (I only listen to speakers generally below US$40K. I have heard a few around 100K+ but didn't think... | |
Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Mert, So have you formed a definitive view about scalas yet?Others, what is your latest view?Thanks. | |
Tidal Speakers owners All,The key awe inspiring feature in my first audition was the complete cut out of vocal from the fabric of music. It was as tho there was a separate center speaker a few feet forward from the main speakers blasting away merrily on its own. I love... |
