Review: Tidal Sunray Speaker
Category: Speakers
Hi! My name is Björn and I am a storemanager at HifiConsult in Gothenborg, Sweden.
I don't know where to put this review so perhaps you can place it where it belongs.
I visited Munich High End Show, 6-9 of May 2010.
I would like to share an amazing experience of sound. All the great brands where there. For example Focal, YG accustics, Kharma, MBL, Burmester, Gryphon, TAD and Tidal.
After I had been listening a several times on each brand for 4 days I came to the conclusion that they all sound very good but it was one special brand that I fell for, Tidal.
Me and my partners visited Tidals room a several times and we were spellbound by the sound. If I would try to describe their sound I would say that they sounded like it was a live performance. They where open and airy without being harsh.
Tidal uses a diamond tweeter which sometimes can have a harsh and cold sound. They are using Thil and partners ceramic midrange and woofer and they can also be a little hard and cold. Thoe in this case the sound was warm and soft and incrediable natural.
They played all kinds of music using an Esoteric Cd-player, a computer and a recordplayer (I didn't recall the brand).
They had done some accustic treatment to the room.
Each time we visited the room we got a new experince depending on which music they were playing. They where playing all kinds of music such as Sting, Rodger Waters, Pink Floyd, Swedish psalms, Jazz, Nils Loftgren and Techno. When we were listening to the music I got goosebumps and sometimes I almost started to cry.
I have been working with Hifi for over 30 years. The last 10 I have been working with High End stuff. I have never experienced anything like Tidal.
The quality of the craftmanship is astonishing.
If you have a store near you that sells Tidal, go there and listen immediately!
You won't be disappointed.
I have already made up my mind. I am going to save my money, sell some of my Hifistuff and buy a pair of Tidal Centriva Diacera in Bobinga wood.
They will take me to Hifi heaven.
(Ps. Thanks to the fantastic man who really enjoyed demostrating the gear. He almost danced. Ds.)
As a parenthesis:
All the showrooms at the Munich Show looks the same and is in the same size so it won't affect the sound.
