Physiks The Unicorn MKII On
live recordings, such as Harry Belafonte Returns to Carnegie
Hall [LSO 6007] or Chet Baker in Sweden [Dragon, DRLP 56],
stray footfalls, hands tapping soundboxes, and so on form a
continuous ambient seepage over the Unicorns. At the same time,
the reverberant field that constitutes hall ambiance is followed
down to the furthest |
Acapella LaCampanella"The Acapella LaCampanella is the best horn speaker I have experienced in memory. Never mind the LaCampella being a horn speaker, because they are one of the most differentiating in tonality among speakers I've used. Listening to music via the Acapella could drive a reviewer to retire, and I found myself listening harder to other speakers in constant search of a flamboyancy when the Acapella was taken out of the system." - by Constantine Soo September 3, 2005 |
Peak
Consult Empress"If
the standard is whether or not I would live with a speaker,
the Empress is about as highly recommended as they come...
...Would I buy 'em if I had $25 grand? Oh, heavens to Betsy,
yes. It wasn't love at first sight but I could listen to the
Empress for a lifetime." - Wes Phillips,Stereophile |
Kharma Ceramique 2.3"climb right into the venue of the music and watch the musicians perform. No other loudspeaker has done this for me. It is an extraordinary experience, way beyond the loudspeakers merely disappearing." - Enjoy the Music

TIDAL PIANO TIDAL Piano - our most successful loudspeaker. It reproduces extremely deep low frequency information and provides the listener with a characteristic mood and intensity that is absolutely breathtaking.
The TIDAL Piano provides the look and feel that will satisfy even the most discriminating designers taste. Piano review - John Potis, 6moons,com
These are finished as no other speaker I've
ever seen. What they produce is every bit as lovely as their appearance.
If you can afford them -- or even if you can't -- see if you can
arrange an audition. I haven't heard every great speaker in the
world but I'm convinced that the Piano deserves its place among
the very best. There's something very different about these Pianos,
something very special.
If I had to list my favorite aspects of the
Tidal Piano's performance in order of preference, I'd have a difficult
time deciding between its smooth well-balanced and fatigue-free
character -- to which you really can listen to all day -- and its
way with rhythm, timing and pace as it imbues music with a degree
of life and conviction that few other speakers do. The Pianos make
old recordings new and fun again and they really do have me discovering
my music collection. The Piano's combination of midrange articulation
and fine flowing dynamic expression is captivating. So smooth,
so revealing; so sophisticated and expressive of nuance - so utterly satisfying. |

about TidalWords alone cannot effectively describe the "TIDAL sound". Naturally, we could use objective descriptions such as "ruler-smooth frequency response", "ultra fast step response" and excessive adjectives like "neutrality" and "amazing soundstage". But we expect these qualities to be a successful by-product of accurate engineering stemming from our goal of reaching for perfection. However, accuracy alone does not touch the heart. A delicate balance between information & emotion must be struck for a perfect union. Excellent sound is not enough; music is the goal. This is the most successful Tidal loudspeaker to date. The piano gloss finish is stunning; easily the equal of the best piano finishes in the world. Filling larger rooms this is a true reference. We cannot stress enough that this falls into the must hear category, the design and quality of the finish is loved by everyone who sees them. They simply do nothing wrong, I have heard many speakers that excel in one are or another but have failings that are all too easily identified. The Piano's simply have no identifiable faults. They are an easy load to drive from an amplifier, they are not too large for domestic harmony, they image well have excellent timing; I could go on and on. Simply put they are a keeper!
