That is correct Lloyd.
No I have not. I am very familiar with the Contriva Diacera though, the former model that I liked a lot. So I do not know how 'big' they sound and whether they can compete with the large four box systems like eg my Genesis 1.1 loudspeakers. Probably I will give them a listen in the near future when I will audition the Tidal La Assoluta speakers. Of course the latter will play at a completely different level. Btw, the Tidal LA can (also) be ordered with their (own) X-tenders (or woofer towers if you will). Saw pictures of the Tidal LA X-tenders and they look very impressive indeed.
A whole lot of system in a small space. Ooofda...

Spot on !I notice inter alia Tidal and Trinity. Am I wrong to conclude that this is the (private) system of the editor of the (Hong Kong) magazine Audio Technique?
Very happy to day with the arrival of my Contriva G2.
Right out of the box it plays amazingly well. Much better than my Tidal Piano Cera. Can't imagine it after burned in.

As always they look beautiful. What kind of wood did you opt for? I am glad to read that the Tidal contriva G2 sounds 'right out of the box' already impressive. But I believe I already predicted this in one of my earlier comments. And you (indeed) better believe it: they will get a whole lot better. My Tidal LA's are still improving after about 400 hours. So congrats and enjoy!
