Also when I placed my order for the Contriva G2, the Piano Diacera G2 did not yet exist as a product (I have previously owned the Piano Cera and later upgraded to the Piano Diacera). Had the G2 version of the Piano Diacera been available at the beginning of the year I may have been tempted to...
I thought the Rosewood was a bit too buzy looking. Was initially tempted to do the custom crossover, but found out that Tidal had not yet done this upgrade with the Contriva G2.
Tidal has informed my dealer (Doug White) that my Contriva G2 should ship next week. I ordered the standard crossover with a premium finish (hand stained African pyramided mahogany). This is great timing as my dedicated studio should be completed with the next two weeks!
What finish is that? I will be ordering the Contriva G2 later this week (stepping up from the Piano Diacera) and am not sure about the piano black laquer or the wood veneers. I will probably go for the upgraded crossover option (silver).
