Tidal Speakers owners

Just wanted to give you lucky Tidal owners a heads-up, been enjoying this thread immensely.

..i have decided to buy the chalice audio 'talisman' amps i have been auditioning...what i hear with them is so amazing ...especially the mids and highs ...the soundstage and detail and depth of the sounstage is stunning..the music just floats in front of you....the image is perfect..surprisingly the bass is as good as the goldmund. i do have to turn the volume controls on my ' first sound ' preamp up 1-2 notches with every disc but am still in the 12:00 to 2:00 position at the most and most of the time still on the 8-10 position for most discs...if you go to their website ..chaliceaudio.com...they look ..exterior wise..exactly like the pictured 'grail' amps..they do not, however..have the full input chokes...never thought i would be a tube guy but this sound is to-die-for...even my wife noticed the significant improvement....the 25 watts ..easily drives the speakers..

That is great Calloway! One of my friend a trust a lot says the Chalice is probably the best valve amp out there. Whatever best means,...

The first sound preamp, that I have heard in my system, has a lot of gain thats probably why you dont have a problem with driving your speakers!

Although I am using a Wavac right now, which claims to be 55W, I have a problem with bass as my preamp has minimum gain and also my source has only 0.6V output.

Happy Listening, I am sure it a great choice!

Calloway, well they must be extraordinary. I think that I would look into the Ypsilon Aelius monoblocks before I bought the Chalice monoblocks. The Aeliuss are "only" $34k.

Argyro, the system you heard "Sunray's" you mentioned above.

What is the dimensions of the room + ceiling height.

How far away were you sitting.

How far are the speakers from the back wall, sides and between.

Reason I ask is that my designated room has set empty now for some time and I've been looking at potential set-ups. I have in another room MBL 101E's set-up that I love and will be keeping.
