Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident

I listened to the Kawero (and had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Mr. Weber) at RMAF in 2008. The Kawero was in a large room, and I can assure you it is a full range speaker with more than enough bass to energize even a large space. It was, for me, one of the best musical experiences I heard in 2008.
I could have listened to their system all day.

Mr. Weber was one of the nicest and most interesting people I met that year.

Having heard the Tidal Contriva Dicera SEs last year at both the RMAF and CES, I bought them and now have them settled in. I still find them the best speakers I have heard.

I heard the Kaweros last year and had no interest in them and I also heard the Tidal Sunrays at CES and had no interest in them either.

This year I will spend some time listening to the Lansche speakers brought into the US by Aaudio imports. I am told by others that they are superior to the Contrivas, but I have to hear for myself. I have always loved plasma tweeters, but beginning with the Ionovacs have never found them to mate with other drivers. I must say that several CESs ago I heard what I recall being the Lansche Model 8s at CES. Everything in the system was foreign to me, but I was very impressed.

This year's RMAF promises to be very interesting to me. I doubt very seriously that I would consider replacing the Tidal Contrivas, however.

Tbg, are you happy with bass range of Contrivas?
I think it is very limited. Can not move the floor:)
Arround 10th of October I'll have KK in my home.
Will post my impressions.

Murataltuev, I have bass down to about 14 Hz and have a very large room, 18 x 26 x 11.5 feet. I am on the second floor with wooden flooring and do feel the impact on me of the bass on pianos and the decay of timpani and the oscillations of 16 Hz on an organ.

murat---

i can assure you that my sunrays reach the lowest of octaves when pushed, and/or when it is on the material played. mind you, my room is quite large(~525sqft), and i certailny feel the visceral impact of bass, acoustic or electrical, kick drum and organs.
as for the kk speakers-- looks can be deceiving -- heard them at ces a couple of years ago, and they were stunning!
