Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident


Interesting if anyone had a chance to compare this great speakers!
I respect very much both of this companies.
I did AB comparisions between their amps and pre.
For my taste Gryphon Colosseum was better than Tidal Impact, but
Tidal Preos was better than Gryphon Mirage.
So now I want to get new speakers and going to compare Tidal Sunray with Gryphon Trident.
They are very much different.
Sunray is all ceramic drivers with dimond tweeter.
Trident is traditional but with 1000watt A/B class amp embedded for LF.
Any opinions?

Hi Murat, I believe with this discussion we very much enter a realm of taste. Personally, I join the chorus and say I'm perfectly satisfied with the bass my Contivas deliver. It is clean, fast, goes very deep and is downright visceral where the music is intended to be. In my perception the Contriva's bass is simply "correct". Mind you, I consider myself a bass buff and like to hear a system thunder now and then, but I tend to get tired from what I would perceive as overblown.
I would see an analogy in wine with some big and extremely extracted Priorats. I was head over heels for a short period of time, a wonderful experience to have made. But not a wine to stack the cellar with, as it will never show the finesse nor the "queue du paon" of subtle aromas that I'm looking for personally. Still, some of them are truly great wines, my predilection is not going to change that.
So, I cross my fingers that you'll find a speaker able to move your sofa ;^) and that otherwise has the virtues of a Contriva.
I'm looking for the speakers unlimited in all frequency range.
I understand that without lowest bass system can be great anyway.
Amea is one of the best speakers on earth, I believe.
I heard once japaniese drums 2m size in one system.
That was incredible impression!
Floor, walls, everything shakes without any bloom!
This is what I'm looking for!
Murat, either get the Tidal T1 or the Eminent Technology TRW 17. I have seen it bounce pictures off the wall at 3 Hz and realistically reproduce an earthquake. I have no interest in doing either, however. You can cook your viscera with it, I should warn you, ie. your insides.
I have owned a Zu Method subwoofer since June, but I just got around to installing it, in part because of my being gone for three months. I must say that as Murat might suggest, it does improve the sound. The Method does have an invert phase button and I have used it to adjust the volume with 40 Hz and lower signals.

I am hearing body added at the bottom, but also improved sound staging. The Method is very fast and was discontinued as Zu was losing money on it, or so I am told. My unit has been off for some time, so I expect it will improve today.
Tbg, just wondering.. isn't it a bit of a waste in buying your supposedly full-range Contriva only to pair it with a sub now. In so doing, wouldn't you be better off with just the Amea or Piano +Subs, then spend the excess to fund for upgrade elsewhere? In my few encounters with them at dealer (normal Contriva), unless your room is really large, given right amplifications, they do not need to be augmented by one. Anyway would be interested to know the outcome of your trial, and hope you could get it to cohere seamlessly. Goodluck.
