While traveling through the halls, I stumbled upon the TIDAL Audio room. I agree that this was one of the most amazing and musical rooms in the show. I disagree it was the most expensive system because one of the first rooms on this floor had speakers that were more expenvive than the three TIDAL pieces combined. While so many rooms struggled to get ok sound, my tracks were reproduced far better than those others claiming to be "best in the world". The lack of transient speed was not apparent to me as images were portrayed with as much speed as I could ever want yet the sound was always musical without any of the spot lit or tipped up highs many call speed. I agree that spacial cues were first rate and returned to this room several times. One correction, the finish was Midnight Black Gloss at $37,000. I was told by the exhibitor that the Ebony Macassar finish couldn't make the trip from Germany in time. I'm getting off the merry go round and buying a pair as soon as I sell mine. TIDAL's room was awesome!
