TIDAL Contriva G3 

"The all new successor of the worldwide praised TIDAL Contriva (G2). After a decade of production we did not let things as they were, all is completely new with the Contriva G3. Like with iconic design classics improving does not mean changing. It means making dimensions and proportions better while strictly continuing and following the generic and unique design of it. Massive stainless steel footers and a unique isolation concept underline the elegant design.

The cabinet is made out of TIRALIT™, TIDAL's proprietary cabinet material for this 106 Kg beauty. All new in-house designed proprietary TIDAL carbon-fiber aluminum sandwich woofers reproduce bass even deeper and faster. The next generation black ceramic midrange and new diamond tweeter with its unique isolation mounting technology play even more transparent and linear. The result is the very best midsize speaker we ever built."
