Demo LYNX arrive

Presenting the new Lotus demo set of the breakthrough Rockport LYNX which dazzled the crowds at Munich this year and were recently awarded The Absolute Sound's "Ultra High End Loudspeaker of the Year". The important tech to understand with LYNX is the cabinet construction. Like the flagship LYRA, LYNX is created from a single piece 84kg aluminium casting with internal stiffening ribs. This one piece continuous monocoque contains all the topology needed to build the loudspeaker so that means no joins, connections, fasteners or structural complexities which can compromise the stiffness and absolute absence of [...]

JOSEPH AUDIO – New to the UK

I am very pleased to announce that in partnership with our staunch friends, UK importers Kog Audio, we have finally brought Joseph Audio to the UK. These speakers genuinely excite me and I think they are going to have a very powerful and long lasting future here. They truly sound incredible here in the Lotus demo room. Startlingly transparent, see through and alive. They perform so highly, sound so naturally right and appealing, in such a small footprint too, and the pricing is quite frankly an anomaly in today's marketplace. We have shaved margins and optimised shipping from the [...]

JMF Audio – Exclusive to LOTUS

In 2025, as Tidal Audio moves into its own dedicated demonstration room to be showcased more as a complete single marque solution, our plan was always to expand out and develop the original Lotus demo room into its own fully functioning ultra high end space which can exist independently. This is a space offering sonic bliss along a similar financial scale, more choice from more of the world’s most ingenious manufacturers, a treasure trove of exquisite and exclusive audio equipment unrivalled in the UK. Finding the correct amplification brand for this expansion was the most difficult task, near impossible [...]

MUNICH HIGH END 2025 – ROUNDUP

The Munich High End show is that most critical part of the calendar where a dealer gets to cement and fortify existing relationships and also forensically research new developments within the industry. It is here in southern Germany, where historically, new partnerships can begin and the latest and greatest products can begin to forge a retail pathway back into customers homes here in the UK.2025 was a fairly gruelling schedule. We had many appointments to attend, quite a few customers to host both new and existing, and then a fair amount of groundwork to get through for up and [...]

Tidal Contriva G3 – TAS REVIEW

In a sense the Contriva G3 produced the best sound I have heard from an audio system. I listen to over 100 systems a year, they range in price from $300 to $3,000,000 and doing this you quickly learn that the idea of singular best is at least potentially misleading at this stage of technological development. Different excellent systems do different things exceptionally well. Still, it is rare to listen to a system extensively and think that it is amongst the best in a range of highly valuable properties, and that was the conclusion that I wasn’t expecting but did [...]
