Coincident Total Victory owners


I am thinking about buying a pair of TV speakers and would like the opinions from those that have or have had these speakers in their system. What is your likes and dislikes about these speakers? I have Tenor 15wi monoblock amps and a 47 Labs flatfish and progression DAC. Thanks.

I have had these "killer" speakers for about 9 months. I purchased them direct from Israel Blume himself. They are backordered and I had to wait for them to be made. The wait is worth it.

Before I decided on the Coincident TVs, I spent a year listening to the following in "good" soundrooms and other's houses: B&W Nautilus 801, used Genesis 200 and 300 systems (too big for my house and out of business at the time), Eggleston Andra, Talon Khorus X, Revel Studio and Salon, Wilson Watt/Puppy 7, Piega P-10 (C-10 now) and P-8 Ltd. (C-8 Ltd. now), Von Schweikert VR-7, Dunlavy SC-5, Silverline La Folia and Sinfonia (great sound value too but Silverline recommended I needed a larger room). The B&W, Talon, Revel, and Wilson speakers were too "bright" for my tastes (I have never heard a metal dome that I liked). The Piega's did not have the low-end I wanted (afterall I was in the market for full-range) and the Dunlavy, although musically involving, were not up to the transperancy I was looking (listening) for.

My search came down to the Von Schweikert VR-7, Eggleston Andra, Silverline La Folia and Sinfonia, and Coincident TVs. The Eggleston fell out of the "mix" because I felt there was some very slight coloration in the mids (hence Eggleston put in a crossover in the Andra II). The Sinfonia fell out next due to price ($19,999). Next the La Folia fell out after discussing it w/ Silverline - they stated my room was too small (14' x 16').

Now it was down to the Von S. VR-7 and the Coinc. TV. It was a hard, hard decision but it came down to two factors: 1) which was more "tube friendly and oriented" and 2) "wife appeal" factor. The VR-7 required to be out in the room to really perform best and had impedances from 8 to 4 ohms. The TVs can be as little as 16-inches from the rear wall and 24-inches from the side walls and are a nominal 10-ohm load across the audible band.

IMHO 1) if you prefer tubes get the TVs, 2) if you prefer solid-state (high quality, high wattage) get the VR-7, and 3) if you have a larger room consider the Silverline's also.
I have owned the TV's for 6 months and
quite happy with the sound. There is someone
on audiogon with the tenor/TV combination.
I believe anyone looking at a speaker in this
price range should at least audition these speakers.

I have the TV's with the Tenor 15wi monoblocks. The Tenor and TV have a great synergy. With just 15 watts of power the Tenor amps drive them easily.
I have been interested in the TV. But the one thing I have a problem with is that they do not come with grill covers. Seems like a small thing to ask for. Without them the W.A.F. Is out the door. As good looking as they are when not in use they could blend in so much better with grill covers. Oh well cant have everything I guess
you guys should hear the TV (or TE) driven by the Wyetech Topaz 572 SET amp or the ASL Hurricanes...
