Harbeth or Coincident

Hi All,

I'm down sizing but want to keep the quality of my music. Room is small and not ideal but has to do. 4M x 4M.

Presently Im looking at either of the below set ups:-

1. Cayin 300B (8W Set amp) driving Coincident triumph speakers
2. Plinius 9100 amp driving either the Harbeth P3ESR or compact 7's

Thoughts please. I know I should audition but Australia is so backwards, no one carries these fine brands...we are well behind the times

Music is soul / Reggae / RNB. Artist like Amy Wine House, Mary J Blige, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Keith Sweat, Bob Marley, Joss Stone, Tracey, Tracey Champman. No classical / orcestra / country what so ever.

I appreciate your thoughts, many thanks.

Regards

#1, but I don't know that the efficiency rating of the monitors means much in actual listening. Does the Cayin have the juice to produce real dynamics (bounce not volume). WIth your taste in music, they'll be a sub in your future too, I bet.

Both systems would work well but given your music taste I think you would be thrilled with the 300b/coincident pairing. This combination will sound very natural,organic and with wonderful timbre,dynamics and an exceptionally open and live sound in your size room. That speaker is a great match with a good SET amplifier.
Best of luck
