Coincident speakers


Can anyone shed any info on Coincident speakers?
Comparisons?
I've been told I might like them.
Thanks

I have Conquests, Triumphs and Mini Triumphs. All are amazing. They are very revealing and bright gear will sound bright. Class A equipment and tubes are what they seem to mate best with. My amps range from 7 watts to 120 watts. The 120's never make it past 1/4 volume.
What equipment are you planning on mating them with?
I have Super Eclipse III's as well and love them. I've used them with an 8 watt SET amp, where they were the closest thing to the speed of horns I've found in a floorstander in that price range. I'd say they are lightening fast and very detailed speakers that are also very revealing of what you feed them. I'm now using 150 watt Modwright KWA 150 amp and that also pairs very well with the the SE III's, taking a firm grasp of the low-end, while still delivering the magic throughout the range. The SET renders a more holographic stage, while the KWA is also no slouch there but is just a cut below in only that department. Other than that I actually prefer the SS amp there as a more versatile companion, and for the greater extension without the typical SS price to pay in the case of the KWA. I've heard his speakers with his own SET amps at one of the shows (one of the Victory line) and they revealed very similar open and revealing character. The upper end seemed slightly better with the Victory's I heard. They're beautifully finished as well. Overall I'd say my experience with them bring the following to mind first: Speed, dynamics, clarity. They do a whole lot well, but I was really impressed with those aspects of their performance.

It may help to get feedback to let us know a bit about the rest of your system, musical preferences, etc (ie why do others think these would be something you would like?). Also, Israel Blume makes a whole range of speakers from small to large, and varying in price...which were you considering?
Thanks, guys, for the input. Just trying to chart a course of action for the future. Been through various stages, like most people on here. I like clarity, dynamics, tonal density. About the only route I haven't yet tried is the smaller watt amp/efficient speaker combo. Going with a downsize approach, currently using Harbeth 7's with a hodgepodge of gear. Having had several Spendors, the Harbeths are a great leap forward in that type of sound. Some say the next step is the Audio Notes, which I've never heard.

I like the idea of using a more efficient speaker with lower wattage, so the new Luxman integrateds or Lebens have me intrigued.

A friend mentioned a dealer he likes was big on the Coincident line, hence my post.
I'd like to stay under $10k, realistically around $5k.

Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Own the Triumph UHS TRS monitors and keep trying to find something much better and have so far failed. They are fast, open, detailed and with my Sugden A21SE integrated the volume doesn't get much above 8 o'clock. I've also run them with VTL Tiny Triodes, Luxman 1120A, Onix A60 and they change character each time. Hope this helps.
Chas - The experience I have had with Coincident floorstanders, and specifically with my current SE III's, certainly do NOT remind me at all of Harbeth 7's. The Harbeths are one of the most laid back speakers I've heard. They present a soundstage that is well behind the speakers. I'd say the Coincidents are a different flavor in that regard. They are more forward and probably have more emphasis on the revealing side...perhaps a bit more dynamic and fuller. They pull you in. I'd put the Harbeth's that I heard in a far more natural, I want to say 'relaxed' realm, and definitely very laid back. That is not meant as a qualitative statement. Only an observations that the two speakers definitely are not in the same family as far as presentation. I enjoyed the Harbeths, but they were definitely not my preference - I prefer something a bit more forward myself. Just thought you'd be interested in that observation.
