Coincident Total Reference vs Zu Definition

Has anyone listened to Coincident Total Reference retail $22,00? In particular I would like to know comparative difference with Zu Definition neither of which I have heard but are the leading contenders for my speaker selection. I would like to know if it is worth while paying extra $12,000 to go with Conincident Total Reference. I want a second system for the master bedroom which is fairly large and I'm thinking of using Melody P1688 Signature preamp and Melody M2A3 dual mono amps as associated equipment. Any comments or suggestions appreciated.

Ben, have you tried any of the Atma-Sphere amps. I am running MA1's with the Total Victory ll's. Everything is there from ppp to house shaking volumes.

Sorry about the delay Ben. I did not see your response.

I use Welborne Labs Laurel IIx with my Super Eclipse. These are SETs based around the 300B valve. Mine have the Ultimate Upgrade kit fitted, and Full Music mesh triodes. I use Sylvania 6SL7GT VT-229 driver tubes (from 1945).

I live in an apartment so I have all the volume I need from 8 watts. If I were to upgrade the amps I'd either go for Ron Welborne's DRD amps (300B) or a balanced pair of monoblocks like the BAT VK-150SE (yes, I know that these two could not be further apart in topology).

you want something soft and warm for the bedroom (so the wife will stay there), not dynamic as hell like the 2 you mentioned

think sonus faber or something
