Coincident Victory or Eminent Tech LFT8

E.T. is a great speaker but these are such different animals its hard to make a good recomendation. One is conventional and high effecient, the other is Planar and harder to drive. The Coincident will work with lower powered tubes, wont need the room to breath the ET will but wont give you the same distinct often intoxicating sound the ET will.
Its the same old story but especially with such different designs you simply have to listen and trust your ears.
One thought is post room info and gear you want to use as this may be a decider. The Coincident is gonna be a more detailed and brighter speaker than the ET, again its what you prefer.....the ET is a real winner at its price and the Coincident has its merits and fans aswell. Cheers

both have 'cult' status(which makes a review (good or bad) a non-starter for all parties. since both are different species, the type of amp you have may determine your final decision.

Coincident got a rough ride from Stereophile years ago if memory serves. Like happened with a number of other companies during that era, the Stereophile comments were undeserved. On account of that, Stereophile developed a reputation in the industry that it was not a good idea to submit a product to them for review unless you had some sort of advertising contract also.

The magazine has gone through a lot of changes since then so the hearsay back then is likely outdated.
