Coincident Super Eclipse or Devore Nines?

I currently own the Super Eclipses and love them, but wish they had a more revealing midrange and top end. I actually like the vocals when they are pushed forward a bit and I find the coincidents good, but not great at that. Would the Devore's do this? I listen to rock and alternative so am looking for bass drive and snap with details on the highs/mids.

Will be driven by Pass XA30.5 amp. Thanks

Nines my friend.... this is not even worth stressing... It's a tonally an upgrade to Coincidents, which are fine in their own right to be sure...., but not on par with Nines based on my listening experience which included 4 different tube set-ups prior to purchase.... Enjoy!!

Ok, I don't think it is the amp as I have had this one on Proacs and the sound I wanted was there, so it is not the amps........ I ordered some Nordost Red Dawn speaker cables, I'll try this and see what happens!

the easiest 'tonal upgrade' in the world is scooting those 'super' speakers around so they give you their best, which is pretty incredible.

I have recently upgraded to the DeVore Nines and use the Pass Labs XA-30.5 amp and X-1 preamp in a fairly large room (25x14). I've been in high end audio for 25 years, and have tried so many different combinations, but I can honestly say this gives me goose bumps...I am serious that it will complete your quest. See my other threads regarding the Nines and Pass Labs amps. I use this with the Esoteric X-03SE and custom Audio Path silver 8 wire from Tom Hills at Hudson Audio. No words can describe it...
