Speakes for SET amp


Just sold my Tannoy speakers and hunting for quality speakers to be matched with my mono block SET amp (211 based). I prefer floor standers with good bass impact, preferably having powered woofers built into it. New OR used up to 8K price range.
Thanks

The nice thing about Coincident speakers is that you don't need a powered sub. The bass of my Total Victory IV's is the best I've ever experienced, and I run the 8 watt Coincident Frankensteins!
I'm glad I didn't run into you last year. I listed the speakers, thinking I could have some money to do things with the family; but at the last minute pulled the ad.
Thank Heaven. I would NEVER have been able to get back to that point.
Funny though, I sold off everything but the Coincident monos, speakers and Coincident speaker cables, and now my system is better than ever. I did have to sacrifice my digital front end, but I'm more of a vinyl guy anyway.
As for the family? Well, I'll be around the house a lot, so perhaps we can bond between record sides.
Well it would appear to be a Coincident love fest and you will not get an argument from me. I dumped my Merlin VSM speakers in favour of the Coincidents and it was the single best move that I've done with my system. I use an 845/211 SET.
Zu, Klipsch, Coincident... All very different, but all excellent covering the entire hi efficiency spectrum from horns to standard dynamic drive systems, to single driver no crossover concepts.

Definitely very very different. I tried a pair of Zu Definitions in three different systems in my own home for a week and heard them again in two other friend's systems. Absolutely hated them, including with my SET amps. Klipsch from the Heritage line would be great, but the best versions of those are very large and require quite a bit of tweaking to sound their best (much direct experience there as well). Once honed in they can sound magical with SET - if you have the space to make them shine, and a bit of extra time and willingness/ability too, that's a brilliant combination if you don't mind the retro look. Coincidents are great right out of the box with nothing to do but proper positioning. I tried finding a conventional dynamic driver speaker that would satisfy me after years with the lightening fast horns on my Klipsch LaScalas (heavily modified). Coincident is where my search ended - not quite as quick as horns, but mighty close and certainly of the fastest dynamic speakers I've heard in the high-sensitivity realms. Disappear like monitors, and also do very will with SS if you choose to switch (at least the model I use does - not sure about the Victory line as the tweets are radically different). I so don't get why anyone would like Zu though, at least the Definitions...just my own experience with them. Bottom line - try to listen to some of the options yourself and see how they occur to your ears.
