Coherent Speakers from Canada

A quick update...the Triode Labs 2a3 si came this week, I believe the last one to be built as Frank Ing told me it was his last chassis for this model. It is a hammertone gray and quite lovely to behold. I had it upgraded from the normal build, with Hashimoto transformers all around and Hashimoto choke. In addition working with Frank Ing he put in a number of other upgrades including Mudorff Supreme coupling caps, Lorlin selector switch, CMC tube sockets and more....it is a FFX model. It has only about 24-30 hours on it and I have been told it will need about 150 hours to really settle in to judge fully the sound. I put the KR 2a3 tubes in it and am enjoying it immensely already.....a really wide sound-stage, solid bass and mid range base and beautiful upper range.

Will keep you informed but so far really enjoying this ride......and listening to lots of cd's and vinyl....Bill Evans is back in it now......

Oh yes forgot to say...the Coherents sound breathtaking with this new amp already.....who needs a website when you got the real thing.....

I spend a lot of time on speaker-building related sites and I KNOW I've seen that coaxial driver somewhere.  (It's not B&C, Faital, Eminence or P.Audio, but ... I'll find it).

Of course the work in speaker building is optimizing the crossover and building a furniture grade cabinet, and from the looks of things (and your reports) it seems as though this is done well.

The drivers are probably quite expensive, even purchased in bulk, so the price being charged for the speakers seems exceptionally fair to me.

Would love to hear them.

Here's an example: my personal website: www.steve-fretz.com.  It took me a couple of hours, tops.  It's for my fine art photography, so not exactly your line of work, but I think it's cohesive and advertises what I do accurately.  I did it even though I know nothing about web development. 

For you, getting really good product photos will be the hardest part.   

I love speakers and speakerbuilding, and if you'd like advice/help, PM through audiogon and I'll give you IRL contact info.  It's probably not as hard a job as you think, if you start with the right framework.  I totally get that your "real" work comes first, but as a very perceptive realtor once told me, "people shop with their eyes.

I hope to hear these speakers some day. They are understated but seem to be very well designed and executed.  The fact that they are easily driven with a 3 watt 2A3 SET amplifier confirms the easy speaker load which is always a good attribute in my opinion. I suspect that the sound quality is very  natural and high level.
