Coincident speakers 14 Ohms - What amplification to use when streaming Tidal.

Thanks.  I will check those out. My Coincidents are at a 97 db sensitivity, so I don’t think that is inefficient, but what do I know.  Seriously, using an 8 Ohm amp on these 14 Ohm speakers will cause what kinds of problems?

Yes- at that impedance 97 dB would be a high sensitivity. In practice though it appears that the speaker is more like about 94. Using the 8 ohm tap will be no worries.

That amp would sound fine, but if you plan to fill 1000 sq feet(!) you'll need considerably more power unless you will be fairly close to the system.

"A SET tube amp is recommended by Coincident, but I do not play records any more..."

Not sure if I follow the connection..

Same here... how are the two connected?  Pick an amp you like and that interfaces well to your speakers.  In the end streaming and vinyl are both 1V nominal analog music signals

The Bluesound Node 2i would work for your streaming source.  It's really easy to set up and use.  It can connect with your  WiFi router either by WiFi or ethernet cable.  You download an app to your phone or tablet and control it with that.  If you have any problems someone here could advise you on where you're going wrong.

I don't know what the difference between the Node 2 and 2i is but you can probably pick up a 2 used here, if you want to save a little there.
