Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse

I've used them with 8 watt SET amps with great success, though I think the low end drivers ultimately do require a bit more power.

In my system when pairing Super Eclipse III's with Coincident Frankenstein 300b amps, I have not found that to be the case. I have not found the combination lacking or rolling off.

In other direct comparisons I have found the Coincident Frankensteins to be on par with some 845 based SETs in terms of their ability to drive, so they may outperform their rating.

If you prefer tubes they should definitely be on your short list. ;)

unless you have $$ for higher-power good SET, push-pull triode next best topology in my expeience (own/have owned many Coincident speakers)

I have the Coincident Total Eclipse2 and have used very good push-pull amps with very good results. However the Frankenstein MK 2 300b SET amps are in my opinion on a higher plane and sound superior to any PP amp I`ve heard thus far. Don`t be put off by it`s 8 watt power rating, this amp is quite powerful,dynamic and very big sounding in size and scale and truely has wonderful tone with a natural organic character. This amp would mate in a most beatiful manner with your speakers(they will certainly have no promblems with controlling the woofers.
Best of luck

Find a used Canary amplifier that uses 300B's in push pull like a CA-306.
I believe Coincident used to feel very strongly about the Canary amplifiers believing they were a very simpatico pairing with their speakers.

Please note here.... different folks with the same or nearly the same units say different things about them.

your tastes and room will determine the best fit for you.

if they weren't so tall I'd have considered them long ago and did until I really eye'd their overall dimensions.

Despite the controversial accounts here, it's a very safe bet that Israels speakers can do well itty bitty powered amps and much more powerful ones... so amp shopping ought to be fun as you've many choices.

That said, the design does seem to favor amps with tubes, and amps that aren't extremely muscular. if it were me, I'd look to tube amps first though. Power will always gain one more control. More power, more control over the drivers. But with such a benign load the short list you entered here might ought be revised.

BTW.... exactly how does one go about losing an amp when moving? they ain't like sneakers or a toaster.
