Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse

Matching the right amp to the right speaker is by far one of the greatest opportunities for that magic synergy in a Hifi system IMHO. Like the right cartridge to a tonearm it can make or break the reproduction of beautiful music. Being the "best" of the "best" so to speak, but not matching the needs of each other will result in something you see day in and day out here on AudioGon... people who just keep turning over gear with limited satisfaction. Like I referred to it earlier "a marriage" between the two is magic, anything else just tries to play the tune. Neither Jax2 nor AtmaSphere (Ralph) commented that AtmaSphere and Coincident have displayed at shows together in the past with nice review. Also Sue Kraft of Absolute Sound had reviewed AtmaSphere OTL's and Coincident loud speakers together and had them paired in her own reference system with excellent result. I realize a reviewer and magazine should have little to do with us buying, owning, and even loving our gear yet, I mention it because some value of observation may be helpful for you to work up a short list. I have no other connection with these two brands except for the fact that I happily own and thoroughly enjoy the music that they make and Ralph has been very kind and most helpful to me. Happy Listening!

Manleys always sound good at shows with Coincident.

I auditioned Coincident Pure Reference with Frankensteins SET
and Art Audio push-pull amps of about 40-50 Wt? back to back, in the same session, in a small room.
It was abundantly clear, that the speakers were more dynamic and engaging with the higher power push-pull amps on anything more complex, then just plain vocal type music.
If I had to make that choice b/w 8 Wt. SET and a higher power SET or push-pull, i would have never chosen Frankensteins for the type of music, I listen to- classical, rock, etc)
BTW, Pure Reference are an outstanding speaker.

There is a a list of speaker links (about 20) on Ralph's site (scroll down). I did not embellish further on the pairing, since my comment was purely speculative. Just to be clear; I have not heard Atmasphere+Coincident together, at a show or otherwise, but would bet they'd be great together based on those speakers I have heard Ralph's amps with.

Jax2, Please except my apologies, I meant nothing by including you and
Atmasphere in my comment to support Westborn's query, and do realize much
has been said about the combination of these two fine pieces of equipment, with
good reason. Good suggestion to see the comments on the Atma-Sphere
website. I felt that maybe with Ralph being a proprietor, he may want to assume
a more humble demeanor and stick to the facts at hand and be helpful, as he
always does. Where I, being a very happy owner and with years of first hand
experience, free of any possible appearance of conflict in interest could
unabashedly recommend his beautifully musical Atma-Sphere amps for this
application with Coincident S.E's. That's all.

Happy (OTL...maybe) Listening!
