I can't speak for or against the Cary but I do own a Carissa, Sig version, and it is sweet. It has a magic that truly draws me in. I use it sometimes on my Maggie 3.6's. It has the quality to drive them up to its 16 wpc limit and still maintain all that SET beauty. It should be a great match for your Coincidents. Good luck.
Art Audio Carissa vs Cary SLI-80
Anybody have any feedback for me regarding the Carissa (non-signature model w/passive volume control) paired with Coincident Partial Eclipse 2's? I'm currently using & enjoying a SLI-80, F-1 in triode mode. Wondering if it would be an upgrade??? thanks & cheers
