Coincident Pure Reference Extreme


Since introduced I have not heard too much about this speaker here. I know some folks say it's SOTA...but how does it compare to other speakers in that price range such as Wilson?

The Coincident PRE has a wonderful lively sound and would be very easy to love. They don’t have the dead cabinet sound that most of the competition has. My comments are based on a brief review at the 2011 RMAF so take that into account.

Rwd, the Vandersteen 7’s, Kharmas, MBLs and my own Salk SoundScapes have thick cabinets that give a character to the sound that is different from the Electrovoice EV6s that I have in my bedroom. Since I am so familiar with the dead sound, I immediately noticed that it wasn’t present with the PREs. I would imagine that most people wouldn’t be able to identify it since it is pretty subtle. I personally would probably go for a dead cabinet, but the nice liveliness of the PREs is very intoxicating.
