Coincident Pure Reference Extreme

Hi JWM......actually my speakers are quite far out into the room (3-4 feet?) but you're correct about the separation. I actually can't move then anymore since they would be blocking the front door. I sit approx. 6-8 feet from the main speakers. I toyed with the idea of putting them on the long wall which would allow me more separation but I'd be much closer to the mains then (3-5'). Believe it or not the stage presentation is quite good but that's for your good advice!!!!

I am lucky as I live in NYC and one of the dealers is in Manhattan. I am curious to hear from people who have heard these speakers to see if there is a good reason to stop by and give them a listen. I probably will anyway....but would love to hear fro you all. Thanks!

Thank you all for some very candid comments!! Keep 'em coming!

Hi all....hi Gpgr4blu...Thanks for the compliment on my system. I made some changes and never updated the photos or description. My main amps are 2 (two) MacIntosh 275 running mono. My pre amp is a Calyspo and my TT is the TWR Raven AC1 with a Tri-Planer arm and a Dynavector DR1 cartridge.

Hi Bob...can you explain a bit more what you mean about the "dead cabinet" sound? Is this an asset to you or not? Just curious. Tks!

I just added a question on another thread "Vandersteens vs Sonus Faber Stradivarius Homage. Answer here or there. Sorry for the confusion.... :)

Sorry Gpgrblu...I meant the Vandersteens 5A's. My speakers for the last 30 years have been the Infinity RS 1B's. I was just curious to see how the Coincident PR Extream's and the Vandersteen 5A's would match up with my speakers. Thanks for your thoughtful comment!!!
