Coincident speaker cable experience


I have been using Coincident speaker cable (CST) for two years. Due to changes in my system I need twice as long cables (have 8 feet, need 14 feet). I have two options. get longer cables from Coincident or get another cable brand. Have seen a lot about other speaker cables such as Wire World Eclipse III+. They seem to be outstanding in the reviews I read. My question is How good is Coincident Speaker Cable compared to the competion?

I replaced all of my Coincident cable (ic's, speaker, power) and have never looked back.

Once I started doing comparisons (with AZ, Empirical, Bogdan, Argent Audio, Audience), it became apparent that the Coincident products were very colored and had a big impact on the sound in a negative way. These results weren't just in my system, but in three other systems as well.

Do yourself a favor and listen to some other cables before spending the money on longer lengths. You can read my review of the Argent Audio Jaden Signatures (what replaced the Coincident after my comparisons) here or on Audio Asylum.

Best of luck.

Trelja,

It is great that you are happy with the Coincident products. I wasn't.

At the end of the day, all anybody here is doing is offering their opinions. Frankly, why is your opinion more valid or correct than mine or anybody else?

Many of the ic's I tried performed better than the Coincident. I documented that in my review of the Argent Audio Jaden Signature. If you want to find out more details please refer to that.

Otherwise, relax and enjoy some music.
