Coincident Total Reference = any thoughts


Looking to set up a system in my theater room- like listening to Diana Krall and such- Would this be a good speaker for this- anyone have any thoughts or have listened to this speaker??

I heard this speakers at the Venetian as well, and was very impressed. Very open, uncolored and dynamic.
Killer bass.
They were one of the speakers I liked at CES.
Yes, they were Pure, not Total Reference
Total Reference, now discontinued had a ribbon tweeter, four midrange drivers and four 12" woofers and was 95 db efficient.
The Pure Reference uses a ceramic tweeter, ceramic midrange and two 12" woofers. It is around 93 db eficient.
Both use the same size cabinet and first order crossovers and are a fairly flat impedance, thus are quite easy to drive.
I have not heard either of them but own Total Victories and have heard the TV's at Israel Blume's (owner of Coincident) home. When I get some time I plan to hear the pure reference.
Both the TR's and PR's are wonderfully dynamic and articulate loudspeakers. The TR has a bit more mid/bass weight (presence) and the PR a bit more clarity (definition).
Your tastes and system will determine which speaker you would prefer. If you are interested I have a TR for sale.
I have just moved to a smaller home (retirement) and the TR's or PR's are just too big for my wife, without a dedicated listening room. Please see my ad under Coincident.
Thanks.
