Dunlavy vs Coincident

The Totals could be a bit much for your new room.The Super will work fine.From what I have heard the Coincidents are hard to beat.

In a small room you might want to listen the JMlabs mezzo While discussing the Mezzo speaker with a JMlab engineer in france he informed me that the speaker was originaly designed for small rooms. Most of the European apartments are made up of very small rooms. therefore the speakers seems to perform really well in it's most desirable surroundings.

NOTE: The Coincident top of the line speaker at the NY SHOW sounded AMAZING really AMAZING.

Coincident has come out with a new series of speakers UHS ( ultra high sensitivity series loudspeakers) "specifically designed to take advantage of the inherent sonic benefits of single ended triode tube amplifiers". The top of the line is called the 'Victory' 97 db 14-ohm response down to 36 Hz. I'm going to here it as soon as Chicago dealer has it in.

Sean, how did you make out with the Seas drivers you got from the Coincidents? Did you graft them into a new project? I have been meaning to ask you, but this thread put it back in my memory. Were you able to contact Israel in regards to the differences from an off the shelf Seas driver(if any), and crossover design? Is he running these mids flat out, or with crossover components? His newer designs feature high impedence(10 - 14 ohms), and I was wondering if he was running the drivers in series, in order to double it(from 6 - 8 ohms). Any information you are kind enough to pass on would be appreciated. Thank you.

I tried emailing Israel a couple of times with no response. Even though i did my best to reassure him that i was NOT a competitor or manufacturer of any type, he probably thought that giving such information as to specific make and model of the drivers he uses is "proprietary information". As such, the drivers are still sitting in the boxes. One of these days, i'll throw them on my puter with the driver testing equipment and come up with the T / S parameters. Once i've got that and a frequency response chart, then i can do something with them.

As such, the only thing that i can tell you about them now is that they were the mids in a set of Eclipse's. From what i can remember the original owner telling me, they only had one crossover component hooked up to them and they were not running in a band-pass configuration. Israel is obviously a believer in the "simple crossover" school of thought. While this can be done with great results, you obviously have to select your drivers and driver placement VERY carefully. While i doubt that the new models use the same drivers due to differences in sensitivity, i can measure the DCR of these and get back to you. Sean
