Harbeth or Coincident

Hi All,

I'm down sizing but want to keep the quality of my music. Room is small and not ideal but has to do. 4M x 4M.

Presently Im looking at either of the below set ups:-

1. Cayin 300B (8W Set amp) driving Coincident triumph speakers
2. Plinius 9100 amp driving either the Harbeth P3ESR or compact 7's

Thoughts please. I know I should audition but Australia is so backwards, no one carries these fine brands...we are well behind the times

Music is soul / Reggae / RNB. Artist like Amy Wine House, Mary J Blige, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Keith Sweat, Bob Marley, Joss Stone, Tracey, Tracey Champman. No classical / orcestra / country what so ever.

I appreciate your thoughts, many thanks.

Regards

I'll play the spoiler. I love Harbeths and have owned several British monitors. Presently run the Coincident Triumphs UHS TRS and enjoy the speaker more than the Harbeths I've oft auditioned with various equipment. Either way would work. I found the Harbeths too polite and the midrange not as open and natural as the Coincident.

I run the Sugden A21SE integrated pure Class A which will easily match the Plinius. Good luck.
