Silverline Sonata III vs. Coincident Total Eclipse

Has anyone compared these two speakers? My intention is to use them with tubes (haven't decided yet on the exact topology, but would be nice to be able to use low power and sound good at low volumes). Room is 30x13x8 but may be curtained off to be 18x13x8. Listening is 35% classic rock, 35% bluegrass, 20% jazz, 10% classical. Musicality and detail (especially acoustic instruments and voices) is more important than raw power or super deep bass (i have a seperate 200 watt solid state system with subwoofer if I really need to crank it up).Any input is greatly appreciated.

Haven't compared them but,
Coincident speakers are amazingly efficient with loads of bass. They will fill that room with 3 watts!

Why curtain it off? It won't help/hurt acoustics unless your curtain is about a foot thick and still, the bass will dissipate.

A cirtain would look hideous. Invest in some nice "soft" artwork, tapestry's or similar and you will get a better look and probably better results.
