Eldo,

I'm currently using the Super Eclipse with an ARC VT130se (upgraded by Great Northern Sound) and a Bat VK30se.

I'm stunned by the sound - very open, dynamic, and pin point imaging and unbelievable sound stage. Prior to this I had a Spectral / Proac system.

The 14 ohm load doesn't seen to be a problem. I sent an email to Coincident & they recommended using the 16 ohm & then the 8 ohm tap off the amp.

Tom,

I'm very pleased with the mod.

Steve Huntley replaced the original wonder caps with Cardas Caps, replaced key resistors & also installed a 20 amp EIC power connector on the back. The 130se had a fixed power cord to begin with.

He also recommend that I use the 20 amp Shunyata Python power cord. I did that and the power cord difference was huge.

Steve Huntley is a great person to deal with.

If you need any further info drop me an email.

Steve
