Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline?


Hi, I'd appreciate your opinions on Coincident speakers and Silverline speakers in general for a system I'm putting together. I listen mostly to jazz and rock at moderate volume levels and what I appreciate is a transparent, detailed, musical presentation. My budget is flexible, the only stipulation is the speakers would need to be fairly close (12" max) to the rear wall and my listening room has furniture and all maner of things in a normal living room. Thanks!

I am making a similar search and am looking at similar speakers. I would love to go for Coincident, but simply can't accomodate them. On discussion with the dealer, the conclusion was the farther out from the wall the better, complicating that is the side firing woofers make them very deep anyway. I have narrowed down to Silverline Sonatas, but I also like the look of a small outfit Reimer and their Wind River speakers. You might look at their site too, similar tube friendly, high sensitivity
Sorry, you misunderstood my answer, it was'nt meant as a criticism of the side firing woofer, only remarking that it made them of necessity, deeper and therefore more difficult to accomodate for myself and steinway57. I will relook at the Super Eclipse at your suggestion.
