Speaker for Coincident Dragons Mk 2 ? Help.

Have been pondering for a year now. Budget < 10000$
Only used.
So far the contenders:

Verity Parsifal
Devore Silverback
Reference 3A grand veena.
Devore Orangutan
Verity Amadis (a big stretch)

Have heard them all except Silverback and Reference 3A.

Rest of my system:
Coincident Linestage
Wavelength Cosecant DAC
Rega RP6 with Shelter 501

Current speakers are VA Mozart Grand.
Looking for transparency, rich sound, and a good lower end, musicality very imp.
My room is 20feet wide, 14 feet long (living room and attached kitchen) and I sit 8 feet from the speakers.

You may have ruled out the Coincident speakers for the same reason I ruled out the pricy Legacy Whispers, which sounded bloated and generally awful in an audio store some years ago. I know -- or at least would hope -- that they don't really sound that way.

The Coincidents my friend has (Victory model) sound very good with his Coincident 300B monoblocks except for being light in the bass -- because they have no real woofers. I would assume that other Coincidents, the ones with side-mounted woofers, don't have this problem. Good luck, in any event.

Maybe the Nola Ko would fit for you.

If you've heard the Verity's and the Orangutan's, which did you prefer?

Subframe, Hard to say, I heard them at different times and with very different equipment. All I can say is that I liked them both: Verity and Orangutans.
I missed out twice this summer, suffice to say if either (parsifal, orangutan) of them come up in Agon again I will snap them up.

Markus, Coincident PRE is out of my price range :(

My main quandary is that the only speakers that I am able to find used are Devore Silverbacks and Reference 3A, which seem risky because I have not heard them and they might overpower my room.
