How good is the coincident frankenstein mark 2 amp

Iam seeking input from current owners and those familiar with these amplifiers. The professional reviews are very good however I value the thoughts of those who have personal insight as much if not more. My system includes the coincidentdent total eclipse2 speakers,quicksilver preamp modified with Vcap OIMP capacitors,timbre tt1-dac,esoteric p2 transport,PS audio transcedent silver IC and slinkylins speaker cable. My room is 14x24x8foot ceiling. Musical taste acoustical jazz and small to medium scale classical.
Thanks

Just curious Byfo,Montejay and Pechtm did you all consider or compare other SET amps before selecting the frankensteins. I had nearly chosen the dehavilland 845 amp prior to finally picking the franks.

Hi,

I have the Total Reference and I had the Pure Reference that I subsequently sold. The Frankensteins are everything Mr. Salvatore says and possibly more. I have never regretted a single purchase from Coincident Technology. At times I feel the realism in my system is disarming. The Frankensteins are perfectly suited to your musical tastes. I have the KR 300BXLS in my amps. I find that the sound from 20 to 20K is as good as it gets. As far as I am concerned I am set (?pun) for life. You will never regret your purchase. These truly are the finest amps available.

Hi Jhzoller, did you buy based on previous Coincident product satisfaction or was there comparison to other highly regarded SET amps and is this your first SET amplifier?

Thanks

Jhzoller, can you tell us more about the Pure Reference in contrast to the TV, and perhaps why you sold them.

(I have the Super Eclipse II)
