| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @ghdprentice : OP, I hope things work out. I am sure you are aware that matching / purchasing unheard is a really difficult way to get an optimal system, one in close alinement to your preferences. If you look at how well a system fits your value... | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @ghdprentice : Road trip. Sometimes it is well worth doing a really long drive… or even a weekend trip. Schedule listening sessions in advance. Explain what you are looking for in advance.  I made it a habit of visiting audio stores all over t... | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @nordicnorm :I love them! I replaced my Martin Logan Spires with them. Prior to that, I thought nothing could out-perform the Spires (in that price range). I was very wrong. That's great to hear! I've talked with a couple owners of the 15s and ... | |
| WhestTHREE signature phono pre vs. ModWright PH 9.0X Quick update - have had the 9.0X for a few months and love it. Was a significant, immediate upgrade from the Phonomena II+ (as I'd hope given the large price difference), and sounds fantastic. Very happy with it. | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s Probably the most annoying thing is that I don't have anywhere nearby to really demo any of these things, and many of the dealers have a 'no return' policy, so makes this especially difficult! | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @soix :Very helpful stuff. Given that I’d look at the Audio Hungary Qualiton X200 or VAC is also worth a good look. If you can entertain a SET amp the Allnic T-1500 Mk2 could be a really nice amp given what you’re looking for. Hope this helps, a... | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @nordicnorm : I am powering my 12’s with a Coincident Dynamo 34SE MKIII amp that puts out a whopping 8 watts. Which is more than enough power for the 12s to sing. The Coincident is being fed by a Don Sachs 6SN7 linestage. Good to know! The 15... | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s Oh, another I have been looking at is the Triode Lab 2A3 EVO, but know next to nothing about them. | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @bjesien : Leben CS600 with KT66 would be great. the little 300 is great too but I liked it more for guitar and vocals than thumping bass type of music. I've owned the Mastersound 300BPSE, great amps. There's a compact 300B for sale on Audiomart... | |
| Amplifier Pairing with Coherent 15s @soix : What type of sound characteristics are you after with the new amp? Wide and deep soundstage, wonderful midrange and vocals, not overly harsh on the top end, full bass without being too sloppy. Overall, I lean toward liking the slightly ... | |
| DFW folks - anyone have these speakers I could listen to? @kennyc I’m also heard the Tannoy at the LA THE Show. Sonically I wasn’t impressed- seemed like the sound was from old tech speakers. Fyne was established by past Tannoy employees so their offerings are more advanced than Tannoy who doesn’t seem ... |
