Suggestions - Amps for Coincident Super Eclipse.

FWIW, I use an Atmasphere S30 with Alon Lotus SE speakers. Prior to purchasing the S30 I auditioned the Cary 300SE monoblocks and much preferred the S30. Greater speed, transparency and much better bass, despite being half the price of the cary's. Coincident uses the Manley retros for their show demo's, usually push-pull, at 30 watts/ch, so the S30 should be plenty with Super Eclispe. One of Atma-Sphere's dealers, Hifilogic is also a coincident dealer and should be a good source of info. Their listed on the Atma-sphere website. FWIW, if I hadn't gone for the S30, my next choice would have been the VAC 30/30($7000 new).

It appears that Coincident is now selling their own amps, factory direct, 18 watts/ch SET in both a mono and stereo version. Both under $3000. Would still take the time to listen to the Atma-sphere/Coincident combo. I agree with Natalie, the super eclipse's are capable of world class sound with the right amps. Over the long term, you'll be rewarded by not skimping now.
