Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse


I recently bought a pair of these speakers used, and in the process of a move, my amp has disappeared..

So I'm looking for a replacement - I'm using a Joule Electra preamp, and am considering a Moscode 401HR, 300B monos, or even a Threshold T-400 (overkill perhaps but I like the idea of power in reserve).

Any experience or thoughts on the best pairing(s)?

FWIW a 'high current' amplifier will not benefit you with Coincidents in general, as they tend to have higher impedances, which favor tubes. I think the lowest impedance of any of the models is 8 ohms, and some are 14. So the 'high current' aspect of transistor amplifiers is never invoked.

IME its a good idea to have some power on any of the Coincidents. You may think you are doing well with 7 watts, but when you hear what a clean 60 watts can do you might re-think that.

Israel's speakers favor tube amps and especially those that are zero feedback.
