Best amp for Coincident Total EclipseII


I would be greatful to hear from Coincident Tech. TE II owners as to which tube amplifier works best with this speaker. After swapping in a Prima Luna prologue 2 I was quite dismayed to find it much more musical it was than my Atmasphere M60 or Parasound Halo JC1- now I wan't that elusive perfect amp out there!

I've been using an Atmasphere S30 with Coincident total victory 1 for many years. If you had asked me what I thought was the ultimate amplifier for coincident speakers I would have voted for the atma's that you already own, so obviously personal taste's matter.

The Lamm 2.1's (18 watts/ch SET), which someone brought over to hear with the TV's are incredible amps, the best imaging that I have ever heard. Their not as fast as the atmasphere's and transparency is about equal but they create a beautiful musicscape. The $30000(15000 used) price tag will be an issue for most.

I've also heard the Cary 805's. Very nice but I liked the S30 better(faster/more transparent). But if looking for a different type of musical presentation this and other SET's might be worth looking at.
Good luck
