Opinions about Coincident's Super Eclipse speaker


Anyone familiar with the performance level of this speaker??(especially bass and soundstaging) Also,how dependent is this model on cable and amp interfacing??

Sunny- I've had the pleasure of listening to the Super Eclipse and the Total Eclipse at my friend's house with lots of different amps and cable combinations. I had thought him crazy to have replaced the Super with the Total until I heard them. The Total Eclipse is nothing short of amazing. As good as the Super is, the Total really is in a separate class, IMO. Your room size might dictate the Super E's. If so, be sure to go for the latest version as Brulee suggests to obtain a sound closer to the Total E's.
With either, stick with tubes for best results, but they need to be the best SET or OTL types to truly appreciate their ability. Cable choice will depend on the amp and your personal preferences. Coincident TRS, FIM Gold, and Sakura OTA have all performed very well. Good Luck.
