proac sound vs coincident sound


Has anyone heard these 2 speakers. I own Coincident peII's.
There aren't any dealers for proac anywhere close to me and I am curious about their sound, primarily the 2.5 or 2.8 series.
Are they thin or bright? I have read that the efficiency is not as advertised, will 40 triode watts get the job done?
Thanks

Both speakers have different sonic character. Coincident is honest, good extension and fast. ProAc is "English" - enrichment in mid range with a softer highs. I would say ProArc is a little colored than Coincident. It depends what is your cup of tea. Coincident is flat at 8 ohmn. I use both 25W and 85W class A tube amp to drive my Total Victory II. With the 25W amp, you can't believe it comes out from that small power.It is a very easy-driven speaker. YOu have to listen to both to decide. Different speaker, in fact.
