Coherent speakers from Canada


Anybody here own speakers from coherent? Can you tell me about your experience with them in your room?

17' x 26', but that's deceiving.  One long side is essentially a pathway to the back door.  I have the speakers placed on a long wall, on either side of a fireplace centered on that wall.  I would rather use the standard placement (narrow wall) but that just won't work in this room re: seating.

But this actually works out quite well.  I have the Coherents mounted on 26" high stands, 8' apart (center to center) and approx. 30" out from the wall behind the speakers.  When I received them the speakers were stuffed with polyfill fiber, which I removed.  The speakers sounded a little too "polite" when stuffed, at least with the 45 tube monoblocks.  If I were using a an EL84 or 6550 amp I would replace the fill if necessary.

I use two REL T5i subs.  These are small, downward firing units that work great.  I tried the larger T9s and prefer the T5s.  The T5s are well made and are quite reasonably priced.

I have a pair of GR12s paired to some Mcintosh MC2301s and cant say how impressed me and my friends are with these.These speakers are true GEMS worth every penny and then some.Google Coherent and see how many best of show awards they have been given.Nothing in this price range can touch them.

Received my Coherent Model 10's.  They do not seem to have any trouble integrating into my room.  I only have them pulled out a foot or so from the rear wall and bass does not seem overpowering or boomy at all.  

I've only played them a couple days, more to come...  
Hi every one, first off thanks for all the positive comments on my
line of Coherent speakers. I would like to mention a few things that
help the line work.
1 Coaxial driver Radian USA fantastic compression drivers/Wave guides.
2 My XD crossover, 1 - 10 mfd Mundorf cap, 1 custom multi wound coil, no resistors to pad down the compression driver despite it being 12 db hotter than the woofer,
3 Thin walled cabinets, 1/2 MDF with internal slats every 1.25 inches
no internal dampening ( don't want an acoustical capacitor effect to smear transients)
Customer showed up with his CD's mid 90's grunge, Cranberries
I was ready with the cotton balls. But low and behold some of those
recording were great and the 12's didn't dream at us. The point
is these guys are happy with any type of music but will show up
bad recordings.
