Coincident Super Eclipse or Devore Nines?

I currently own the Super Eclipses and love them, but wish they had a more revealing midrange and top end. I actually like the vocals when they are pushed forward a bit and I find the coincidents good, but not great at that. Would the Devore's do this? I listen to rock and alternative so am looking for bass drive and snap with details on the highs/mids.

Will be driven by Pass XA30.5 amp. Thanks

I imagine a tube amp would push the vocals forward more than the Pass Labs solid state amp.

Have you tried a tube amp with the Super Eclipse speakers?

In my system, the XA-60.5 produces a balanced tonal image, whereas several tube amps have "pushed" the mids forward, which is a common trait of tube amps.

Do you use a tube or solid state preamp? A tube preamp may do what you seek, depending on the make and model.

I don't believe changing your speakers is the answer to reaching your goal.

Jaybo has made an excellent point twice now.

Placement can make a profound difference. Just toeing the speakers in (or
out) a couple of degrees, or moving them closer together (or farther apart) by
an inch or two can make a significant change in the depth or width of the
image...and thereby projecting the vocals more (or less).

Worth a try before buying new speakers.
