Coincident Total Reference = any thoughts

i heard the speaker at the venetian this past january.

what can i say ? it's a decent cone speaker design.

The Pure Reference was shown, not its predecessor the TR.

I heard this speakers at the Venetian as well, and was very impressed. Very open, uncolored and dynamic.
Killer bass.
They were one of the speakers I liked at CES.
Yes, they were Pure, not Total Reference

what is the difference between the "Total Reference" and the "Pure Reference'??

Total Reference, now discontinued had a ribbon tweeter, four midrange drivers and four 12" woofers and was 95 db efficient.
The Pure Reference uses a ceramic tweeter, ceramic midrange and two 12" woofers. It is around 93 db eficient.
Both use the same size cabinet and first order crossovers and are a fairly flat impedance, thus are quite easy to drive.
I have not heard either of them but own Total Victories and have heard the TV's at Israel Blume's (owner of Coincident) home. When I get some time I plan to hear the pure reference.
