Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline?

I own Coincident speakers and have heard the Silverline Sonata's and some of their other models. Both are very nice and will give you speakers you can live with for a long time.

For your room I would go with Coincidents, the Side firing woffers will give you more flexibility. I have mine about 18
" from the the side wall.

The Super Eclipse are as good a speaker as you can buy . Great value for you money. Thier high Efficinency will also allow you a very wide choice of amps.

You cant go wrong with either brand.

I am making a similar search and am looking at similar speakers. I would love to go for Coincident, but simply can't accomodate them. On discussion with the dealer, the conclusion was the farther out from the wall the better, complicating that is the side firing woofers make them very deep anyway. I have narrowed down to Silverline Sonatas, but I also like the look of a small outfit Reimer and their Wind River speakers. You might look at their site too, similar tube friendly, high sensitivity

David12 . I belive you have beem misled. The side firing woffer are a plus, not a negative. I suggest you will be happier with a Super Eclipse VS the Sonata's. Have heard them both and the SE is better by far.

Sorry, you misunderstood my answer, it was'nt meant as a criticism of the side firing woofer, only remarking that it made them of necessity, deeper and therefore more difficult to accomodate for myself and steinway57. I will relook at the Super Eclipse at your suggestion.

As a former Sonata owner, I can tell you that they absolutely will not work 12" from the wall as you propose. They also need a decent sized room because they have prodigous bass capability that will sound overblown if not properly set up. They definitely don't sound like the speaker for you.
