Coincident Super Eclipse or Devore Nines?

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.

I agree with Chayro.Already having extreme wiring in your speakers,there is alot to be gained by having extreme speaker cable and interconnects.Should bring the sound more forward and further decrease any veil that you may have and not realise is there.
Switching to the devores (harder to drive)would cause a dead end ampwise and tubes, IMO would give you the mids(perhaps a 300b) you seem to be looking for.

Arbuckle,
I have had Super e III's and now have PE II's, I have a Cary Sli-80 and my mids and highs are plenty forward. I am the one that started the other thread that is referred to. I was looking for something less forward in the Devore not more. You could change out wires as others suggest, Extreme wiring will bring out more of what you want.
I rolled tube in my amp until I got what I wanted, but you can't do that. I think the Coincident are some of the best speakers out their and your model allows for a lot of experimentation with different types of amps. I have had more than one pair of Coincident because I would sell them looking for something better and ultimately end up back where I started YMMV.

Nines my friend.... this is not even worth stressing... It's a tonally an upgrade to Coincidents, which are fine in their own right to be sure...., but not on par with Nines based on my listening experience which included 4 different tube set-ups prior to purchase.... Enjoy!!

Ok, I don't think it is the amp as I have had this one on Proacs and the sound I wanted was there, so it is not the amps........ I ordered some Nordost Red Dawn speaker cables, I'll try this and see what happens!
