My Coincident Dynamo - good news, bad news


Hi everyone,

Good news: The unit is not humming.

Bad news: The unit is completely dead.

Waiting to see what Coincident will do. Been over two months since I originally placed the order. 8 weeks of that time it's been in shipping and return shipping. A week or so in repair shop, and I've listened to it for a total of about 30 minutes. Now it's dead. Let's hope they make it right.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Best, Scott

I wonder if the problem was caused by shipping. How's the packaging? Was it double boxed? Who's the shipper?

No company is perfect and I agree the most important is how they deal with the problem. Of course if it's ARC, everybody POUNCES regardless the circumstance. Guilty until proven innocent! I guess Brady now knows the price of being #1. LOL!
Looks like you are now selling it! I assume you found an amp more to your liking? Let us know how it turned out. Thanks.
I wonder how this story ended? Does not sound like a happy ending if unit is being sold.
Ok, so here's the update…I did get a replacement unit a week ago, and it's working well.

However, the whole process took 3 months, during which time I bought a pair of Harbeth P3s that I was going to use in an office system. I found that I liked them so much that I wanted them in my main listening room. The size of the Harbeths is perfect for my smaller room, and the bass is just right. Of course, the Coincident won't drive the Harbeths (83db) very well.

In addition, the pairing of the Dynamo with the Tekton M-Lores that I had was too smooth and lacked some detail (at least compared to the Harbeth set up). So, rather than go down another rabbit hole trying more hi-efficiency speakers, I decided to sell the new unit.

I'm of the opinion that when you find a speaker that suits your room and your listening preferences as well as the Harbeths suit mine, it's time to sit back and enjoy some music.

Hope everyone is doing well,
Scott
