My Coincident Dynamo - good news, bad news

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

Scott I for one really appreciate you taking the time to explain the final resolution. Often times folks will ask for advice or comments and then completely disappear when people are really interested in learning the outcome, just very rude to me at least, particularly when there is a problem with a piece of gear or vendor and names are given.

Scott,

I'd be interested to what is the rest of teh system being used to run the Harbeths?

I agree with your statement about finding what suits your room best and going with that. Whenever I listen to live music as a reference and then compare to home, it always comes back to what works best in the room of concern matters most and that usually revolves mostly around the choice of speakers and where you go from there to make them sing best.
