My Coincident Dynamo - good news, bad news

Smrex13
Yeah, I was getting disappointed as well. Another lesson how everyone hears differently. I like the M-Lores better than the Harbeth 7s. So didn't the reviewer Tim Smith and a bunch of others. Best!

Happy to follow up. I learn a lot on these forums, so perhaps someone can learn from my experience.

The rest of my system is currently:

Sources: Marantz SACD player and a Marantz TT (Jolida jD9 phono stage)
Preamp: Joule LA 150
SS set up: McCormack DNA-125 and Harbeth P3esr
Tube set up: Coincident Dynamo and Tekton M-Lore

The comparison of the M-Lore and the Harbeth P3 is certainly not apples-to-apples: a low efficiency $2,000 mini-monitor vs. a high efficiency $650 floor stander. I can't imagine a system/room in which they could both be used optimally. I would imagine the Harbeth C7 is the better comparator with the M-Lore.

I love the M-Lore and think it's the best bargain I've ever come across in audio. If I had a larger room that handled deeper bass better it would really shine. The P3s just fit so much better in my smaller space and have the clarity I was looking for. They just made me want to listen to music and stop thinking about tweaking my rig.

All the best,
Scott

Enjoy those P3's!

Smrex13,
I had the DNA in the past, paired with the Joule, should be extremely nice sounding. Happy you found your sweet spot. Enjoy. Best, Robert

I just bought a used Dynamo to go with my I MAC computer system. I just received a pair of Eminent Technology LFT-11 Planar computer speakers with their small sub which I have been looking for three years. These are not made anymore. I will be going from computer 24/192 USB to a Schiit Bifrost dac directly into the Dynamo. I think this will sound great. I already have new old stock front end tubes for it. Can anyone recommend a dac if I want to improve on the Bifrost that does not cost more than 1,000 new or used. Thx keep you posted.
