Soliloquy 6.5 vs. Coincident Super Eclipse same $

Jim I will have to agree with Todd.The 6.3s would be better for your room.The 6.5s would over power your room without a doubt! I also have 6.3s.. if I had the room I wouldn't mind having the 6.5s either!Good luck my friend.

Gentlemen, Thanks for the advice. I have not heard from any Coincident fans so, I think that I will stay within the Soliloquy family of products. This may end up costing me a lot of money if I do go with the 6.5s. I may have to buy a bigger house. Thanks for all your help, Jim

Oops. Maybe I am late but a very good friend has Coincident Super Eclipses in a room which is probably 13 x 20. He runs them from the narrow end facing the long way (we tried them the other way but it does NOT work. They definitely need to be out from the wall quite a bit (4' is better than 3') but they make beautiful music and work well in the room (no treatments, carpeting on floor). He drives them with an ARC VT200. They are among the best if not THE best dynamic speakers I have ever heard (my other favorite dynamic speakers so far are Avalon Eidolons but they are substantially less flexible in terms of amplification (and more bucks)) and among the high efficiency dynamic speakers I have heard, they are by far the least 'colored'. They are extremely revealing and somewhat unforgiving. FWIW, they match well with Coincident speaker cables.

I have not heard the Soliloquys and as such can make no comparison. Just thought that the Coincidents needed some representation... :^)

The Super E's are superb. I had them before moving up to the Coincident Total Victory, however would have no issue recommending them highly. I found them less fussy re: room palcement than the gentleman above- I had them in a 10'x16' room (along the 10" wall) and only about 18" from the back wall, and thye were great. With the Super E, you can feed it more power than some may suggest with no problem. I was using 160 wpc tube monoblocks and it really woke them up- a simply excellent performing speaker. Good luck!

Thanks Sutts and T bone, I am glad to hear form some Coincident fans. My room size is very similar to Sutts' room. I am glad to see that the placement of the Supers isn't as critical as I've heard. Thanks for the information. Jim
