How good is the coincident frankenstein mark 2 amp

Iam seeking input from current owners and those familiar with these amplifiers. The professional reviews are very good however I value the thoughts of those who have personal insight as much if not more. My system includes the coincidentdent total eclipse2 speakers,quicksilver preamp modified with Vcap OIMP capacitors,timbre tt1-dac,esoteric p2 transport,PS audio transcedent silver IC and slinkylins speaker cable. My room is 14x24x8foot ceiling. Musical taste acoustical jazz and small to medium scale classical.
Thanks

Hi Jhzoller, did you buy based on previous Coincident product satisfaction or was there comparison to other highly regarded SET amps and is this your first SET amplifier?

Thanks

Jhzoller, can you tell us more about the Pure Reference in contrast to the TV, and perhaps why you sold them.

(I have the Super Eclipse II)

Has anyone tried the Frankenstein amps with speakers other than Coincident?

I heard the Pure Reference at the Audio Loft in New York City this weekend with an Art Audio amp and Pre and it was very musical. Best I've heard to date.

Tvad,

I am using the Frankenstein amps with Von Schweikert VR5SE's. I am running the BEL 1001's on the bottom end and the Frankensteins on the top. This combination sounds pretty nice.
