SoundStage!Canadas Coincident
Speaker Technology and well-known OTL-amplifier
manufacturer Atma-Sphere shared a room. This was an
analog-only roomnot a CD to be found. Israel Blume,
president of Coincident, brought his new $2,495 Super
Conquest full-range floorstanding speakers. Doug
Schneider currently has these loudspeakers in for review.
Rather than mass loading the speaker, Blume chose to deal
with resonances via cabinet design. Source components
were a modified Empire turntable (circa late 60s), SME 5
tonearm and Grado cartridge.
The preamp was Ralph Karstens
$3,800 Atma-sphere MP3, and amplifiers were Atma-sphere
M60 MkII OTL monoblocks, also priced at $3,800 (per
pair).
