The Coincident Technology Pure Reference (non Extreme) is the most attractive speaker of the Coincident range, reported by Arthur Salvatore to be the finest loudspeaker he has heard.
Now replaced by the Extreme, perhaps in reference to Sonus Faber's fabled Extrema, it may still be purchased, if due decision is made.
The Coincident Technology Total Victory V is presently the most attractive of the range. You'll find a handsome veneer, a rather wide ribbon tweeter, a D'Apolito configuration, and handsome bass by way of side-mounts ala NHT (and their ground-breaking 3.3 loudspeaker).
The logo is small and refined, and you'll find it a mix of Danish and Industrialist should your decor be suitably spartan.
At $14,995 USD, it's priced at the affordable segment of the luxury market, and so is on par with Sanders with their 10C (and D, +$1000), and B&W, with their popular 802 Diamond. ($16,550 USD).
Should you forgo Total Victory, and pursue the Pure Reference (PR) instead, you'll find the D'Apolito scheme gone, with a handsome tweeter and mid-range instead, and a tall, slender cabinet aptly clad and styled (though previously) in the manner of the SLS, so beloved by Sr
