The Tonians are driven with this Line Magnetic 218A 3 wpc integrated amplifier using EL84 output tubes.
My quest for a pair of Tonian Labs speakers was finally realized Yesterday
About 3 years ago I started researching Tonian Labs speakers. I saw an ad for a pair on Audiogon or US Audio Mart and read the description and thought these sound like something I am looking for. Most of the ads I saw were on the west coast. I live in the Mid Atlantic area. So for 3 years I never had a chance to audition a pair. I decided to place a wanted ad on US Audio Mart. Within a few days a gentleman from Ct. responded and said how excited he was with his model Tonians and was excited for me in my quest to find a pair to listen to and hopefully buy. He didn't have any for sale because he loved their sound quality and said he would be buried with them. The next day a guy in Pa. responded saying he had a pair for sale. They are the model TL-P1 with a Philips driver and a Fountek tweeter. These speakers are 95 DB sensitivity. I heard them play with a Line Magnetic 218A 3 wpc amplifier and the sound was so organic and alive sounding. The speakers completely disappeared. The are now sitting in my listening room. I am amazed every time I play my music. I would like to hear from anyone who has listened to Tonians or owns a pair. I would appreciate any comments.
