Thanks much Pentatonia for your impressions. I`ve yet to hear any negative or cautious comments regarding Tonian Lab speakers from those who`ve owned them. But man, are they hard to find and audition!
The Tonian speakers are MUCH MUCH better in terms of bass and high frequencies responce. Tony uses a very well made and sofisticated cabin made of the most expensive plywood in the world and about 1cm thick. Thus, while allows cabin to vibrate, prevents it from inappropriate vibration causing ambiguous bass responce and image presentation like Ocellias (3mm cabin thickness).
Prcinka I'm confused....are you saying the AN speakers have no soundstage? Or Ocellia no soundstage? Does Ocellia require silver cable to sound it's best?
If you using the Ongaku, I think the ANE is the synergy champ.....if you are not sold on speakers with no soundstage and only placed against the back wall....then go with the Ocellia's and let them sing in open, non damped room with lots of space around them.....two different concepts.
