Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers

Yet another recommendation for a PHY based speaker. If you want true bass down to 38, you probably want to use a speaker with a 12" PHY. The Tonian Classic 12 fits the bill. There are other very good PHY based brands but I've always been drawn to Tony's speakers and the way he integrates the PHY driver with his modified supertweeter. PHY speakers are not cheap but I find they are worth the additional cost.

There's been a lot of PHY suggestions (I myself want a pr after hearing an Ocellia) but has anyone heard a side by side comparison between the Tonian vs. Ocellia speakers? There are more people that seem to own Tonian, is it becasue they are made in USA and Ocellia made in France?

Rsf507:

In my case it was because I had the chance to demo the Tonians at a Trade show. Given the amount of $ PHY speakers cost, I could not justify buying one without listening to it first. Since Tony is based in Southern California and is the US PHY distributor, it makes sense that more people here probably have a chance to listen to his speaker vs. the others. Tony also sells cheaper (Fostex) based speakers so I think he also gets folks who like the Fostex trading up to the PHY and AER based models over time.

Silbelius,
What is the crossover point from the PHY driver to the ribbon tweeter?`ve read that it`s seamless.

How is this speaker with acoustic(non amplified) jazz instruments?
Thanks,
