Ocellia speakers and power

On what do you base your assessment that the Ocellia cabinet "seems the better design"? Both companies use the same "resonant cabinet" philosophy, actually. I have not heard Ocellia but I can state that the Tonian cabinets, and speakers, are simply amazing in capturing the micro & macrodynamics of acoustic instruments.

Paul,
Have you specifically heard the Tonian Lab Classic 12.1(PHY-HP 12 driver)? This is the model that intrigues me. It would seem ideal for 8 watt 300b SET amps.

Unfortunately never heard the Classic 12. Had pr on order 1.5 years ago and canceled due to financial concerns (that didn't materialize). Boneheaded move.

Assessment based on seeing pics of Ocellia speakers and how they are made (from a 6moons factory tour review) and finding NO information of Tonian speakers and what the insides of one looks like. So yes it was an assumption on my part, sorry.

I think both makers are experts at their chosen craft. Yes, more public info on Ocellia. But Tony is honestly a magic-maker and really, really knows what he's doing with those cabinets too. Also, the integration with the ribbon tweeter, even on the lower models (actually I've only heard the lower models), is so good it's also amazing. It's just seamless. There are only a handful of speakers I personally would gush about like this... everyone's MMV.
