Ocellia speakers and power

Atmasphere If you want to bring one that can let me know.

I have Tonian Classic 12's with the PHY-12 inch Driver. The amplification will depend on your room and the type of music you like. I have used 45,2a3,300B,GM-70 SET's, a 15W Shindo Montille (EL-84), an Atma-sephere S30 OTL and a refurbed Dynaco ST-70 (EL-34) - all with good success. My current favorite amps to use with it are the Shindo and the Atma-sphere. The PHY driver is extremely revealing and while I generally love SET's, I find the tonal color becomes more exagerated with the PHY's than with other drivers I've experienced. The Shindo and Atma-sphere have a more neutral sound that seems to work well with the Tonians. The only amp that I paired with the Tonian that I really disliked was a 100W SS ICE based amp.

45 and 2A3's will be fine with intimate vocals, jazz and chamber music. I've found I wanted more power with larger orchestral works.

I bought the Tonians after hearing them at last years California Audio Show. To me they were one of the three best speakers at the show. However, I would strongly recommend that you audition PHY based speakers before you purchase them. Based on feedback I heard at the show people generally fall into the love or hate camp with not much middle ground.

Sibelius..... I totally agree with you about either loving or disliking the PHY sound. I use the new Ocellia Twin speakers with the 12 inch PHY driver (not the concentric PHY driver I found that almost congested sounding) and use it with a 8 watt 2A3 Kondo Souga amp. The speaker is just so naturally sounding and not hi-fi sounding. Those that want to be initially impressed with a speaker should look elsewhere those that just want to enjoy and forget about equipment and listen for hours on end should investigate any PHY driver speaker, you will not be disappointed in the long haul.
