Sceana1: Thank you for the response, but knowing a bit about the hi-fi industry, I'm still betting that the left side of Messrs. Porzilli and Bischoffs' garage is Memory Player and the right side of the garage is Sceana. "Scaena and Nova Physics are two completely independent companies"?? -- I would be very surprised if these two names have even been registered as d/b/a's.
The common involvement of these gentlemen with "Nova Physics" and "Sceana" should always be disclosed where the two products are shown together or are discussed publicly together as you have done here -- the use of one manufacturer's product at a show by another manufacturer, or one manufacturer's discussion of that fact in a public forum such as Audiogon, is a strong endorsement of that product, and any commonality of ownership, management and/or design team in such instances needs to be known by potential buyers.
The above said, I again reiterate that the Memory Player sounded great to me, and someone whose opinion I greatly respect has told me that the Sceana speakers are likewise superb.
