Started my journey with a Home Theatre system that I just happened to listen to music on as well. As much as I love film, I also love music and as time passed I started to seperate my 2 channel from my home theatre. With the purchase of the Ocellia Cellia silver speakers the change in sound was amazing. Now I am actively looking to change my amps and my pre-amp(In the $4000 used ea. range). Afterwards I will be upgrading my cabling and cartridge. I love spinning vinyl!
Our current location is a rental, so space is shared. Damaging room upgrades also not possible.
French manufacturer. Analogue rig sitting on a chest with 200kg sand inside for stability. The turntable and motor are on separate FIM isolation bases.
Audio Note M6 pre-amp with phono
Wonderfull sounding pre-amp.
Audio Note P4 Mono blocks SET 300B in parallel
Wonderfull sounding mono blocks.
Ocellia Cellia Silver
French manufacturer. Beautiful hand made cabinets. Full range PHY-HP driver with 16ohm Alnico magnet. PHY-HP super tweeter running in parralel. No crossover.
Yes, it's my understanding that controlled resonance is the approach both companies take. I did not look inside the speaker. It is a remarkable speaker. Haven't heard the Ocellia's but I can imagine how wonderful they must be. There are a few guys on asylum that use Phy so you might inquire about amps on the Hi-Eff board.
Nice looking system. I recently heard Tonian Acoustics' Phy wideband with ribbon supertweeter. Tonian used to carry Ocellia so perhaps they are similar. I heard them through Stellavox mosfet-based monoblocks. About the size of a modem. I enjoy SET, but the combo sounded incredible. Along these lines...maybe Pass FirstWatt F3? Of course there are plenty of tubes that could do the job given the sensitivity of the speakers.
