Tonian Labs vs Musical Affairs

I'm very interested in speakers that use a PHY driver. Musical Affairs and Tonian Labs seem to be two of the leaders and of similar design. I would especially appreciate comparisons between the speakers of these two companies but will welcome any opinions on PHY equipped speakers.

Prcinka, What other PHY speakers have you heard, over which you preferred Ocellia ?

Glide3, I see from another thread that you've owned quite a few speakers. I've been told that PHY speakers offer quite a different listening experience compared with more conventional designs - I currently own JM Lab Mini Utopias. Can you either elaborate on or debunk what I've heard?

Thanks guys

Here's the burning question on my mind: The reviews of most PHY speakers that I've seen have been positive. I haven't heard anything negative on Tonian labs - quite the contrary. So why, when it seems like such a sizable number of audio enthusiasts are calling for efficient, high impedance speakers, is their so little relative enthusiasm for this design?
