    Default Ocellia calliope grandis signature .21 speakers. F.s.

    http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/ocellia/ocellia.html

    When you have half an hour to spare, have a read here.
    Then especially note the bit that says
    “Between what I heard at Ocellia and PHY, I'm supremely comfortable to pronounce already that absent of ultimate bass extension and heft below about 35Hz, the Sound From Panjas was the most refined, non-mechanical, liquid, organic and resolved sound I've experienced yet”

    Interested?
    I might be selling my pristine pair soon. Lightly used, carefully kept. But increasing tinnitus and domestic situation means they have hardly been used. Will be £7250. (List over £12K)
    I have the packing boxes but would rather they were listened to and collected –or I’ll deliver within 100 miles of Bristol +
    No non-UK sales.
    They are a special speaker. Once heard, kept.

    What struck me most when I heard these at Chris's place a few years ago was the astonishing performance at low levels.
    Jaw dropping transparency, delicacy, presence and resolution without any need to turn the wick up, although they could certainly do loud as well.
    I've not heard that sort of ability to that degree before or since.

    Definitely listen to them first... blind buying would be madness here.

    They are quite Marmite I think.

    Stunned by Jerry's lovely appreciation of these! The fiver's on its way!
    Such a subtle way to value their qualities, and on the button!

    I'm in no hurry to lose them-comments like this reminds me to listen again.

    Fiver not needed, Jerry speak truth..... Or at least, my honest opinion.

    Not the speakers I would choose for Justin -style "slam rock". But simply astonishing for low to medium level moderate scale music.

    Perhaps more marmite than most speakers, but very easy to fall in love with with suitable musical genres.

    A must-hear if you have the £spondoolies, imo.

    Just to give you all a warm feeling inside, some lovely music. I loved the way people in Spain -a country I love - found ways to protest Banking hassles.
    And,Jerry, this sounds pretty good on Ocellias!

    Cheer your life up with wonderful music. Makes the apparent troubles of the world recede-for a while!

    (And, just think, somewhere in the world there's a craftsman making these wondeful things)
