A BRAND NEW PHI LOUDSPEAKER RANGE FOLDED TQWT, DTTP and EXOLINEAR aperiodic tuned pipes. PHI, in collaboration with [object house], has embarked on the design and manufacture of a brand new range of tuned pipe loudspeakers. The price range of our line-up has been broadened, ranging from affordable 'desktop' and 'bookshelf' loudspeakers to our customary high-end units, in both our customer and materials driven be[spoke] series and our per[form] range, where the fidelity is largely determined by the exact form of the loudspeakers. We have maintained our minimal Dieter Ramsian design aesthetic by using solid wood in conjunction with engineered materials. This latter will be the highest quality Finnish Birch Plywood, chosen for its appearance as much as its proven sonic qualities. Our focus, as always, is on full and wide range loudspeakers, assisted with appropriate high and low frequency transducers where deemed necessary.

PHI BESPOKE Our be[spoke] range remains an extension of this set of loudspeakers. Bespoke design and manufacture allows the use of any and all exotic and iconic drivers, boutique materials and components such as speciality capacitors, rare tone woods and gold and silver wiring. We adhere to our design principles and philosophies, but accommodate any client request supported by these constraints.

Siderium DTTP
The Siderium is our be[spoke] loudspeaker for the purist. Constructed from solid American walnut, it excels in any kind of music and has bass extension and clarity far beyond what would be possible with traditional designs. The unique DTTP (Double Taper Tuned Pipe) design is a world first and provides a level of realism, involvement and immediacy that compares with that of any loudspeaker, at any price point. Sensitivity measures 90dB/2.83V with a maximum rating 200W RMS, a minimal serial crossover filter network and bi-polar driver arrangement.

On the work bench: a folded TQWT As first offering and flagship of our new per[form] fleet, this loudspeaker employs a principle which cuts down on the size of tuned pipe speakers by folding the upper part of the speaker taper behind the lower part. The upward tapering geometry of the unit not only makes for attractive looks, but ekes the last drop of performance out of the already beautifully constructed German-designed driver set. Features include sensitivity in excess of 95dB/2.83V at 1m, an easily driven load impedance, a minimal first order filtering network and solid 30mm birch ply construction.

On the work bench:
our new TISHP* - successor of the phISH New, the improved entry level loudspeaker from our new per[form] stable, the TISHP loudspeaker type employs a shorter tuned pipe section from what one would expect from the frequency response, augmented by a reflex port. This cuts down on the length of this tuned pipe speaker allowing tall pipe performance to more budget conscious audiophiles. Upward tapering geometry, combined with a two-tone colouring scheme, makes for an extremely attractive loudspeaker with matching, all-rounder performance. Sensitivity calculates to around 92dB/2.83V with 100W RMS power handling and extension from 49Hz to past 30kHz. As always, a minimal, first order filter network is used in a serial configuration.

On the work bench: our new
OFMLTQWT*
- successor of the Cyclops New, an OpenFloor version of our well-received Cyclops loudspeaker. True to our new per[form] concept, the new Cyclops uses the same circuitry and drivers as the original be[spoke] units, but mounted in an attractive two-tone upward tapering tuned pipe. The original credentials of the Cyclops - high resolution, pin-point imaging and in-the-venue ambience - is maintained albeit in a much more elegant and simple package. The driver configuration remains bi-polar. Sensitivity measures to around 91dB/2.83V with 40W RMS power handling and extension from 47Hz to past 19kHz. As always, a minimal, first order filter network is used in a serial configuration.

ITFTQWT* As first offering and flagship of our new per[form] fleet, this loudspeaker employs a principle which cuts down on the size of tuned pipe speakers by folding the upper part of the speaker taper behind the lower part. The upward tapering geometry of the unit not only makes for attractive looks, but ekes the last drop of performance out of the already beautifully constructed German-designed driver set. Features include sensitivity in excess of 97dB/2.83V at 1m, an easily driven load impedance, a minimal first order filtering network and solid 30mm birch ply construction.

On the work bench: an E8WTP* An unusual loudspeaker type, the "1/8th wave Exolinear" is another strategy to designing loudspeakers not quite as tall as their quarterwave counterparts. We're currently working on a 400W medium to high efficiency example of this speaker type for our per[form] range, the intention being to create a loudspeaker comfortable with louder styles of music, without compromising the finesse we are known for. To this effect, high power high efficiency pro-audio drivers are used, housed in a sturdy 30mm Finnish Birch ply enclosure. Features include sensitivity of 94dB/2.83V at 1m, an easily driven load impedance and a minimal first order filtering network.
