WHY BESPOKE? WHY PRODUCTION
MODELS?
In an extensive
re-evaluation of PHI as business, we have decided to
narrow our focus on a small number of
production-line loudspeakers and leave more exotic
products to the bespoke side of our company. The
production line per[form] loudspeakers are in no way inferior
to our be[spoke] products. They simply focus on tried
and tested designs by streamlining production in
order to bring down costs. Most of our designs are
in fact small elaborations on bespoke loudspeakers;
we simply make material and driver choices where in
our be[spoke] range these decisions are left to the
client.
Our ranges do however
have different price points or tiers. Usually these are
determined by size and efficiency. Larger speakers
cost more to produce; high-efficiency drivers are
costlier and usually need larger enclosures. This is
true for both our be[spoke] and per[form]
lines.
Utmost care is taken in
both the design and manufacturing processes a PHI.
Only proven and tested materials and components are
used, regardless of the line or the tier the product
occupies. As always we focus on natural solid wood
and superior Finnish birch plywood as building
materials. We employ fullrange drivers in all our
models, when needed augmented with supertweeters and
subwoofer drivers, and only employ first order filter
components and crossovers, usually in a serial
configuration rather than parallel.

Delivery
PHI has, for the eight years it has been in operation, continued to
impress every person who has had the opportunity to audition our
products, many claiming that these are the loudspeakers they have had to compare
with
any loudspeakers they've since encountered. We are confident of continuing,
if not improving upon, this tradition.
