The Naledi is a visually stunning loudspeaker for the purist. It excels in jazz, classical and vocal music and has oodles of bass. The 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. We have just made a small change to the Naledi. It's making us sit down and listen to all our records, all over, as if we've never listened to them before.

The NALEDI ii – Technical details

Join two Voigt pipes back to back and open a port at the top of one of the pipes and you have a DTTP. Inspired by the physics of tuned pipes on high performance two-stroke engines and bolstered by a remarkable Kevlar driver specially made for us in China, we have added another model to our growing list of exceptional PHI loudspeakers. Simulations indicate a low frequency -3dB point of 31Hz and a -10dB point of 20Hz for a 5 inch driver operated full range. We have measured our first pair and the performance turned out much better than expected - the lows falling within +/- 3dB down to 10Hz in room. Coupled with very fast and crystal clear delivery, this loudspeaker excels on every level. The speaker pictured above, is manufactured from solid Bubinga with slabs of medium density fibre board on the inside of the front and rear baffles to stabilise the wood and damp resonances. The pipes sound exceptionally clean and play with an ease uncommon for any loudspeaker. Sensitivity turned out much higher than expected - we attribute this to a very minimal crossover (only one component) on the high sensitivity super tweeter. As is usual with PHI products, the look of these units equals their performance.

The NALEDI ii

 The Naledi sells at a retail price of R25 980.00 (about $3200) per Bubinga / African Rosewood pair. The prices for speakers made in other wood types will be made available on request.
