The "Naledi" – Technical details Join two Voigt pipes base to base 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 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 African Rosewood 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 quoted price is for the PHI Naledi made in African Rosewood. Prices for speakers made in other wood types will be made available on request.
