Well respected speaker manufacturer Cabasse, has launched a new range of speakers named the PHI range, designed to complement flat panel displays and offer uncompromising sound quality.
The PHI Floorstander retails for £899 pair and the PHI Satellites retail for £359 each with the sub coming in at £549.
In common with the Greek letter PHI, the speakers combine the simplicity of the line and circle in a tall and narrow cabinet that is finished in a high gloss piano black lacquer.
The proprietary co-axial midrange/tweeter driver is housed behind the hemispherical grille, the shape of which symbolises the spacial coherency, three dimensional soundstage and large sweet spot that make the PHI perfect for home theatre use or equally at home in 2.1 stereo systems.
A sophisticated three-way crossover filter is employed to optimise the performance of the co-axial drive unit in the 2½ way design. Treble and midrange signals are reproduced by the co-axial driver, with the low frequencies (below 680Hz) shared between the co-axial unit’s P2C (loaded polymer) bass driver and the separate 100mm driver. The drive unit configuration and slim cabinet shape ensure Cabasse’s principals of spatial coherency (referred to as SCS) are adhered to and present a very high sensitivity of 93dB.
The floorstanding PHI
The floorstanding speakers can be combined with the matching satellites and Santorin 21 active subwoofer, to create a home theatre system of the user’s choosing. The floorstanding version positions the co-axial driver at the ideal height for listening and the satellite, which utilise the same drive units, are supplied complete with the necessary accessories for on-wall or shelf mounting, either vertically or horizontally.
Available in a piano black finish, the PHI speakers reproduce with elegance and distinction all the subtleties of films, music and sound dynamics in stereo as well as in multichannel systems.
