With the M Series, Ophidian proved it could produce 'larger than life' sounding loudspeakers that seemed to defy physics.
The two and a half-way P2 Evo loudspeakers are ideal for those tight on space, but still want a high quality loudspeaker. Many small speakers try hard to impress and produce bass in high quantities - Ophidian keeps the whole frequency range nicely balanced, allowing depth to be better appreciated.
ophidian p2 evolution loudspeakers
The P2 Evolution uses a 27mm Sonolex coated soft dome HF unit for a natural sounding high frequency response.
The dual 180mm SEAS mid/bass drivers used in the P2 are specifically built for the P Series, using lightweight aluminium cones and low-loss rubber surrounds for the fastest possible response.
Vibrations that are usually transferred to the cabinet from the force generated by the drivers - and those that usually make their way back to the drivers and front baffle are greatly reduced by using a 25mm floating front baffle, mounted on flexible gaskets, providing a cleaner, detailed, and more focused end result.
Plywood is used for the cabinet and internal bracing as Ophidian claim it to be stronger, and providing better internal damping than the more commonly used MDF.

Ophidian's Aeroflex technology is designed to do a similar job to a conventional loudspeaker port - produce extended bass from a small cabinet - but it does so without the negative side effects. Reflex ports usually produce a highly turbulent flow of air, which can produce port noise, and also drastically changes the bass depending on its proximity to the wall. Place your hand over an Aeroflex port and you'll hardly feel a thing. This makes the P2 Evolution more friendly, allowing closer proximity to walls with less bass issues, making it a very flexible little speaker.
