Ophidian Voodoo Flagship Floorstander Announced

Ophidian's Voodoo has announced as its new flagship floorstander.
The Voodoo from Ophidian is a 1.3m tall three-way floorstanding loudspeaker that, of course, features the British company's unique Aeroflex bass loading system.
The new flagship sits where the impressive P3 Evo once did and is equipped with dual 265mm drivers, these feature thick black anodised aluminium cones, dual voice coils and triple shorting rings to reduce distortion to an absolute minimum, says Ophidian.
We are informed that the Voodoo loudspeakers can cleanly displace over an inch of movement while producing solid bass extension down to 26hz.
The 180mm mid-bass drivers also feature black anodised aluminium cones with solid aluminium phase plugs. Furthermore, this is set within its own damped sub-enclosure. The manufacturer says that by isolating the mid-bass driver, the external walls of the cabinet no longer colour the sound.
A 22mm fabric soft dome tweeter with a Sonomex dome is employed for the high frequencies. This features a large magnet for excellent transient response. In addition, the large roll surround allows high power handling and a smooth response extending beyond 20khz.
The crossover exclusively uses high-quality parts from Mundorf, while the binding posts are from industry leaders WBT.
The Voodoo sits on a plinth that is CNC machined from a solid block of aluminium and weighs 11kg alone.
The Ophidian Voodoo will sell for £14,000 inc. VAT in a Walnut finish. Custom high quality polyester paint finishes will be available for an extra charge.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
