How it started......
• In the 1960's Designer Brad Serhan's great uncle Bill
Mawer was head technician of a company that imported Quad valve
amplifiers and Quad electrostatics. This association was the
catalyst for Brad's interest in music and hi fi.
• Whilst studying electrical engineering at university
in the late 1970's, hi fi tweaking with fellow residential college
students provided Brad with a passion for loudspeaker design.
• In 1980 this passion culminated in Brad's first
loudspeaker project, a 3 way bass reflex design. These
loudspeakers were sold to the Senior Student of the residential
college and further sales to fellow students ensued.
• In 1984 Brad Serhan founded 'Orpheus Loudspeakers'.
The company's first model was the Dolomite. It proved to be the
first of several designs which were pivotal in the evolution of
Orpheus.
