The story
Originally the company based in Helsinki, and in 2000 relocated to Kuopio. While Amphion began as a home loudspeaker manufacturer expanded into studio products in 2013.
The first model of the brand's home speaker line was the Argon, a two-way stand-mount model featuring a 6.5" woofer. Argon is described as the foundation model of Amphion speakers, with technical features including waveguide design and a low crossover point. After Argon, the company introduced the Helium, a compact bookshelf speaker, and shortly after the Xenon, a floorstanding speaker.
In the mid-2010s, Finnish microphone expert Martin Kantola, introduced a pro-version of Amphion's Ion model he had modified to Swedien. After the positive reaction of the Ion prototype from Swedien, Bernie Grundman and a few other renowned sound engineers, the company was inspired to create their own version of a professional product line. With some additional feedback from other audio professionals in Finland, Martin was hired by Amphion to design their initial professional-grade loudspeaker, which would later become known as the One12. After years of further product development with Martin, Amphion introduced the full five-model product range of studio monitors.
In 2022, Amphion moved from their previous location, an old service station converted into a factory, into a new, and much larger facility in Kuopio.
Amphion speakers are handcrafted using primarily Finnish materials. Amphion displays the Association for Finnish Work's Key Flag Symbol, which is given to Finnish companies making products in Finland with at least 50% domestic content.
