iirc

'phaze' audio made and/or marketed tube amps (somehow affiliated with
butler) and metal coned speakers before and after the ppi acquisition...

i found a page to confirm while i was composing this:
http://www.butleraudio.com/bk.html

i believe they are what captain howdy referred to when he said, "Here is
another inferesting fact that many people are unaware of, PPI used to
sell gear under the Phaze Audio name."

...
In late 1997 or early 1998 - Ted Guenther and his sister, who owned PPI
sold
the company to Phase Audio. PPI came under the direction of Phase Audio
and
was shortly broke. From there it was sold to Orion/Ads and then on to
Directed
Electronics.

In its original state - PPI had good products and an excellent reputation.
Directed is huge and has the ability to revive PPI given time.
