Matter

MATTER Loudspeakers was founded in Athens by Fanis Lagkadinos and Evgenia Panagiotopoulou. Fanis is a co-founder of Ypsilon Electronics, where for many years he wound the transformers inside every Ypsilon product. Along the way he co-developed Ypsilon's ribbon tweeter and the loudspeakers the company used at shows and to evaluate its electronics.

Today the two Ypsilon founders each follow their own path: Demetris Baklavas leads Ypsilon Electronics, and Fanis designs MATTER loudspeakers. The shared roots remain: at High End Munich 2025 the Anti-MATTER played with a complete Ypsilon system.

Design the unconventional, materialise the emotion.

No cabinet, no box colouration: every MATTER loudspeaker is an open-baffle dipole.

Rather than refine the box loudspeaker once more, MATTER builds electrodynamic three-way loudspeakers on the open-baffle principle: lighter and relatively compact, without a cabinet that stores energy and reflects it back to the drivers. The heart of the Anti-MATTER is MATTER's own ribbon tweeter, a further development of the Ypsilon design.

The names come from physics: Evgenia is a high-energy physicist who worked on the ATLAS experiment at CERN, as well as a singer. Barcanova BV represents MATTER through authorised dealers. Find a dealer or contact us about prices and listening.
