I remember them. gr8 speakers! I had a pair of the 2-way floor standers model RT. Tweeters were super heavy and made in Switzerland, 8" long throw woofer with a seriuos transmission-line bass. Mirror imaged, phase aligned; these speakers blew away much more expensive ones. Played deep, tight bass; great mids and highs. I heard the same as you about what happened to the company. Shame, really. Did you know all components in their crossovers were hand-selected and impedance-matched specifically for the particular driver going into the cabinet, ie slight variations in speaker characteristics were accounted for so all Phase Research's speakers were consistent. Impressive. Wish I still had mine, but the butyl rubber surrounds wore out and I never did replace the woofers... wish I had of though.
The taller 3-way system had either the tweeter or mid-range sitting atop the cabinet and was the model RT/A.
