The voltage for those speakers was hardly a problem in Europe, as these were built-in, and TV sets did not even have transformers, unlike the US, and running off 220-240V AC mains.
Those Philips MFB speakers are now real collector items. They were not cheap at the time, and sounded OK, but the MFB system only affected the 12" woofer, the rest was mediocre. They were not a huge success at the time, the Philips brand was sullied in audio as the brand also appeared on toasters, vacuum cleaners and light bulbs
Genius marketing folks. Their consumer audio stuff was generally cheap and cheesy plastic galore. They made very good TV sets in some of their factories.
