There are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, which we now have on shop demonstration. We are the premier High End dealer in the UK, where else can you hear products of this stature. I could say the Poseidon's are awesome and amazing, but more than that they are truly majestic and magical. So often the quality of a product is overstated by reviewers in order to make a magazine review seem more interesting. It would be most difficult to overstate the sonic abilities of the Poseidon. The development and, in particular, the actual production of Cantata with its innumerable tailor-made components gave Gryphon valuable experience and the courage to bring to market an even more ambitious loudspeaker that had been in the works for nearly two decades.

The Gryphon Poseidon Reference Standard Loudspeaker System can only be described as an open window, utterly transparent to the onginal recorded event with remarkable dynamic headroom that re-creates the true power and tall weight of live music, both in the subtlest details and in the effortless expansion of an orchestral crescendo in a large-scale symphonic piece

For loudspeakers, the essential definition of “the best that they can be” can easily be summed up in a single statement: “All drivers must be in phase at all times at all frequencies.” The hard part is making that happen in a real room with a real loudspeaker.

Initially on a strictly informal basis, an in-depth exploration was undertaken that would take full advantage of Gryphon’s assembled expertise and extensive experience in design and manufacturing to transform this theoretical ideal into real-world products with scant regard for such details as pricing, parts availability, prevailing attitudes and preconceived notions.
