Gryphon Trident

The ongoing adventure of exploration
and re-invention that has defined the exceptional Gryphon loudspeaker
range continues with the Gryphon Trident.  Like its acclaimed
predecessors, the Gryphon Cantata and Poseidon, the Gryphon Trident
is based on rare insight into the true needs of the music enthusiast,

Gryphon founder Flemming E. Rasmussen elaborates, “It began with the
Cantata, the first stand-mounted, compact two-way design to deliver
High End realism in small to average sized rooms.  Then, the audiophile
community demanded to hear what we could do if there were no
constraints on size and price.  Our answer was the Gryphon Poseidon, a
four-tower system that occupies a considerable piece of domestic real
estate.  That generated requests for a single-enclosure, full-range
system that could perform to the same high standards in somewhat
smaller rooms.


Living up to the high standards that set Gryphon loudspeakers in a
class all their own, the GryphonTrident achieves the theoretical ideal of
all drivers operating in phase at all times at all frequencies.

This monumental achievement involves a unique configuration of
dedicated onboard 500 Watt bass power amplifiers in conjunction with 7
extensively modified Danish drive units per speaker (four 8” woofers, two
5” midrange units, one Scan Speak Revelator ring radiator high
frequency drive unit), hand-adjusted Constant Phase crossovers,
proprietary Q Control room integration and a non-resonant enclosure
weighing in at 195 kg per channel with a carefully calculated time-
aligned front baffle curvature.

The musical importance of this achievement is immediately appreciated,
as it effectively prevents any veiling or smearing in the temporal domain,
allowing the Gryphon Trident to re-create the original acoustic event
with laser-sharp clarity, alacrity and precision.

Open-ended finish options

Trident side panels incorporate Gryphon SideSpin, an innovative modular construction that makes
removing and replacing them child’s play, offering the Trident owner the option of re-dressing and
updating the exterior of the loudspeakers at any time. This also opens up the possibility of having multiple
panels on hand to match changing moods.

Gryphon SideSpin, a service unique among loudspeaker manufacturers offered exclusively to owners of
Gryphon Poseidon, Trident and Cantata, is yet another example of how things are done differently at
Gryphon Audio Designs.

System Audio SA 1550 There are people who use sound as a source of inspiration and spiritual enlightenment. People who are enraptured by the rhapsody of a symphony orchestra. People who bless the blues from Chicago. People who crave the way guitar greats can make a Stratocaster talk, cry or sing. They feel at home in the subtle, sublime and swinging art of jazz. They can’t resist the blistering tempest of a full-blooded rock orchestra. Or the rarefied tones of baroque. They know intimately every song sung of their favourite vocalist – and treasure every nuance of every note. SA creates loudspeakers for these sorts of people.
People like you. At only £749 these may be the biggest bargain ever for a beautiful speaker

ProAc Tablette Reference Eight SignaturePossibly the best small speaker in the world, we know of no other speaker this small with genuine audiophile quality. No expense has been spared sourcing expensive drive units for this design and boy does it show!

To sum up: Clean and detailed sound, especially beguiling in the midrange; convincing soundstage, with rock-steady image; plays loud without losing sonic balance; superbly made

ATC SCM 50 ASL I was instantly drawn into musical events. Music was occurring in my room. My experience was of a live event, even if the recording was made in a studio. For me, almost any live musical event has an excitement, whether I like the music or not. When the music is performed with particular feeling, it not only captures your attention, but it captures your heart and plays the strings of your emotions. - Positive Feedback extract

Zingali Home Monitor 212-IIHave a listen to a good emotional female singer like Eva Cassidy. If your jaw dosn't drop then I will be checking for a pulse. grown men have been known to fight back tears before these speakers.

"Within seconds, I sank into a state of bliss. It may have been the music, the volume (just shy of "live"), or the heat in the room (from 150 glowing tubes!), but whatever it was, I remained transfixed for the next 45 minutes"
- Soundstage The 2002 Jimmy Awards

Gryphon PoseidonThere are Loudspeakers and then there is the Gryphon Poseidon, In our opinion the best loudspeaker system in the world bar none.

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.
