Response D18

Click for Price

Further improvements have been made again with the cabinet, bass driver and crossover network.

The cabinet on the D18 is very heavily damped with a new material; it is also now side vented as other high-end models in the ProAc range.

A new high tech bass driver is similar to the D2, it however has a larger EXCEL magnet assembly and an acrylic damping phase plug.

The results of these combination of improvements are a deep beautifully controlled bass response, a fast electrostatic midrange with a sweet and detailed high frequency.

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

Gryphon Atlantis“With what I heard today from this entry-level Gryphon system, I know I could live happily ever after without thinking about another upgrade” - (Soundstage USA, Munich High End show report)"

Hi Fi Review Magazine of Hong Kong has awarded the Atlantis with the Product of the Year 2007 title.

ProAc D18Further improvements have been made again with the cabinet, bass driver and crossover network.

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.
