When I visited the Gryphon store in Singapore I was surprised at how large the speakers and amps were. Impressive.

Mike's look good.
 
I heard the Gryphon Pantheon speakers driven by the Diablo 300 amp all three days at RMAF last October. They sounded fantastic. Phil was playing his favorite reference recordings. I must say I was super impressed.

The Pantheon’s are large, dominating speakers. They are not only tall, but very very deep. The d’appolito design places two 8 inch woofers on the top and bottom (porter at the back), along with two 5 inch midrange drivers along with a super fast AMT Tweeter.

The bass woofers and mids are enclosed in man made enclosures inside the speaker which significantly reduces cabinet vibrations.

The speakers are rated flat down to 25hz (-3db) and they definitely don’t lack for bass and have no issues pressurizing the 19 x 25 room in the store.

I’ve spent some time already dialing them in and as anyone who’s worked with an AMT tweeter before, knows, the AMT demands careful attention to get just right. The laser is your friend here. Off axis listening is excellent, no doubt due in large part by the AMT tweeter.

I’ve played some orchestra pieces and was very impressed with the scale at which they imaged.

I plan on letting them run for about a week straight to get broken in. But so far, color me VERY impressed.

and at RMAF those speakers were missing the outboard footer assemblies so were not optimal. whichever dealer that had them prior to RMAF had forgotten to ship those. so Philip had to use generic footers.

agree they were still very nice sounding.

Well maybe not as weird as the time you loaned me those Avantgarde Trios and we tied one of them to the luggage rack. :yahoo1:

I was not familiar with Gryphon and walked into that room and was very impressed as well, and went back each day.

Aside from a gripping dynamic sound from a hotel convention room, I remember in place of the grill cloth looked like rubber tubes or something, and thought that was trick as the whole system.

Very nice, Mike! How long is the break in? I assume you’ll upload a video or two when you’re ready? :)

Thanks Khin. Going to give them a couple hundred hours. I’ll definitely post some videos.
