GRYPHON main selling market is Asia (often seen there).
In Europe their products are just too costly, power hungry, exclusive to be widely adopted. However, at least in France, the integrated DIABLO model with a fantastic look / build quality and a more decent price got a few aficionados. It is seen on forums or ads from times to times. GRYPHON amps all just look fabulous. Kind of fantasy with pure class A (except the two integrated).

Gryphon sings good with all equipment...allthough my advice is to match it with gear of similiar pedigree or you are not going to hear its full potential...so yes...it would make aidas sing...

Howie, I haven't heard the Colosseum amps, the last amp from Gryphon I heard was the Mephisto & the sound was very good. No doubt the Colosseum amps would take things to another level again.

Mephisto is Gryphons best amp so Colloseum couldnt take to another level cuz its in lower price range...but no doubt antileon sig. colloseum and mephisto are world class amps...Mephisto is my dream amp...for now i will be humbly satisfied with my Diablo integrated

[QUOTE=howiebrou;502168]I am seriously considering ordering a pair of Gryphon Colloseum Monoblocks 180W Pure Class A
Howie... go with the Mephisto , it retails for not much more . Unless ofcourse there are other reasons ... |

The Mephistopheles is waaaaay too big. The Cooloseums will be much more practical over here.

Try and hear them with the Mirage preamplifier.It is the best preamp I have heard,but I have not heard them all of course. The Mirage is designed to go with the colosseum.
