Gryphon Audio's Trident II
The Trident II continues to use Gryphon Audio's constant
phase technologies "to ensure that all drivers are in phase at all frequencies at all
times," Gryphon 1000-watt bass amplification, and proprietary Q Control for improved
room integration. |
ike its predecessor, the
Gryphon Audio Trident II (€97,000 per pair) is a semi-active, seven-driver speaker
system. However, the Trident II's enclosure is taller and slimmer than that of the speaker
it replaces, and it uses an Air Motion Transformer high-frequency driver in place of the
Scan-Speak Revelator tweeter. The low-mass, high-surface-area AMT driver promises flat
frequency response and "lightning fast transients," according to Gryphon founder
and CEO Flemming Rasmussen. "Our observation has been that most 'Mark 2' versions are
simply trivial bug fixes promoted as major breakthroughs," he went on to say, but
"[the Trident II's] technological advances made real improvements possible, so it
made sense to pass them on to music lovers."
