Description :
In the mid 90’s, Gryphon decided to introduce the first true High End integrated amplifiers and conducted research into alternatives to pure class A. Our Integrated amplifiers, from the Tabu series to the current Callisto range, consequently set a new High End standard and proved that Gryphon was much more than huge Class A amplifiers. The integrated amplifier research was based on a series of prototype power amplifiers and the end result was a new Gryphon topology that can be described simply as supercharged Class A in all input and driver stages, with an output stage running a large array of high-current bipolar output devices in a cooler low-bias Class A mode.
This technology has proven its musical qualities in the Callisto range. We invite you to listen to our Encore powerhouse amplifier, confident that you will appreciate not only the muscle and brain of our new technology – but also its big heart .. Taking full advantage of major technological breakthroughs in the development of the reference Gryphon Antileon Signature power amplifier, the Gryphon Encore offers an astounding power output conservatively rated at 500 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms and doubling effortlessly to 1,000 Watts into a 4 Ohm load.
The Gryphon Encore has ample power to breathe life into even the most inefficient or reactive loudspeaker load. As is always the case with Gryphon, the Encore’s exceptional laboratory test results translate into a listening experience of stunning realism and emotional richness. The Encore’s dynamic capabilities strike a unique balance between authority and drive, delivering a rare level of energy in the extreme deep bass, while maintaining the integrity and timbre of even the subtlest nuances.
