Danske Gryphon lager ikke puslete ting. Ingen batteridrevne Bluetooth-høyttalere. Ingen lydplanker eller mikroanlegg. De lager bare verstingsaker som disse: Trident II Reference Loudspeaker System. Og de gjør det skikkelig.
Gryphons CEO Flemming E. Rasmussen er ikke kjent for å ta snarveier, og det har neppe skjedd her heller.
De røslige gulvhøyttalerne har 1 kW innebygget bassforsterker, og er altså aktive. Men bare i bassen. Resten av høyttalerne må drives av en separat effektforsterker.
Gryphon oppgir frekvensresponsen til 16 – 40,000 Hz, -3 dB, litt avhengig av rommet og q-dempingen av høyttalerne. Fire 20 cm basselementer, to mellomtoneelementer og en Air Motion Transformer bånddiskant, utgjør bestykingen i Trident II. Som skal koste 97.000 Euro.
