Pantheon
While it would be arrogant to refer to The Gryphon Pantheon as a “compact” loudspeaker, it is, despite its imposing, stylish presence, the slimmest floor-standing model in the exclusive, luxurious Gryphon Audio Designs loudspeaker range.

Constant Phase, Constant Musical Joy
In keeping with every Gryphon loudspeaker before it, the Gryphon Pantheon incorporates specially developed constant phase technologies to ensure that all drivers are in phase at all frequencies at all times, eliminating deleterious slurring in the temporal domain, allowing the Gryphon Pantheon to re-create the original acoustic event with holographic realism and ultimate resolution.
Drawing heavily on proprietary, innovative technologies and customised parts developed for and introduced in the Gryphon Pendragon and Trident II loudspeakers, the Pantheon lives up to the same exceptional standards of musicality, build quality and stylish design for an enhanced musical experience with soul and vitality.
Gryphon Pantheon is housed in a sleek, tall, massively braced enclosure with precisely contoured modular baffle and driver surrounds and baffle covering carefully selected and applied to effectively address baffle reflections and eliminate diffraction phenomena.
High Frequency Energy and Clarity
Like all
Gryphon loudspeakers, the high-frequency range in the Gryphon Pantheon
is handled by an extraordinary Air Motion Transformer (AMT) drive unit
that moves air by driving an extremely low-mass folded metal sheet in a
semi-perpendicular motion via a powerful magnetic field for
instantaneous response to the audio signal.
Because of its large
surface area, the pleated structure moves a large air volume with
minimal diaphragm motion, for a highly desirable point source sonic
presentation. Eliminating fundamental issues of mass, inertia and
internal resonance, the AMT high frequency driver offers lightning fast
transients, combining flat frequency response well beyond 25 kHz with
extremely low distortion and a total absence of compression.
Exclusive Danish Triple-Magnet Drive
The cone drivers are custom designed for low Q and minimal dynamic compression to our exacting specifications by an internationally respected Danish driver manufacturer.
The dual 8” bass drivers have been specially developed and mounted in a precision-tuned reflex chamber to achieve levels of bass extension and power rare in any loudspeaker, regardless of size and cost. The triple-magnet motor system ensures maximum force and focus.
The tightly focused, ultra-linear triple-magnet system is also implemented in the dual 5” midrange drivers in order to ensure total control of the motion of the layer-damped fiberglass cones. Specially developed surrounds match the geometry of the driver diaphragm and the dust caps are non-deformable, low-mass and highly rigid.
Seamless Networking
To achieve the ambitious objective of perfect phase at all frequencies and realize a truly seamless integration of the selected drive units, a fourth order filter network is utilised based exclusively on the finest components (Duelund, Jensen, Holm, Mundorf) in a layout carefully calculated to eliminate electromagnetic interaction and fitted to a decoupling platform to prevent vibration.
Incorporating the very best high current, low-loss foil capacitors and low distortion, low saturation inductors with negligible DC resistance carefully selected for their sonic and electrical characteristics, the hand-adjusted Pantheon crossover network performs with impeccable precision and transparency. The purpose-built components are hard-wired with special Teflon hard-insulated silver solder.
Minimal internal wiring with Gryphon Teflon insulated, silver-plated oxygen-free copper is employed. The crossover connects to a power amplifier via custom designed Gryphon screw terminals that ensure a tight and durable electrical contact.
