Gryphon EOS 2 Launch Event - A Fun, Well Organised Event

 

2023 started with a bang with the first hifi event organised by YY Audio and Reference Audio Singapore over the weekend of 14th and 15th January. This Gryphon EOS 2 Speakers launch event was held in The Concorde Hotel, Kuala Lumpur where 3 different set ups was showcased. The main set up featured the EOS 2 speakers in which kept me entertained for 1 hour solid. The EOS 2 was matched with top end Gryphon equipment such the Ethos CD Player, Antileon EVO Stereo power amp, Essence pre amp. 

We also had the pleasure to listen to Rune Skov, Gryphon Global Sales Director briefing of what the EOS 2 is all about Another marvelous piece of engineering translated into a mesmerizing performance of musicality. Have a listen to the Chit Chat with Rune and Han to know more about the speakers and also the future plan for Gryphon in Malaysia.

How would I describe the EOS 2 performance? I purposely sat at the very rear of the room to see how these relatively small-ish floorstanders performs in this large room. Rated at 89 dB sensitivity, the EOS had no issue to fill up the room while maintaining its musicality, fluidity without any signs of strain nor stress. One can enjoy the music regardless where you are seated in the listening room. 

The overall performance leans towards good clarity and details. really sweet and melodious highs with no signs of high pitched signals. These are complimented by subtle but impactful bass response.

Priced at Euro 22,000 a pair, it is one of well engineered speakers. Each aspect of the speaker designs serves a purpose to the overall big and lively sound delivered during the session.

The 2nd Set Up

 

The 2nd set up at the event comprised of a simpler equipment. An integrated Diablo 120 and an ASUS MiniPC streamer as a source matched with a pair of Magico speakers.

The 3rd Set Up

The mighty Gryphon Pantheon speakers was set up in the 3rd room matched with the Diablo 300 and Melco streamer and CH Precision DAC as source. One can appreciate how beautiful the Pantheon is in both looks and performance. It will definitely deliver more if it is paired with a pre and power combo amplification. 

 

Overall, this was actually a very well organised event by plus it was all fun to be able to enjoy music with other fellow audiophiles. Kudos and congratulations to the organiser for this wonderful event especially to the lead project manager, Mr. Shaiful Anuar Sulaiman.
