Offered is „Mephisto Solo“ by Gryphon as exhibit from the category „Power Amplifier“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3545828494 ends on 20.12.2026 at 20:22 o'clock.
At €46,000, this is a genuinely ambitious ask, sitting well above the comparable-market 75th percentile of €16,812 and over five times the €8,927 median. Even allowing for the Mephisto Solo’s rarity and prestige, the price needs exceptional provenance or unusually complete condition to look compelling; otherwise, negotiate firmly.
The amplifier itself is serious high-end hardware: a pure Class A monoblock designed to deliver 200 watts into 8 ohms and enormous current into difficult loads, with a substantial power supply and very low output impedance. It is particularly attractive for demanding, low-sensitivity speakers where effortless control matters. Before considering this level of spend, verify whether the listing is for one amplifier or a stereo pair, and insist on original packaging, accessories, service history, and a proper audition.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Gryphon Audio Designs emerged from Denmark in 1985, founded by Flemming E. Rasmussen as a passionate offshoot of his distribution company, 2R Marketing. What began as a spare-time project—a compact, dual-mono phono preamplifier known as the Gryphon Head Amp—quickly gained acclaim after debuting at the 1986 Chicago Consumer Electronics Show. Japanese distributors snapped it up, and the audio press hailed it as a "Best Buy," propelling Rasmussen to establish Gryphon as a dedicated entity by the early 1990s, free from import distractions. The brand's name draws from the mythical gryphon, symbolizing the fusion of lion-like power and eagle-like grace in music reproduction.
Gryphon specializes in uncompromising high-end electronics, starting with its legendary class-A phono stages and evolving into high-power amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated systems. The company expanded into full-system solutions with the 2002 Cantata stand-mount speakers, followed by flagship models like the massive Poseidon in 2004. Today, its portfolio encompasses speakers, the groundbreaking Apollo turntable—a collaboration with Helmut Brinkmann and Ortofon—and even cables, ensuring every link in the audio chain aligns with Gryphon's neutral, optimized design philosophy.
Positioned firmly at the pinnacle of high-end audio, Gryphon commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its visionary engineering and sonic purity, often setting benchmarks since its inception as one of Europe's earliest true high-end pioneers. Rasmussen's team-driven approach yields products that prioritize musical essence over compromise, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance in home systems.
