Angeboten wird „GRYPHON ANTILEON EVO STEREO AMP“ von Gryphon als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Verstärker (incl. Surround)“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 688379188 endet am 21.07.2026 um 12:42 Uhr.
This is a buyer’s market for this model at the moment: at €20,995, the ask sits just above the €20,299 median and comfortably inside the main used range, with the 25th percentile at €19,569 and the 75th percentile at €24,543. That makes it fair to mildly attractive, not a bargain-bin steal, but still priced sensibly for a desirable piece.
The appeal is straightforward: this is a highly respected Gryphon preamp, known for a very low-noise, highly resolving presentation with serious drive and control, so the upside is getting top-tier analogue refinement without paying new-retail pain. A good-condition example is exactly what I’d want to see; if the listing is complete and serviced sensibly, it looks like a solid buy rather than a project, with only the usual age-related due diligence on connections, controls, and provenance.
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.
