The Gryphon EOS 5 Loudspeaker, a–State-of-the-Art Towering Achievment Debuts At HKAV 2023–
Woodcliff Lake, NJ, 16 August 2023: Gryphon Audio Designs ApS, designer and manufacturer of Ultra-Luxe Audio Systems, introduced its EOS 5 Tower Loudspeaker on 11 August at HKAV (Hong Kong Audio Video) 2023.
Building upon technologies pioneered for Gryphon’s revolutionary EOS 2, the larger EOS 5 adds a Full Frequency Range performance (20-40,000 Hz, +2 dB) and shattering dynamic capability.
All four drivers are bespoke to EOS 5: the 6.5” Midrange and dual 9.5” drivers utilizing the TPCD™ (Thin-Ply Carbon Fiber Diaphragm) cone construction and Impulse Optimizer Rings which first appeared in EOS 2. As with EOS 2, the cones are manufactured by one of the world’s leading fabricators of Formula 1 components while a smaller (29mm) Beryllium Dome Tweeter has been purpose-engineered for EOS 5’s higher crossover point. Engineered to present an easy amplifier load, 90 dB sensitivity is coupled with a 4 Ohm nominal, 2.9 Ohm minimum impedance.
Visually, EOS 5 shares the faceted, jewel-like enclosure aesthetic created for its smaller sibling. Internally, however, the Line-Dampened porting system offers a unique solution to smoothing airflow in this larger, wider-bandwidth loudspeaker.
Like the EOS 2, the new EOS 5 benefits from two design flourishes that enhance placement versatility across a broader range of listening environments. A three-position Tweeter Level Switch offers 0dB, +2dB, or +3dB boost to optimize off-axis dispersion in the greatest variety of domestic spaces and seating arrangements. Once again, Gryphon’s custom-manufactured adjustable spikes are equipped with removable, integrated dampers to provide the most stable speaker positioning on flooring either with or without carpeting.
The trio of colors—Soul Red Crystal, High Gloss Black, and Stealth Grey—selected for EOS 2 are joined by a remarkable new finish: “S-Mat Black.” A next-generation, matte black paint used here for the first time in loudspeaker manufacture, S-Mat Black features a “Self-Healing” chemistry which, in the event of small scratches, can be repaired with the help of a piece of parchment baking paper and iron used at low heat, which encourage the paint to re-flow and regain its normal, unblemished surface.
The new EOS 5 will be available in early 2024 with an MSRP of 42.800 EUR ($49.800 US MSRP).

Something went wrong.
The EOS 5’s look fantastic. Would they synergize well in a primaluna dialogue premium preamp and primaluna dialogue premium HP amp with kt88 tubes? Marantz SA8005 as main source playing mainly classic rock at lower to mid high volume. Just wondering. Thanks,Mike
Hi
Seems to me like you own one of the finest integrated tube amps available.Bar none
The wattage should be fine I think….and you probably know that it can be strapped, I believe???? to produce more
[power). ????? Read here from what I found : https://www.primaluna-usa.com/dialogue-premium-hp-integrated
Thanks for your comment.
Howard, I have the primaluna separates. The D.P. preamp and the D.P. HP amp. With Kt88’s it’s putting out about 80watts per channel. You are right,they are some of the best I’ve heard and with the addition of another amp can be ran as monoblocks. Can’t afford those sweet EOS 5 speakers, but it’s nice to dream maybe someday! Currently driving Aurum-cantus M102semkII speakers. They sound excellent. Thanks again,Mike
Thanks MIKE for great comments,,,,,,,,,I cant afford them either but have heard their integrated amplifier, its not worth the money,,,,,,,,,,,,DarTZEEL is the amp of the world!
