Description
Gryphon Antileon Revelation : Stereo Power Amplifier
Each chassis incorporates 40 high-current bipolar output transistors (2×40 in Mono configuration), 2 x 335,000 μF (1 x 680,000 μF, per mono channel) of ultra-low-ESR capacitor banks, and a pair of custom-wound 1,500 VA toroidal transformers (four in Mono pairs), all housed within a meticulously crafted, resonance-controlled, constrained-layer-damped enclosure. The Antileon Revelation Stereo weighs in at a commanding 90 kg, while a Mono pair exceeds 180 kg—mass that speaks directly to its monumental engineering.
Operating in Pure Class A, as has been Gryphon’s unwavering signature since the original DM100, the Revelation iteration pushes the envelope further still—delivering 160 Watts per channel Class A (RMS into 8 Ohms). This is not theoretical power—this is raw, continuous energy available at all times, granting the Antileon Revelation absolute authority over any speaker load, regardless of impedance or complexity.
With such profound current delivery, the Antileon Revelation transcends the conventional amplifier/speaker relationship. It does not interact with the loudspeaker—it dominates it. Reactive loads, impedance dips, and back-EMF are rendered irrelevant, leaving only the music: uncolored, uncompressed, and uncompromised. Unlike other amplifiers that combine brute force with audible harshness or sterility, the Revelation offers both power and grace—a seamless fusion of muscularity and nuance that preserves the finest textures of a performance.
At the core of the Antileon Revelation is Gryphon’s enduring principle: to reproduce music with absolute neutrality. It adds nothing, takes nothing away, and avoids the seductive trap of “euphonic coloration.” The Revelation exists for those who refuse to settle—for listeners who demand not a version of the truth, but the truth itself. It is a product not of compromise, but of conviction. A statement for the rare audiophile whose reverence for artistry drives them to pursue the source, unfiltered and unveiled.
