1. Syntax: Gryphon never sold direct in USA 2. Vinylphobia: Gryphon never had such financial requirement to any potential distributor. btw Gryphon has a service center in USA for years, serving all US Gryphon owners. service@gryphon-audio.dk for details 3.The Companys hesitation to reenter the US market has nothing to do with any kind of ridiculous "Ethnocentric snobbery", as Lrsky claims, The hesitation is based on a business decision of waiting for the "right" distributor. Lrsky appears to have his own personal bone to pick with Gryphon. Gryphon would love to reenter the US market, as they also state on their website. www.gryphon-audio.com |
There is a lot of high-end European products being distributed in the U.S.A. Right now. There must be a reason why Gryphon is not being sold here. I saw on their website they are looking for a distributor in the United States. Maybe they are really difficult to work with. I can't see any other reason why it is not being sold here. |
That's a nonsensical comment. While there may be a lot of high-end European products being "distributed" in the US, many are represented only by a single dealer/"distributor", showing only a part of the line. Few Euro brands offer the range or scale of Gryphon, and to properly represent the line requires a major commitment from not just a distributor, but from dealers as well. Most dealers possessing the size and substance required to represent a line like Gryphon are well-established and have long-standing relationships with other brands. You can quickly verify this fact by looking at major US dealers--the few that are left-- and noting which are "Wilson dealers", "Magico dealers", etc. Most major speaker companies come with ready-made alliances with amp and cable brands. So--getting a full line, from source through speakers, into US dealers is very, very difficult. Gryphon is committed to doing it the right way--or not at all. I applaud them for that, and it's absurd to make pettifogging assumptions over their absence from the market. |
