$60k for the stereo and $120k for the Monos (or close to it )
It is one of the most tightly controlled brands. I’ve seen letters from the distributor where they are warning dealers that if they discount, they are terminated. Most of the diablo 300s you see on the used market are typically from dealers who took it on trade and 9/10 these aren’t dealers for the brand.
When it comes to the power amps, current amps such as antileon evo stereo and mephisto stereo have never been listed here. (U.S. models)
If you buy any Gryphon from Europe and import it, the U.S. Distributor (on a higher note) will give zero support nor approve any sort of work with their domestic service centers even if you are willing to pay for the service. This means that if let’s say you grab a pair of gryphon amps from Europe (220v) and they break , you must ship them back them to Denmark because you won’t get able to get original parts here since any ORIGINAL part that you need for it has to be approved by the distributor.
I know ALOT of folks who wait for a used current Gryphon to show up hoping for a deal (hell I was one) and you have higher chances of the coronavirus vaccine to be available than a U.S. gryphon power amp (current model) show up on the used market.
However, this is no different than what some retails brands do such as Louis Vuitton. Do you ever see a sale at their store during Christmas or holidays or black Friday ? Lol. Never. You either got the dough to buy that $2,000-$3000 dollar purse or you don’t.
My buddy’s girlfriend manages one of the largest Louis Vuitton stores in Chicago and she said that she (THE MANAGER OF THE STORE) only gets $3,000 dollars worth of total discount a year to use in the store and her sales associate can only do one item per year at a discount. Then I asked her , what the hell happens to the inventory that doesn’t sell and goes out of style ? She said they ship it back to France where it gets recycled and destroyed...
Yep...next time you see a lady with those Louis Vuitton shoes with red platforms remember those shoes are over $1,000 dollars and either her or her sugga daddy paid that.
Getting back to Gryphon, the line itself doesn’t exactly move or fly off the shelves for dealers (mainly the big boy amps) because yes it is expensive. This is what makes it HARDER for any used Gryphon amplifier product to show up used. (there isn’t an over abundance domestically).
Once that Colosseum listed online is gone, the market will be dry for a year or two before you see anything else (obviously there is always that one special case that one unexpectedly shows up, but it is not something repetitive like an audio Research preamp or McIntosh mc611 or 1.2kw, bryston amp, etc that are ALWAYS available online. )
I sold my Coliseum and didn't list it.
If you want to try Gryphon, that Coliseum listed is as good as it gets right now. Else, $39,000 for an antileon evo stereo or $60k for a mephisto stereo.
