Anyone heard the Gryphon Trident?


Hi, I am researching on these speakers, which are self-powered below 250hz. Can't seem to find a review.
Would appreciate feedbacks from folks who have heard or owned them.
Thanks.

In price comparisons keep in mind that Trident has a 1000 watts poweramplifier build in, thus requiring only low power amplification for mid and tweeter drivers.
Only speaker playing at the unich show was the Atlantis. Trident and the rest of the line was on static display at 1st. floor.
Alectiong - The amplifier inside the Trident is not a Class D amplifier but a dedicated Gryphon Class A/B amplifier. 1 meter of heatsink of the backside is hinting at this...
Besides that, Tuboo is right,. merely "driving" a speaker is not the questions. There is no substitute for listening with your own ears, but given the high sensitivity and uncomplex load of the Trident, very low power is required and from a technical point, a tube amplifier could do the job, but subjectively it could be a poor choice.
