Pros and Cons of the Gryphon Trident II speakers


I am changing my speakers and need some advice on choosing the right one.  First I’ll list my equipment. 
DCS Rossini DAC and Clock,  Spectral 30 SV preamp,  Krell FPB 300c,  Wilson submerge subwoofer,  all transparent reference cabling.  My room size:  16.5 x 25 x 20’. Behind the listening chair is no wall the room opens into the rest of the house.  This eats up bass like no tomorrow but my sub helps with that.   Ive owned many many speakers,  infinity RS 2b,  B&W 801 s3,  nestorovic system 16, Avalon radiant, soundlab ultimate, Martin Logan CLS 2,  and ML prodigy, Wilson DAW, Alexia 2 and Alexia V,  Alexx V x2. I sold my Wilson Alexx V because wanted a change.  My music preferences are very broad,  Jazz, blues, some rock, classical,  new age,  guitar music.  Looking for a speaker that gives me all the information,  very dynamic, low level detail but not bright sounding unless it’s in the recording,  I hate speakers that sound vailed. I like   Snappy and fast but I want to hear all the overtones and woods of certain instruments.  Love uncolored details and neutral. Looking at the Gryphon Trident II or on the smaller side the Mágico M3

Responding to what sticks out to me first, after, you have owned a lot of really good speakers. Is that having the space open behind your listening chair is a huge benefit. If there was a wall there, then you would be struggling with reflections. Anyway, that is a good thing. 

Since you have owned such a broad selection of great speakers I have to ask a bit about your purpose. Do you enjoy the process of changing your speakers and are looking for the next good set to audio or are you looking to find a set of speakers to complete your system and to keep for a decade or more. 

Nothing wrong with your hobby being swapping out speakers and experiencing different sound characteristics. In which cans the Trident II are probably your best next speaker, since sounds like you like bass and detail. The Magico are extremely neutral and are often to much so for all but the most carefully chosen electronics. 

If you are looking to upgrade your system, and are starting with speakers. Then I recommend spending a long time visiting and listening to speakers until you find the house sound you are looking for. You have had so many great speakers. If you have not yet found what you are looking for... I would recommend finding the right speakers and then carefully choosing and replacing one or more components to achieve the perfect sound you are looking for. 

There are lots of different ways to appreciate high end audio. 

My search is not just finding the right speaker, I have enjoyed most  all the ones I have had. Just like to change it up once in a while to experience different ones. 

Just wondering if anyone has heard the Gryphon speaker. Their electronics are everywhere but not the speakers.

I didn’t see Rockport on your list so I will recommend the Orion and if you are looking for endgame get the Lyra. Good luck !
