Building upon technologies pioneered for Gryphon’s revolutionary EOS 2, the larger EOS 5

adds Full Frequency Range performance (20-40,000 Hz, +2 dB) and shattering dynamic

capability. All four drivers are bespoke to EOS 5: the 6.5” Midrange and dual 9.5” drivers

utilizing the TPCD™ (Thin-Ply Carbon Fiber Diaphragm) cone construction and Impulse

Optimizer Rings which first appeared in EOS 2. As with EOS 2, the cones are manufactured by

one of the world’s leading fabricators of Formula 1 components while a smaller (29mm)

Beryllium Dome Tweeter has been purpose-engineered for EOS 5’s higher crossover point.

Engineered to present an easy amplifier load, 90 dB sensitivity is coupled with a 4 Ohm

nominal, 2.9 Ohm minimum impedance.

Visually, EOS 5 shares the faceted, jewel-like enclosure aesthetic created for its smaller sibling.

Internally, however, the Line-Dampened porting system offers a unique solution to smoothing

airflow in this larger, wider-bandwidth loudspeaker. Like the EOS 2, the new EOS 5 benefits

from two design flourishes which enhance placement versatility across a wide range of

listening environments. A three-position Tweeter Level Switch offers 0dB, +2dB or +3dB boost

to optimize off-axis dispersion in the greatest variety of domestic spaces and seating

arrangements. Once again, Gryphon’s custom-manufactured adjustable spikes are equipped

with removeable, integrated dampers to provide the most stable speaker positioning on

flooring either with or without carpeting.

The trio of colors—Soul Red Crystal, High Gloss Black and Stealth Grey—selected for EOS 2

are joined by a remarkable new finish: “S-Mat Black.” A next-generation, matte black paint

used here for the first time in loudspeaker manufacture, S-Mat Black features a “Self-

Healing” chemistry which, in the event of small scratches, can actually be repaired with the

help of a piece of parchment baking paper and an iron used at low heat, which encourage

the paint to re-flow and regain its normal, unblemished surface.
