About the Colosseum Solo
The Gryphon Colosseum Solo is a pure Class A monoblock power amplifier delivering 180 watts into 8 ohms in a single-channel configuration, with zero global negative feedback and fully balanced, dual-mono construction. It employs a very large power supply with a 340,000 µF capacitor bank per channel and massive heatsinking in Gryphon's distinctive, sculptural vertical chassis to maintain constant Class A operation. Protection is handled by a sophisticated, non-invasive system with no current limiting or other signal-degrading effects, safeguarding the amplifier against DC, short circuit, and overheating while leaving sonic performance unaffected. The Colosseum Solo is no longer in production and has been succeeded by later Gryphon monoblock designs.
