Does anyone know about Sphinx amplifiers?

I have been told that Sphinx was made by Siltech in the Netherlands. Were they ever sold here in the United States and what period of time? Are they still in business? I would also be interested in anyone's impressions of the amplifiers they made. Bob

They are excellent amplifiers, especially the project 24 and 26. Among the best solid state there is IMHO.

I have had Sphinx Myth 3 integrated a few years back and I also auditioned Project 2 mk 2 preamp with Project 12 monoblcocks in my system. They are fast, detailed but not too romantic.

Baranyi I 've auditioned the Sphinx 18, 24, 26 power amps.
Just got e-mail from Sphinx today and they are alive and kicking. Their biggest amp now is Project18, I wish they had a new Project24 which is a hell of an amp !

They are about to release a new amp, project 22 which should be very good. Apparently is gonna be a pair of monoblocks (smaller than PJ 26 though).
More to discover
