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

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).

I would love to find an older Sphinx Model 16 for my Apogee Scintillas.

I don't know... Specially because prices in Brazil are no parameter to the rest of the world, due to the incredibly high import taxes.

Pj24 used to cost around USD 22 thousand. PJ 18 costs around USD 12 thousand (Brazilian Prices)

I would bet that PJ 22 will cost something around USD 12-16 thousand in US.

I am very pleased with my Myth 5. Excellent piece of gear.
