Hi Davetan, a good friend of mine is a Gryphon dealer. I took home the Tabu for a week and was very impressed with it's performance. It is rich sounding with very good dynamics. No lean mean sound with the Tabu. Not your typical SS sound. Much better than the Goldmund integrated which my friend also sells. I believe the Tabu retails close to $6000. Might be hard do better with separates at this price. BTW, the Tabu loves the FIM PC.
