@rshad0000  YG Hailey 2.2 and Dynaudio Confidence 50.The best combo was with the Hailey 2.2s at least for my taste.I'm seriously considering the Humboldt that's why i auditioned most top integrated available.This is the best route if you want separates performance without the hassle of many boxes and the extra cost of more cables and racks.
I'd rather put more money on speakers and source.Since i live in Europe the Humboldt is more reasonably priced for us.Cheers
Do you guys know any other high current integrated amps that could compete or even beat the Gryphon Diablo 300 in the same price range ?Thanks.
Thanks but 39k is not what i call same price range as Gryphon Diablo 300.Diablo 300 is 15k, i don't see anything that can compete in this price range other than T+A PA 3100HV.T+A is not as musical as Gryphon IMO.
The best one by a wide margin is the Audionet Humboldt and i have heard the Vitus SIA-030, CH Precision I1, Dartzeel CTH-8550, Gryphon Diablo 300 and T+A PA 3100 HV.
You get 90% of Stern-Heisenberg combo with the Humboldt.
I absolutely don't agree regarding the Audionet Watt being close to the Humboldt.The Humboldt is in a complete different league, you get 90% of Stern-Heisenberg sound for a fraction of the cost with the Humboldt.The humboldt is uber transparent and ultra fast, you get a huge holographic soundstage, very solid bass and very smooth organic sound.It is not cold or analytical at all.IMO It is the world's best integrated up to msrp 50k period.Second place you have either the Vitus SIA-030 or the d'Agostino Momentum integrated.Third place you have CH Precision I1, Absolare integrated, and Aavik U-380.
Unless you have the budget for Stern-Heisenberg get the Humboldt.Watt and Max series is midfi compared to Stern-Heisenberg and Humboldt.Just my two cents.

I've heard the ASR Emitter ll in 2014 paired with Thiel CS 3.7s, great combo very smooth sounding but too many boxes need a lot of rack space.I think it's difficult to beat the Diablo 300 in that price range.
I purchased a Diablo 300 to drive my Thiel CS 3.7s and i'm very happy with this combo.For my next rig i'll be looking at Audionet Humboldt or Pilium Leonidas to drive a pair Borresen 03 Cryo Edition.I'm going to try to audition the Leonidas at some point.

Hi folks, i've owned the Diablo 300 for a year and now sold it for a Vitus SIA-025 Mkll.

I was surprised at how much difference there is between them.

The Vitus delivers much more current than the Gryphon, i was shocked.

I now have a much deeper and cleaner bass on my power hungry Thiel speakers.

Regarding musicality, engagement and body it's not even funny how much better the Vitus is vs the Gryphon.

I've been told that the SIA-025 Mkll is even more musical than the SIA-030.

SIA-030 is more powerful and faster but not as musical.
