goldmund 29m or gryphon antelion- tube like

I had the original 29 and found it to be supremely neutral and fast. In retrospect, it may not have had enough oomph in the lower registers. I now have the Gryphon Reference One Monos, precursor to the Antileon Signature Monos (and more expensive?), The Gryphons have a wonderfully natural sound with incredible air and depth. They also have better bass but they heat up the room like no tomorrow. Cannot go wrong with either but somehow I did feel cheated getting plastic binding posts on the Goldmund gear.

I second that emotion. My 29M is definitely tube sounding yet has real immediacy and speed. Definitely the best of both worlds. No more tube headaches and maintainence for this audiophile!

as an owner of a 29m i can tell you it is tube sounding.i previously had a pair of tenor 75wi's and believe the 29m sounds very close to the tenors in the mids and highs.i cannot comment on the gryphon but i do not think there is a ss amp much better then the 29m.you will not be disappointed.
