Gryphon Antileon Sig Mono vs Ref One Mono


Has anyone compared these two mono amps from Gryphon. The Ref Ones were supposed to be the best ever amps from Gryphon and no cost is spared in making them. I wonder how they stack up against their latest Antileon Mono.

No one has heard these amps? What a shame as I believe these rank among the very best amps, tube or ss, on the market. I have heard the stereo Antileon Signature and I was blown away.
Thanks guys for the responses. I have a pair of ATC SCM 100SL Passive and a pair of SF Extremas, speakers that love high current amps. Yes Kops, I agree with you that the Stereo can drive most speakers on the market. Just need some opinions on the bigger brothers.
Pedrito,
I am considering both the Antileon Stereo and the Encore. Can you tell the difference (I don't mean minor ones) between these two? I also think that the Monos are overkill.
Pedrito,
Great thoughts and thanks. As for the preamp, I am considering the new Gryphon Mirage, the Allegro and the MBL 6010D.
Aldavis,
Actually, I'm also thinking of the REF 3. Based purely on looks, the MBL 6010 D would be my first choice but I've heard reports saying that it may sound a bit shrill and harsh. Any experience with this MBL pre?
Johnpf4,
Your comments will be a great help in my decision making. When I buy audio equipment, they must not only sound great, they must also look great. That eliminates a lot of contenders.
