Has anyone heard a Gryphon S-100?

I'll check my old Stereophiles, but it wasn't a pretty review, and as I said it was completely at variance with my experiences with the amp. Did you check the S-phile site to see if it's in the archives?

I heard an S100 on two occasions back in the early 90s. It was driving both Avalon Ascents (very well) and the notoriously power-hungry mbl 101s (Belfran's post shows the power this thing has, he's spot on), and quite frankly was the best sounding amp I'd ever heard with the mbls (I'd previously heard Cello "red-eyes" Performance monos, the Gryphon monos and Jadis JA 500s). I believe it got a negative review from Jonathan Scull in the S-phile in the early to mid 90s, which surprised me because my experience with the amp was it was powerful, beautifully controlled the speakers and had a very rich, full-bodied, dynamic sound. Since that review I think Gryphon has kept a lower profile here. I think it is a fine amp, better than many of the more hyped names out there, and superbly engineered.
