Have you been enjoying your Gryphon Diablo 120 integrated ?

@ryder - Thanks for sharing the update! Wish I could have been there to witness the unveiling and to see your first impressions of the new amp first hand. In my mind, it is a step up from the Luxman 590axii. I’m stoked you are finding joy with it. 
 

I bought my Luxman without auditioning very many amps. I now find I’m trying to find a way to justify keeping it by trying to make it work in my office system. This might be harsh, but I almost feel the Luxman is best suited for a bedroom system where you want something intentionally without much of an edge…

Are you planning on selling the Luxman? Or possibly moving it to a different room? 

Thanks all. I’m delighted to have gone with the Gryphon.

@bluethinker I’m not decided yet on the Luxman. Apart from the 590AXII, I have another pre/power and an integrated which are unused. I don’t have the space to set up another system so I have surplus amps and another pair of speakers sitting quietly in a corner. My earlier intention is to swap amps and speakers once in a while when I get bored but figure out it’s not exactly a practical thing to do. Perhaps I’ll continue to keep all the amps before I decide if I will need to sell some.

I still love the Luxman and wish to keep it as a backup. I tried to set up a bedroom system but the speakers took up too much space and didn’t sound good due to limited placement options, so it’s a failed attempt. Smaller bookshelves which are designed for close placement to wall boundaries might work but I didn’t pursue with the plan and stuck with the main system in the living room.

I have vowed to stop getting new hifi and start selling the existing ones, sooner or later.

Words can't describe how happy I am with the Gryphon Diablo 300. It sounds massively different from the Luxman 590AXII. It's very good, a complete amp even though there's better (333 and Essence).

Essence separates should be better. There is almost always something better somewhere but you've got a great amp that should work fine for decades.

+1, at least if you have fairly efficient speakers, but I have heard people who think that the D300 has better bass. Always something better, or at least different, somewhere.
