Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC


I am constantly trying different audio gear and love seeing what works best with my system of the day lol, and that system today includes Focal Sopra 2’s and maybe a Lumin X1 only if needed. I have had the Gryphon Diablo 300 in the past and loved it also not opposed to grabbing another one. I am open to others like the Hegel 590 that has a full blown streamer Dac which is a major plus as well any other that can rival those 2 at a 15K or less price point.

Thanks for your help

Your Focals 2’s are almost the same to drive as the 3’s. In the bass they are very hard to drive with 2.7ohms and -56’ phase angle so don’t wimp out on the amp.
Get the Gryphon Diablo 300 all the others here that are mentioned can’t match it’s current drive into low impedance, and it’s that will get the very best out of the Sopra’s bass. Not to mention it has stunning mids and highs.

" as fig.1 shows, the Sopra No.3 is a difficult load for an amplifier to drive, with a minimum magnitude of 2.75 ohms at 96Hz and a combination of 4 ohms and a –56° electrical phase angle at 68Hz, both frequencies where music can have high levels of energy."

I think the int 250 is the equal of the D300
Sorry not in current into low impedance like 2ohms it's not.

The Gryphon Diablo 300 intergrated, I believe has no equal for 250-300w with very high current. 300w-8ohms 950w-2ohms

As the OP asked "best High Current Integrated".
The Dartzeel can’t do anywhere near the current the Gryphon Diablo can.

As these show, Dartzeel, 230w-8ohms and 435w-2ohms
Compared the Gryphon’s 300w-8ohms and 950w-2ohms
