Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120

If the Gryphon sounds dark to you, why are you trying to fix it with bright speakers?  I’d look for an amp that doesn’t sound dark to you and then maybe your KEFs will sound great.  Why are you bending over backwards to accommodate this amp?  Just move on.  

I’ve now owned or demoed Pass Labs class A, Luxman class A and AB, Conrad Johnson, Audio Hungary, Rogue amps at my house. The Gryphon 120, in my limited experience, is the overall best sounding amp I’ve had here. It’s simultaneously the most detailed and dynamic amp I’ve personally experienced when matched with a complimentary speaker. It has a propulsive quality to it that is pretty addicting. 

Without that complimentary speaker in place, it’s as if the treble energy got turned down by a hidden soundboard master who had too many beers the night before.

Looks like the Gryphon 120 owners seems to look for bandaid instead. And the following statement confirms this:

I'm using Focal Electra1038 speakers with my Diablo 120 and think they match great.  My Focal's are known to be bright with the beryllium metal dome tweeter and I found can be bright/fatiguing with solid state amps but with the Diablo 120 sound great. Find them very good for low level listening, very detailed.
