Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
I suggest Audiovector speakers for Gryphon Diablo. They have an amazing tweeter  which is very quick but doesn’t get bright at all.   
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
Besides ordering the new stands from Mysound, I'm also seriously considering the GR Research Magnepan 3.7i kit, which is basically a vastly improved crossover. Just looking at the before and after graphs published on Danny's website, it looks like...

@mclinnguy Thanks for the Live Vibe rack suggestion. If you look at my virtual system you will see that all my racks are Live Vibe, including the two three-shelf racks and the one underneath my Vitus amp. This was one of the best investments I mad... 
Burmester 218.....
Zeusman’s system is pretty midfi. He has no business, pedigree, or understanding to be disrupting a thread about true hifi stuff like Burmester.

@mclinnguy All good points!  Where I find I am enjoying the "impact" is on leading edges of notes- like bass guitars- you know, the electric amplified ones. I get a little "punch" from the midrange driver that was not so noticeable with the plan...

Thanks, @lalitk .. your input has always been appreciated and honestly has played a huge role in how my system has evolved over the years.  
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
So it has been a few weeks since I received the new Magnepan 3.7i’s. I thought I’d share my findings -- good and bad, thus far ... First, break in is important for most speakers but probably even more important for the Maggies. Initially, they so...

@audioisnobiggie I don't think I understand your post. What is the point you're trying to make?  
REL S/510 subwoofer initial impressions
Give it another 50 hours or so. Also, what is the crossover and gain settings?  
Enough is Enough
Your dealer is right. Your system sucks! I’m happy to take it off of your hands for 25% of retail value. J/k 😃 all kidding aside, this is a great system that most of us would love to own.   
Current or Previous Harbeth Owners…
+1 @gryphongryph  I would also add that very few speakers do vocals like the BBC speakers. I would love to own the bigger Grahams some day. When I first heard them, I preferred them over Harbeth 40.2. However, I think 40.3 has closed the gap consi... 
Current or Previous Harbeth Owners…
I owned Buchardt S400 when they first came out. Very different speaker with different target audience. If hearing the nth level of detail is the goal, then I agree Harbeth is not the right choice. Both are very good speakers though.  
Do speakers need to be re-broken in?
@mclinnguy The dealer told me they were his demo speakers. It's possible they weren't broke in yet. I played them for maybe 40-50 hours before sending back. In retrospect, and after reading your impressions I might have been hasty in returning them.  
Do speakers need to be re-broken in?
@mclinnguy Apologies, didn't mean to hijack your Horning thread. But it will still be interesting to learn more about how they compare to Magnepans at some point.  
Do speakers need to be re-broken in?
@mclinnguy I'm glad that you're finally happy with the Horning Eufrodites. Will be interesting if you can share how they compare with your other babies -- the Maggies :) I've recently added a pair of nice, and very fast, subwoofers to support my ...
