Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
I would have picked the wood finish for my speakers if I could have. When I bought them, it was just after the D3 generation was launched. I wanted to like the D3 line as they were more detailed in the mids, but no matter what gear I paired them w...

Excellent points Bubb - I’ve definitely had room issues in the past and can see how frequency correction count have helped.  At this point I don’t perceive any issues with my current room.Regarding the amp display lights, I didn’t know you could s...

Congrats Bubb!  While the current D3 generation B&W's are fantastic, they may not be my first choice for my tastes.  But I don't know of any amp they would sound better with than the Diablo 300!  So far I've not felt a need for any EQ, I've tr...

Interesting, but before going there I’d want to see some recommendations/comparisons from reliable sources.   But I’ll check out his site / CAM anyways, thanks!

You are very lucky to have access to dealers that stock gear you are interested in AND offer in-home demos.Unfortunately I’m stuck with in-home demos of gear I don’t care about, or in-store demos of gear I do care about!

With my Gryphon, I was worried and thought I may not be totally happy with the sound, as with most gear I’ve bought in the past usually I’m not entirely happy, especially in the first month. This hesitation was due to testing the Diablo with diffe...

Thanks, and nice system!

ricred1 I don’t think I asked - what amp, and what else do you have in your system? 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
Yes, I’ll be hopefully testing well reviewed lower priced cables (Audience, Clarus, etc) as well as the firebirds/Valhallas of the world.  There are many that prefer the sound of lower priced cables.  Am very interested in the Gryphon too, which o...

Also Inna, do you happen to know the retail price for the Gryphon VIP Reference speaker wires? 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
Yeah, good advice all.  And yes Inna I’ll be taking your advice too and seeing if I can get my hands on some Gryphon speaker cable, as well as other premium cables.  I am open to testing all cables I can get my hands on that are well reviewed.  Th...

Agreed.  But the odds are they’ll sound good based on the multitudes of positive reviews each with different equipment!  That said you are right and I will be patient and play it safe, and pass up this deal for the time being.  They confirmed no r...

I've yet to read a single review, from a forum poster or pro reviewer, who had anything bad to say about the Clarus Crimson.  Everyone's reviews seem to be extremely positive regardless of the equipment - unusually so.  And multiple individuals ha...

Yes, 8ft.  I know it’s still a lot of cash, but at this price (which seems way less than the prices I’ve seen reported) I’m thinking this could almost be considered temporary as I continue to do more methodical testing, over the course of say, a y... 
Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions.
Ricred1 and others, I have a question. I’ve reached out to Clarus directly via email and they confirmed pricing of $1235 for the single wire version of the Crimson, and $1580 for the bi-wire version. This is a fifth of the retail price according t...
