| cost no object integrated amps Yes, it’s pretty expensive here. I believe it’s $40k. My issue is a lack of space so I may have to go and listen to one at some point. Thx | |
| cost no object integrated amps Thieliste,Interesting on the Humboldt. I heard the Stern connected to a gryphon colosseum on Vivid GiyaS and thought the sound was incredible. Actually preferred the audionet to the Gryphon pre. What speakers did you hear the Humboldt on?Thanks | |
| cost no object integrated amps I have Focal Evos and had the gryphon diablo 300. Great amp but found it to be a bit aggressive for my taste. Ended up with Octave separates which I absolutely love. I heard the Vitus Sia-030 on YG speakers and thought it sounded fantastic! If... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Very sorry to hear this. Wishing the best for his family during this difficult time. Like many Al helped me out as well. Great guy. | |
| Amps for Focal Maestros I have have Scala Evos and use Octave gear- HP 700 SE pre / RE320 amp with super black box(a must). Very happy with it and chose this over the gryphon diablo 300 I had before. Happy hunting! | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. I have Focal Scala Evos and use Wireworld Eclipse 8 with Platinum Eclipse 8 interconnects. I agree with the others that they are laid back and I think they match well with Focal. I’ve tried Nordost Tyre 2, Clarity, Tara Labs One, Clarus Crimson... | |
| Best Amplifier or Integrated for Focal Diablo Evo I upgraded from the Sopra 3 to the Scala EVO last year and at that time bought a Octave v80se with the super black box. I also owned the Diablo 300 at the same time so I was able to compare the two. At the end of the day I stuck with the Octave ... | |
| Best Amplifier or Integrated for Focal Diablo Evo I had the Diablo 300 with my Sopra 3s and thought it sounded very good. I never noticed it being dark but the Focal tweeters can be a bit hot anyway sometimes.I now own Octave gear with the super black box. I personally feel it is more to my li... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. thieliste,Have you been able to listen to the Mephisto yet? Out of curiosity, what about the antileon made you prefer that over the other Gryphons you listened to? I’m interested to hear how the sound changes as you move up their line.thanks | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Backup Power Battery Sales for the past 20 years and still going. Got in to car audio as a youth, then focused on home theater, and now finally two channel. Love the hobby!!! | |
| Is Classe SSP-800 Worth Repairing? I owned the SSP800 for several years and really enjoyed its musical nature(a little warmer) even for movies. I would have it repaired unless it is really expensive.Good Luck! | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match I had the exact same system you have. Diablo 300 with N10 and Sopra 3s. I did find it to be a bit edgy and intense with certain music but not like you are describing. I had wireworld eclipse 7 and never used silver cables. I have EVO Scala’... | |

| Chord Dave - Missing soundstage width I own a Dave as well and I’ve found that different powercords impact its sound. More so than other components in my system. I also agree with adg101 and ricred1s comments. | |
| Vitus versus Gryphon nasaman,I owned the Diablo 300 for a while and have listened to the Vitus sia-030 on Focals like I own. I think that supermerio’s comments above are “dead on” on all counts. I personally think that if you have neutral speakers that the Vitus si... |
