FM Acoustics Amplifiers
Prcinka,Have you compared the 266 with the 268? How does the 811 II compare with the other top ss amps gryphon, dartzeel, MBL, ASR, boulder, etc.?

Thanks for all the comments. Can I have more views and thoughts?

Are these really class A amplifiers? Judging from the casings, it doesn't seem like they are. Pure class A amplifiers have huge heat sinks (like Gryphon, etc.).

How does the Gryphon Antileon Signature stack up against the FM 811 MK II?

Thanks again, Gregm for your informative input.

Thanks Gregm. Which models of FM pre and power amps did you listened to? What other SS amps are competitive in performance? Is the MBL 6010D on par with the FM 268?

Thanks Prcinka for your input. Which model did you use? Did you also use an FM preamp? 
The best of Biggest, Baddest monster amps ...

Gryphon Antileon vs Antileon Signature
Nico,I believe the Antileon will sound great with most speakers on the market. Forget about the "brightness", "darkness", blah, blah, blah. All these jargon is for people who only care about finding faults with their equipment. The antileon will b... 
Gryphon Antileon vs Antileon Signature
Nico,My amp is 3 years old and it is a great match with my Extrema loudspeakers. Some may complain about a slight brightness with this combination but I believe the it could be due to two reasons: (1) the amp is not sufficiently warmed up (for me ... 
Gryphon Antileon vs Antileon Signature
Nico,I have no experience with the older Antileon but I do have the Signature version. My opinion may be biased but the Signature is certainly one of the best amps available at any price. The only drawbacks are the heat it produces and of course, ... 
Sonus Faber Extremas ?
sirspeedy,How do you add on the super tweeter? 
Sonus Faber Extremas ?
sirspeedy,I see that you are a great fan of the Extremas and I don't blame you. They look gorgeous and sound equally great when set up properly. While I like the performance of these speakers, the main reason I bought them was for their looks. The... 
Sonus Faber Extremas ?
I drive my Extremas with the Gryphon Antileon Signature and they just sound incredible. I have also heard them with Pass Labs XA 160 and CJ Premier 8A and they also sound great as well. I think any high quality high current amp should be able to d...
