| Thiel Owners I conquer Thiels need some serious high current amp to drive them, i would avoid the analytical ones and prefer the ones that are full body and organic. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. The Antileon has the warmest tonality of the Gryphon lineup, it is the most musical of the bunch.It is a big step up compared to the Diablo 300, everything is bigger and fuller.The Mephisto is a Formula one, very different from the ones below.It i... | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. I'd like to know from Diablo 300 owners what they think of the optional DAC module ?Is it better to puchase the Diablo 300 with the DAC module or choose a separate DAC ?Thanks | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300 Has Arrived: First Impressions. @rshad0000 Yes i'm familiar with both the Antileon Evo and the Mephisto stereo.It will come down to what speakers you have.I would recomment the Antileon Evo with speakers that are more anlytical and tend to be bright sounding.The Mephisto is rec... | |
| Thiel Owners Gryphon Antileon Evo is 34k in Europe so probably a little more in the US.I think it's overkill for CS 3.7s but it would be interesting to try out this amp on 3.7s.IMO a used Diablo 300 at around 8k is unbeatable to get the most out of 3.7s most l... | |
| cost no object integrated amps Thanks but 39k is not what i call same price range as Gryphon Diablo 300.Diablo 300 is 15k, i don't see anything that can compete in this price range other than T+A PA 3100HV.T+A is not as musical as Gryphon IMO. | |
| Thiel Owners There is one amp that has all the qualities required by 3.7s but unfortunately way too expensive for most Thiel owners it's the Gryphon Antileon Evo.1200w into 1 ohm pure class A. | |
| cost no object integrated amps Do you guys know any other high current integrated amps that could compete or even beat the Gryphon Diablo 300 in the same price range ?Thanks. | |
| Thiel Owners I just learned something from Rob Gillum regarding 3.7s.He told me that first generation 3.7s coax incorporated a silver bezel, latest generation have a black bezel instead of the silver one. | |
| Thiel Owners I agree Vandersteens are the ones that come to mind as the closest to Thiel sound and also build quality. | |
| Best 40 to 50k used speakers Did hear the Vimberg, i could not stay more than 5 min in the room that says it all... | |
| Thiel Owners I agree Luxman M900u would be what i'd choose if i couldn't find a Gryphon to drive 3.7s. | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel Thanks for your response, a couple of thousand is not bad at all but it is no surprise for speakers that were in the top 20 best speakers of all time and very reasonably priced compared to the competition.Even by today's standard they ca... | |
| Thiel Owners Does anyone know how many pairs of CS 3.7s have been sold worldwide between 2007 and 2014 ? | |
| Thiel Owners @thoft A used Diablo 300 would be within your budget about $8K.The Diablo 300 has everything a 2.7 or 3.7 needs : high current, organic and full body sound.Otherwise Ayre is great but you won't have the bass of Gryphon amplification. |
