| 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. | |
| Spectral audio today Guys Spectral's most recent SV series is in a complete different league compared to what they've done in the late 90s early 2000.They have made huge progress in the midrange frequency, it is now very organic and natural sounding not thin or analyt... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara Congrats on your 3.7s purchase let's see how you like them.I might follow you soon as i'm contemplating a pair of 2.7s and a Gryphon Diablo 300 to drive them.I have to postpone my big reference rig project for the next few years b... | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara Not really worth upgrading, what you mostly get is the speakers are a little easier to drive therefore more amp choices other than that it's not night and day.If you really want to do it most ex Thiel dealers can do it for you | |
| Thiel Owners @yyzsantabarbara Yes the crossovers were upgrated in 2012 just before the end.You can purchase them from Rob Gillum if you want to upgrade. |
