BHK300 will be ok with 3.7s but a good used Diablo 300 is still the best option IMO.Gryphon has now very good distribution in the US with Philip O'Hanlon.

@thoft There's no way your going to drive 7.2s properly with this Adcom, you need to find Krell FPB 400CX for 7.2s.You'd better look for 3.7s much easier do find, best amp for this model is by far Gryphon Diablo 300.I might buy a pair of Thiels fo...

@thoft Your looking to purchase 3.7s or 7.2s ?7.2s are really difficult to find and you better have very beefy amp to drive them like Krell FPB series of today's Gryphon.

Hi guys does anyone have owned 2.7s and 3.7s on this forum ?Any difference except bass ?@jafantĀ  congrats on your integrated amp purchase i hope you will be enjoying your rig now. 
Spectral audio today
@shubertmaniac I don't think you can compare a Spectral system to the Alsyvox-Koda-Wadax system that you mentioned.This is an ultra high end rig for people with unlimited budget. 
Help me decide my next amp
Hegel is the way to go in this price range.

@eganmedia I completely agree with you, i care much more about the sound quality than the fancy look.That's why i'm also looking at brands like ATC and Spectral audio. 
cost no object integrated amps
I absolutely don't agree regarding the Audionet Watt being close to the Humboldt.The Humboldt is in a complete different league, you get 90% of Stern-Heisenberg sound for a fraction of the cost with the Humboldt.The humboldt is uber transparent an...

@gosta I'm impressed at how you were able to fit a pair of 150s in your mid size listening room.You need some serious room treatment with these beasts.I'm gonna try to audition the 100 model as soon as possible.Cheers.

@gosta which model ATC do you have ?I'm looking at model 50 and 100 depending on room size, the 150 is way too big for most people.I would drive them with Spectral monoblocks therefore i should pick the passive ones ?

@graystoke I have the same problem here in France, no more Spectral distribution since many years but i can go to Italy for an audition.Spectral pre-power with ATC speakers could be an option for me.

I will still give a chance to the Magico A5s never know.

Coming from 23 years with Thiel speakers it's very difficult to like Magico or Wilson audio.I do like ATC type of sound and big TAD.Also not a fan of MBL even if i have the budget.

TAD ref 1 is a good option thanks like them very much.
