Default Gryphon Antileon Signature Stereo + The Sonus Faber.

I'm having an opportunity to try Antileon Signature. I think Gryphon is one of the best amps there is.
Now, my Krell 402 is up for a test against Antileon.










You Gryphon owners! How much better is Antileon EVO than Antileon Signature?

Apexorca.......The Sonus faber speakers look fabulous. I suspect they will sound very good with nearly all high-end amplifiers.

It's not small IMHO.

From top to bottom, performance is the best I've heard from any amp, period.

Beautiful system - how is your Gryphon? I bet that is one musical system.

Sorry for the late answer.

The same brutal power and control but with smother edges and at the same time with more micro details and resolution. It has slightly warm touch without missing the open, airy and fresh presentation and brutal power when needed. The lowest frequencies are airy and more powerful than Krell, even though Krell perform extremely well.

Krell 402 is a really good amp but Antileon is better in every aspect. They are not competing in the same league.
The best thing is that it's more musical.
The only thing to complain about is when I play very very loud, in a way you normally never listen to music. Krell had some extra power there.
The 150 Watt class A (all the way up to 150 watt for sure) feels like much more but not as several hundred watts more as you got from Krell Evo 402.

I think there are a lot of really good amps out there. Of all these, Gryphon is one of best.
