    Ron’s New System

    At this level it's all a bit "personal taste" as well I guess, I have owned the Acoustat model 3 for years, owned the Apogee Full Range for years, owned the Apogee Grand for years, and finally the Pendragons.... For me, I preferred the Pendragons. I'm aware (and won't dispute) that for others...

    Ron’s New System

    Hi Ron, just a little input from my side, having used the Pendragons for several years. With regards to the mid/high being too bright, I believe that that really depends on who is listening, and with my 60+ "old" ears it was just fine. However my son once told me that some music was indeed a bit...

    Incredible L1

    Gryphon Mephisto vs CH Precision M1 (M1.1 and M1.1 stereo in mono configuration) As I have owned all of the above power amps for an extended period of time, MY conclusion (which is indeed only my conclusion, not necessarily THE conclusion) is; Mephisto vs CH P M1, winner = Mephisto. Mephisto vs...

    CH M1.1 - Stereophile Review

    I do agree that the M1.1 amps sound better when warm. I used to switch them off in case of longer time intervals, so usually did switch them on on Fridays, and switched them off on Sunday evenings. (working out of town). As ambient temperature in my room is around 88F (31C) prior to switching on...

    Gryphon Antileon Signature or Antileon Evo

    There are many pictures on this forum, however at this moment I'm forced to sell as a result of the prolonged effect of the Corono Pandemic on my business. I hope to be able to buy into my hobby again in due time. The only item not put up for sale is the table/rack. (Shipping costs would likely...

    Yes, this wasn't planned. Luckily physical health is still okay, (unlike many others, so we shouldn't complain too much I guess).

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    Hi guys, this is to let you know that due to various reasons (partially Covid-19 related) I have decided to downscale, meaning that the equipment I have been using will be up for sale in the very near future. I don't know yet what I will buy back when the conditions have improved again, but do...

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    I do agree that a set-up as shown will work as well, however it would not be my preferred set-up, only in case the pre-amp doesn't have 2 sets of outputs. Basically in that case the Bass Tower amps become the connector, I believe that connectors are a weak link. (In fact where I come from =...

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    Ok, the bass towers have a XLR input as well as a XLR output. So basically from the pre-amp you feed into the XLR input. In case you wish to work with multiple subs, you can take the XLR output to feed the next Sub-amp. So you don't go from let's say the left base tower to the right base tower...

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    Hi Ron, I'm not using the "loop-through". Don't forget that the cross-over frequency is at 200Hz, so there is still a decent amount of frequencies higher than 200Hz presented by the woofer towers. Therefore I prefer to have left and right channel real left and right. so I use two separate pairs...

    Gryphon Audio Pendragon

    :D:D:D It looks like we have already 4-5 Pendragons' owners here, so indeed the Gryphon Pendragons are well presented in the speaker high end sector.

    Very close to perfect I believe. (as perfect may not exist;)) Congratulations

    CH Precision Amp

    For me besides the fact that it sounds good, it also should look good. The colors on the CH Precision screens as well as the colors I have used for the ambiance lighting are the same, so the main colors on the CH P screens are blue and red (only in case of playing SCAD it will be green). Just...
