Really? I think the new components look beautiful.To bad their latest amps are lacking the good looks that Rasmussens designs had. That big triangle on the front is not attraktiv. Seems like output and size wise they are following in the footsteps of Dan In his maddest Master Reference Krell days.
I guess he is loosing his touch !
The Essence does not live up to the older designs in the looks department either ! In my personal opinion, and all that ! I like the new stands though. Nice interview !
This seems a bit odd to me after the introduction of the Ethos CD player, my vote for the most beautiful CD player ever.I guess he is loosing his touch !
I thought I read Eur85K for stereo and 160K for monos?

Wow...what an import tax. Isnt Eur165K approximately USD$187K? That is one of those odd things about certain products...the F/X sets the same product in a completely different price band in comparison with a local product. The D'Agostino Relentless in UK is £240K I think...and $250K in the US. The Apex is $240K in the US it seems...but only £160K in UK. So £80K or 1/3 less than the D'Agostino.
Yes, that is a very good point. Direct sales model.And Gryphon no longer have a distributor, they have direct distribution, so the price should not be that high.
Show me the money sukers

I'm sure it's just me but if one spends this kind of money for amps, shouldn't the stand be included?Actually, here is a press article showing EUR and USD pricing which is lower in USD:

Its funny that you say that...I kind of agree. In fact, I specifically would say on behalf of both sides (Seller and Buyer) if Gryphon just included the stand and increased the price by 6K, I dont think anyone would blink.I'm sure it's just me but if one spends this kind of money for amps, shouldn't the stand be included?

Yeah the Wadax sounds very good but it is pretty ugly.
