Gryphon Diablo 120 vs. Luxman L-509x


I’m going to get straight to the point;

Please share your impressions on the Gryphon Diablo 120 vs. Luxman L-509x.  I have the Luxman L-509x paired with Spatial Audio X5 (i.e., open baffle speakers), so I am familiar with its performance.

I know I need to hear the Gryphon myself, but I’m still interested in your impressions until I can get my hands on one to audition myself.  No need to recommend other brands, my focus for this post is to get your listening impressions with the Gryphon Diablo 120 vs. Luxman L-509x.

Thanks in advance!

I don’t know about the comparison, but the Gryphon is such a unique, beautiful, and state of the art product that you just can’t go wrong with it.

Have you managed to compare the Gryphon Diablo 120 to your Luxman L-509X? If yes, I would be interested in your thoughts.I read that it’s slightly darker sounding than the Diablo 300 with reduced vice-like grip in the bass. Nevertheless, still typical Gryphon sound but with less of the "magic touch" of its bigger brother.

The Diablo 300 is too heavy and chunky for my preferences though apart from the higher price.
