Gryphon vs. D'Agostino


To anyone who has had the opportunity to hear both, please compare and contrast the latest Gryphon and D'Agostino amplifiers.

You are confused. No point in pushing this in any further. The M400 more than delivers its rated specs. It's not a debatable point; it's a fact.

They don't double down to 2ohms as you first wanted readers to believe, with these figures you posted
D'Ag does exactly the same thing. My M400s:
400 watts @ 8Ω
800 watts @ 4Ω
1,600 watts @ 2Ω

As I said they come close with these being the tested figures 
405W into 8 ohms
640W into 4 ohms
1115w into 2 ohms
And are still a good indication they can deliver good current, it not a debatable point it's fact as independent measurements confirm.

You're not getting it.  You need to do your research to properly understand what you are commenting on.  This is my final comment on this point since you don't seem to want to let it go.  The Stereophile review is of the old model M300 and not the M400 which is the current model.  Can you guess what the output of the M300 is vs the output of the M400? Hint - it's in the name. 
bar81, let me tell you 100%, no amp in can double it's impedance as you showed from 8 to 4 to 2ohms below. It's impossible as there are many losses. It would be like having perpetual motion which is a dream.

I guess Dan D'Agostino is lying to a lot of people. I am so disappointed now that my Progression monoblocks are not rated correctly (sarcasm)! I will call the factory tomorrow to confirm what you are stating is true. As you already know George these amps replaced the ARC Reference 250 SE tube amps which indeed sounded great on everything even old bright discs but could not drive the Maxx 3's to the levels I have obtained with the Progression series amps.
