Paying $45k for any integrated cannot possibly be my idea under any circumstances. I didn't compare those two that you mentioned and I don't believe in anyone's hearing and objectivity unless I know this person, so this is meaningless to me. Your language only confirms my position. Yes sure, I would prefer used Antillion. Most used Gryphons that I see are in Europe or Asia, different voltage. Don't know what speakers. I would want to have as much current and power as needed for total control and effortless presentation.
By the way, if you buy Gryphon from overseas, they will not service it in the US, I talked to Gryphon US office, you would have to ship it to Gryphon in Denmark. Even voltage conversion is out of the question.
I have compared the D'Agostino Momentum analog stereo integrated with the Gryphon Diablo 300 in the same setup and system and in the same room. No comparison. The D'Agostino Momentum integrated crushed the Diablo 300. A used D'Agostino Momentum integrated can be had at around $25k ish and up.
