+100 @soix Looks like the Gryphon 120 owners seems to look for bandaid instead. And the following statement confirms this:

I'm using Focal Electra1038 speakers with my Diablo 120 and think they match great. My Focal's are known to be bright with the beryllium metal dome tweeter and I found can be bright/fatiguing with solid state amps but with the Diablo 120 sound great. Find them very good for low level listening, very detailed. |
You’re not disappointing anyone here, and in fact we’re just trying to help. If you don’t agree with some of the suggestions being made that’s fine. The thing is, the KEFs aren’t dark sounding speakers so it’ll probably be a tough ask to find speakers that are bright enough to counteract what you feel is the amp’s sonic signature. Another way to go might be to try different cables — what speaker cables/interconnects/PCs are you using now? It’s possible that adding something like silver interconnects could inject some of the air/sparkle up top you’re currently missing. Just another idea FWIW, and best of luck in getting where you’re looking to go. |
