Denon1- I have no intention of getting rid of my SF Amati’s. I agree with you, the speakers are spectacular.
When I listed to the Serafino’s with the Gryphon, the improvement in the bass was the first thing I noted. The speakers sounded much
‘deeper” than my Amati/Plinius system and also the woofers appeared much better controlled (tighter, less sloppy) by the Gryphon amplifier. I heard details in the midrange that I was unable to hear with my Plinius amplifier.
I heard improvement in the clarity of the highs such as cymbals, flutes, etc... unfortunately, my ears are not young and although untested I am certain like others of my age, I have some high frequency hearing loss.
