Won’t find a Gryphon for that kind of money, unless you get really lucky and it will be an older unit. If you can, try the Hegel H390. With a damping factor of 4K it will handle your speakers just fine. It’s actually quite small for what it puts out, dual mono configuration, runs reasonably cool, so can be used in tighter quarters, and it just sounds really good. I only sold mine to go to back to separates. |
Hello, great choices above. The Maggie’s need power. The Ayre Ax7 is light on power. Ideal would be the big brother but it’s $13000. The Hegel 390 is a great choice and it has a good DAC. The Maggie’s are the issue. So my recommendation is get the sound signature you like and buy a separate cheep amp for the Maggie’s to fun off the integrated. I did this with a Sony N80ES as the amp for the Maggie 1.7. Hegel sounds great with Maggie’s and Legacy speakers and the 390 has enough power for both. My local store can ship. https://holmaudio.com/hegel-music-systems/ |
