Amp Around 60 lbs Which Sounds Like A Gryphon 300


I was just wondering if there is any integrated amp which sounds like a Gryphon Diablo 300 AND weighs around 60lbs or less.

To split the weight, go Mono-Blocks, and a preamp with remote volume ....

A balance control is nice with mono-blocks (nice in all cases IMO)

REGA OSIRIS integrated amp

The Osiris comes in at 17″ x 14″ x 5″ (WDH) and a hefty 56 lbs. Don’t let that fool you. This thing is a brick. It’s crafted from aluminum and has a very industrial look. It cranks out 160W into 8 ohms,

“ … Where once I wondered whether the Rega pieces could keep up with established, pedigreed leaders in their class, I now find myself asking whether competitors can in fact keep up with the Isis and Osiris. They really are that good...”

What’s your budget ?  The Coda class A amp 100 wpc in pure class A is one of best amps I have heard period , and I have heard far more then most , having owned aAudio store and in audio ver 40 years  and owning many quality pieces 

this-amp is$16k retail. But even a tube lover would love this amp . TheGryphon 

is around 85 pounds  the weight shouldnot be the deciding  factor just get an extra hand . once-its there it won’t be moved around , there are a couple otherDanish Amplifier companies pretty exceptional  I have  heard  .what speakers will they be driving equally important. 

A new acquisition strategy?  Buying amps by weight.  It won't catch on.

When I needed a cheap Japanese SACD player decades ago before multi-players I told the dealer I didn't need to listen to them, they all sound the same (was wrong on that).  I just picked them up and bought the heaviest, assuming it would be better made and have better components.  It was, and is, a Marantz.
