Description

After using Krell Amps, Mark Levinson Amps, B&W Matrix 800 Loudspeakers, Avalon Eidolon Diamonds and several others i fell in love with the Wilson Sound when i heard Wilson Grand Slamm's with Audio Research Amps at my dealer.

I could not believe what i was hearing the sound actually sounded real. I purchased the Grand Slamm's on the spot but have since upgraded to Alexandria's.

Now upgraded to Audio Note Dac 5 Signature.

2012 upgraded to Gryphon Mephisto Pure Class A Mono's weighing 240lbs each and Audio Research Reference Anniversary Pre-Amp.

Hi quite a system ! I keep hearing good things about Gryphon, what amps did you move from? I am in the process of considering new amps for my Wilson Maxx 3's. Using Ayre MX-R's right now and wonder if it's time to move to tubes...but great pure class A....So can you comment on what you are hearing?

Thanks in advance !
