Dynaudio, Accuphase, JadisCongratulations - nice system. As for the DA88 I think it will be a great move. I like Dynaudio as well but a pair of Guarneri Homage or Mementos could also become a nice option for you.Reg... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

Closer to the real thingVery nice sounding Daveyf! - the Gryphons are great as well - both great choices for the GH's.I would say that the Jadis is a tad more musical, particullary with voices, also creates a grea... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
Closer to the real thingI am in the process to re-install a Jadis amp instead of the Gryphon - I am hearing more life, light and musicality thru the Jadis vs the Gryphon (whioch are not bad at all).Will post new p... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

Closer to the real thingDave - It is a very different kind of speaker (comparing AG to SF). The AG were more expectacular, fast and covered a larger piece in the audio band BUT they always sounded to me inconsistent (bass... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
