This is not a System! But getting there.Aaron, I would like to refrain from a full account at this point as the situation is still pending. What I can say is that the problems were well beyond what you describe and, despite immediate rep... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.The system has changed a bit, which is relevant for answering your question on Jorma Primes. I now have received the Continuum Caliburn and I have replaced my digital preference with a scarlatti sy... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Fernando, I very much like Jadis. Interestingly, a dealer has a combo of a Jadis pre with the Colosseum Solo from Gryphon and it sounds terrific. I agree that the older Gryphons did sound a bit... posted almost 15 years ago | View comment | |

This is not a System! But getting there.Kyyuan, actually I dont and I have been wondering about the system 9. I have heard things second hand which are not super positive, including some early runs having reliability problems. However, I... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.10ft tall cellos, haha, I wonder what multi driver speakers you have been listening to. Not my experience. In fact, these matters are more room than speaker dependent. By moving the upper diffuser ... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Hehe, I am being beaten up by Vitus affecionados!Amir, to answer your question, I listen to everything but mostly classical and some sorts of Jazz. I love classical but before the Gryphon P... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Amir,I appreciate your comments here and keep them coming. My only objection is in the part of your note where you are making assumptions about the listener, not the equipment. I listen to a to... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |

This is not a System! But getting there.Amir, lets agree to disagree, that is what is fun about this. I actually did own Marten Coltranes and I thought the combination was ok, although not dynamic enough to resemble reality. I think they... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Hmm, Amir, the Vitus amps I had definitely had "color". They were too slow and flawed in my opinion. Very rich sound and for some I am sure a preference, but not real. The newer models seem to have... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Well, I must say that although some similarities exist in the sound of similar technical designs, I dont find the very high end to be that consistent. for example, the transparency of Gryphon's Mir... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
This is not a System! But getting there.Bflowers, you know, these idioms tend to be used a bit too much. First of all, I am not quite sure about soulution as I have not had extensive listening with the amps. Therefore, I dont know if the... posted about 15 years ago | View comment | |
