Plinius 9200 or Gryphon Callisto 2200


Has anyone been lucky enough to do a compare/contrast AKA A/B of the 9200 and 2200?
If not, has anyone out there owned the Gryphon Callisto 2200 and could give me some indication of it's sound? Any Pros Vs Cons?

Any info is always helpful.
Thanks in advance,

J.

I had the Gryphon Callisto 2200 for over 1 year.
I borrowed, a stor demo Plinius SA-102 and CDLAD to compair with the Callisto since the prizing was very close.
Together, the Plinius combo beated the Callisto in all parameters, except one! The Plinius are not dead quiet, the Callisto is.
Otherwise, the impact and drive, the openess and intense feel good factor of the Plinius combo crumbled the Gryphon Callisto 2200.
My friend which was with me just laughed. He told me the "little black amp" was a bore in compairson. I agreed!
I am not biased. I owned the Gryphon Callisto 2200 and CDP1. I bought the Plinius rig. I don't own any of these anymore. The CDLAD was easily bettered by Classe CP-47.5/65 together with Plinius SA amps. Plinius and Classe mate very well actually.
Just another opinion, but anyway.
