Considering buying a used Gryphon Diablo 250


I have an opportunity to buy a mint Gryphon Diablo 250 at a very good price. I know it is not as good as the latest Diablo 300 but given than the price is almost a third of that of a used Diablo 300 should I be buying it?  Does the newer Diablo sound that much better?

One thing about Gryphon amps is they all have their own unique qualities. I think it would be difficult to answer your question unless someone has heard both to make the comparison. If it’s that inexpensive for you, give it a shot. Gryphons don’t come up too often used, if you don’t like it it would probably be an easy resell overall.

Jay posted this the other day on the hidden costs (especially now) of buying large amps that might need to go back to the factory. I wouldn’t let it scare you, especially if you’re able to audition it and there is a transferable warranty, but shipping both ways on your dime can get expensive these days.

 

Thanks guys, it has sold to someone else already. Next time I should move faster.
