Gryphon Diablo 300 or Pass Labs Int-250 to Sonus faber Amati Tradition


What is the better match between Gryphon Diablo 300 or Pass Labs Int-250 to Sonus faber Amati Tradition?

 

Anyone heard both amp to this speaker?

Unfortunately I have not been able to listen to the SF Amati’s  with any Pass products.  However, I have listened to the speakers with several different McIntosh pre amp and amp separates as well as with the Diablo 300 integrated.  I was so impressed the Diablo 300 and Amati combination that after an in home demo, I purchased both the Diablo 300 and SF Amati’s 3-4 years ago.  I still really enjoy this pairing and I have not listened to anything since that I would consider an upgrade of my current system.

today i got mc452 and c2700. Is Pass Labs in the middle of Mcintosh and Gryphon?

No, given the Mac house sound I’d guess it’ll be even warmer and less detailed than the Pass.  What improvements/sound characteristics are you looking for with the new amp?

Since the Amati drops below 4 ohms in the bass I would go for the Diablo 300 which has much more current capability into low impedances than the Int 250.
