Accuphase E5000 vs Gryphon Diablo 300

Hi, looking at an endgame integrated amp. The Accuphase E5000 and Gryphon Diable 300 have both piqued my interests and would like to demo. both soon.

I’m a rock, pop, punk, blues kind of guy & will end up with a Spendor D9.2 as the speaker.

Is it worth look in at these two or should I expand my demo. list ?

Did not need it really, but what the hey....was told it was last one in US, with over 3 month wait for next shipment. Privacy increased from $5999 (by $700 bucks, crazy!) , but crazy I am I guess. So I’ll have this and my Clsss A Sugden, I think I’m good for a long time. Never heard of Gryphon...so can’t be of much help.
