You’re not disappointing anyone here, and in fact we’re just trying to help. If you don’t agree with some of the suggestions being made that’s fine. The thing is, the KEFs aren’t dark sounding speakers so it’ll probably be a tough ask to find speakers that are bright enough to counteract what you feel is the amp’s sonic signature. Another way to go might be to try different cables — what speaker cables/interconnects/PCs are you using now? It’s possible that adding something like silver interconnects could inject some of the air/sparkle up top you’re currently missing. Just another idea FWIW, and best of luck in getting where you’re looking to go. |
@ullogu1 did you look at Gryphon reviews and look for what speakers they used? They usually have access to many speakers and will likely come up with a good match. I would think that Danish speakers will fare better. |
@milpai - I wouldn’t call it “looking for a bandaid.” It’s just about pairing it with the right speaker. Once you do, you understand why Gryphon amps are respected. It’s a fantastic amp. |
@soix - I honestly don’t think cables are the answer for the dark character of the amp. From experience, I 100% feel it’s a speaker pairing issue. |
. This amp is detailed, dynamic, great soundstage and imaging. I have a phono stage built-in that is fantastic for me. It's a great amp...
