The Gryphon Diablo 300

Gryphon Audio's Diablo 300 presents finally 300 watts at 8 ohms. That's a reasonable amount of push to get the speaker's juice flowing.

That means, at 4 ohms, you'll see a reasonable 600 watts, and at 2 ohms, a respectable
'950.

Now, Gryphon hasn't been without Juice. Looking at it, from a specifications perspective, it is almost as if they have been making variants of the same product.

Mephisto Stereo: 175 W
Mephisto Solo: 200W
Colloseum Stereo: 160 W
Colloseum Solo: 180 W
Antilleon Signature Stereo: 150 W
Antilleon Signature Mono: 175 W
Antilleon Dual Mono: 100W
Antilleon Solo Monoblock: 150 W


YBA produced three power amplifiers. YBA 1. YBA 2. YBA 3. The YBA Integre as well. Plus options. They came in a variety of boxes, and all strangely produced about the same power.
We had an Integre given to us. Had to give it back. (Had no power. The DT was all-right.).

YBA 1 Alpha HC Power Amplifier: 85 W (1800 W at 0.7 ohms, however) - $8000.00 USD

Musical Fidelity's M8-700M is only 700 watts (at 8 ohms, though), and Musical Fidelity's 750K is only $10,000.00 USD / pair.

You'll be able to up your Dialbo to KW (2000 watt) status, then.

What are we talking about? Gryphon Audio produces a wide range of power-only amplifiers in both monoblock and stereo amplifier forms, which effectively do the same thing, imperialistically speaking... ampliferically! Wow, what a garble.

What's enough? Truthfully, around 60 watts, though for larger speakers - like Focal's Grande Utopia III EM Loudspeaker - around 1500 watts+ per. 100 will do.



Gryphon Audio Amplifiers best suited for a loudspeaker like the Metaxas Emperor.
