hammerharry Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Considering a Gryphon Atilla integrated amp but not sure if a bit over the top to drive a pair of Proac Response 2 boxes. Also in the mix the Densen B-130XS which I have demo'd in store the Atilla would be unheard. Front end is Macmini/Audirvana/ Hugo. Thoughts?

Boris Karlof Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Did you demo wth the Densen with your Pro Ac's? I would be more inclined to go the Gryphon. That is my personal bias as I like em. Depends on how well do you know /trust the seller. Both Danish Both good but me thinks buying a S/H Atilla is if it is in excellent condition & working order a savvy investment in HQ amplification. Your Pro Acs will thank you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunno77 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Will be the best your proacs will ever sound and you can upgrade speakers a fair way before even thinking of a different amp. If it's in budget do it for sure. Sent from my JAZZ using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerharry Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hi Boris, only heard the Densen in store on some VAF stand mounts of a similar size to the Proacs, it was a step up on the Primare 32i demo'd at the same time. Atilla is second hand belonging to an audio store owner in QLD and $1500 over the Densen, boxed, pictures show in like new condition & with a 2 year warranty. Excellent point bunno.Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscat Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've heard the Atilla with the Proac Studio 1 at a store. My impression was that it was detailed but non-fatiguing, and it had quite a dark character. Never heard a Densen amp though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerharry Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 That's good to hear Muscat as obviously i will not get an opportunity to demo and my room is a little on the bright side. Densen sounded more natural & musical than the Primare, though a very bland exterior and somewhat annoying "tick" when adjusting the volume.Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk If it's annoying at the demo, it will only get more annoying at home. If the Gryphon is at a good price, hopefully you should be able to sell it without too much loss if you don't like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or tell me where it's for sale and take it out of the equation hahaha....Sent from my JAZZ using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscat Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Very nice. Proacs are deserving of the best amplification. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
