I am contemplating the addition of MSB Reference to my system which is presently Lumin U1 to Diablo 300 (w/dac option) to Revel Salon 2. If I did so upgrade I would bypass the preamp and dac in the...

For those of you that have upgraded your pc on Gryphon Diablo 300, should I be looking at Shunyata or AQ? Between those two which cords do you like and why? Which pc’s have the best synergy with...

I am definitely looking forward to a streamer upgrade! It may be a while however. I first need to replenish my audio "play money" coffers after the D300 hit! The Node I am running now sounds nice,...

Yes, I like the SVS app as well. Very flexible. Would be better as you say if you could link the subs. I like the PB 4000 because you can plug the ports and change the sub tuning to run like a...

I hear you on the subs. The Salon 2's have great bass response, but with them positioned as far from the rear wall like I have them, they sound somewhat thin. I pulled a single SVS PB4000 from my...

ACS10, I missed that in your sig. 👍

Yes, better streamer for sure. I am thinking about going Aurender rather than Lumin, as Roon does not matter to me. For the money N20 looks like the sweet spot unless I win the lottery and can...

Thank you! I am hoping to really see what these speakers can do in my space. I have owned them for years, and enjoyed them, but never really paired them with commensurate level electronics, or more...

Edited my post to reflect that I am using the optional Gryphon dac. Node is just the streamer. Agree node is the weak link atm.

So I went ahead and finally acquired my Diablo 300 with dac option. What an interesting piece. It sounds pretty decent with the Salons in my room. I can say that it has almost enough power to...

[QUOTE=Mike;333342]Where are you located?

I know Mark (MDP) had the Salon 2’s with the Pass X350.8 for a long time and loved the combo. Maybe he can chime in here.

Bump for more thoughts?

There is no chance of overpowering that room because I neglected to mention that the left side opens through double doors to a large adjacent room, and behind the listening position, the rear is open...

Mine are basically 48 inches off back wall and 67 inches apart. They sound excellent in that room, even with a garbage front end.

Confirming much of what I thought. I had actually been considering using a 585 as a “poor man’s” Levinson preamp driving the 536 or 534. Thanks for responding. For roughly the same 20k ish...

I remember that review, and it was probably why I bought the Bryston monos so many years ago. Interesting that he found the 334 apparently sounding good at 125 wpc!

Yeah they are power hungry for sure. I had a pair of Bryston 28B SST 2 monos (1000w) monos on them for a while, and although they got the job done, I never warmed up to the Bryston sound.

I was looking hard at the Boulder 866, and in fact missed one recently on agon. I like that the Boulder has streaming capability, again just a big question whether it could handle the Salons.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately my local shop carries neither. I have read everything I can find online about the Diablo, and it gets nothing but glowing praise. I have never heard it though. ...

Hello all. I have a smallish room, 15 x 18, 10’ ceilings, opening to a 45’ expanse across the home. I have been told by a dealer that the Diablo 300 is not a good match for my Salon 2’s, a claim...
