Boulder v Gryphon

I think there's some confusion here, "transparency" in audio reproduction is about not having any distortion or artifacts between the listener and the music itself, and having black enough background and high enough resolution to be able to hear all of the music for what it is. It's not that the music content itself is hollow or "transparent". That's what myself and many listeners look for, a clean window into the music rather than the amp editorializing by accentuating certain parts or changing the tonal colors.

I agree, but I place the ‘transparency’ effect to be more in the speakers.
 
Boulder certainly was clean and editorial is subjective.

What I heard wasn't a black background from Boulder but more like no background at all, that's what I meant by hologram. Maybe Mike can comment if they still have that type of character.

There is literally no similarity between the old Boulder 1050/1060/2050/2060 and the new Boulder 1150/1160/2150/2160. I think it’s why Boulder takes on average 10 years or more to produce a new series and this one, will be nearly impossible to beat. They have retained the 3D/hologram sound signature and just added layers and layers of sound completely void of any solid state artifacts.
