Mike this is an incredible amount of work. Great pics and vids. More importantly, you seem to have been able to cover a broader swath of the show than publications typically do. Well done!

Thank you Bill. I have the blisters on my feet as a reminder. [emoji54]

I will say, I was throughly impressed meeting Mr. Rasmussen. I had the chance to speak with him a few times and I was even given a wonderful hardcover "coffee table" book as a gift with over 100 pages of past and present Gryphon gear. When I walked into the room, he looked at me, extended his hand and said how nice it was to meet me. He is very tall. Very nice. Passionate about what he does. He also has a great team and the Gryphon products look and sound exemplary.

As for dealership, I think those are questions that might be answered down the road when Mr. Rasmussen decides the time is right. Hopefully very soon. [emoji6]

Did you see my videos? Yes I heard the Kodo's. I posted many videos with them and photos too. They are an awesome speaker. They require a very large room to do their best. I would guess 25 x 35 or bigger. They are a speaker which is best for on axis listening (as they explained to us). I believe, if memory serves me correctly, the bass towers are active. The tweeter and midrange towers were driven by a Gryphon stereo amp with about 150 watts of pure class A per channel.

The smaller Mojo S speakers are very impressive as well. They do not sound like a standmount. They have a big sound that oozes musicality. The 120 integrated sounded superb.

Mike , So grateful for all the pics Vids and report --I've known Flemming for many years and you would not meet a more affable gentleman in the Industry--good luck if you decide to pursue an association. I always wanted to take him Black Marlin Fishing but our times never got to chime!
As an aside when /if you ever proceed on the linkup--maybe Flemming with tell you the real story of how the brand came to to be "Persona non Grata" in the US-
it is indeed sad.

Thanks for the impressions, Mike!

Yes, I saw your videos. Appreciate the coverage. The Kodo looks very impressive and, you're right, the bass towers are powered by a built-in class A/B, 1000W, Gryphon-designed amp.

Here's hoping that things work out soon such that U.S. audiophiles can benefit from the awesome Gryphon gear...

Really? Where? Vinyl is in fact preferred by most of the major reviewers.

Not 'reviewers'. I'm referring to reviews of shows (AXPONA, RMAF) where the rooms seem to have digital computer sources (I see the tablets) but not the CD spinners you're saying you saw at Munich.

As someone who is too lazy to rip my entire collection of CDs and use a server, and too cheap to spend thousands on a turntable/tone arm(s)/phono stage and duplicating my library in vinyl, I have felt somewhat inadequate as a pure spinner to never see a spinner as the source in reviews of other shows' rooms. Always desperately seeking validation for whatever ways I am set in, I was intrigued (maybe pleased) to see your comment about spinners as a source in a few rooms at Munich.

If you guys want to chip in for my data plan, I'll upload at a higher res! There was no free wifi.
 
Mike, i had a thought that it might had something to do with data plan , and i can fully understand you :)
I really think you did a great job in covering that much in so little time, thank you for that big effort.

sure. Main accent is on mid-range and both ends are one step behind plus "paper" signature

In all my years reading professional reviews and user comments, I have never read the term "paper signature". Using a term to define itself or answer the question is circular. I still do not know what "paper signature" means.
