Antileon Evo stereo: Recommendation from a tube guy

[Ron Resnick]

Lloyd, thank you for your listening notes. That was also very similar to my personal experience. Here's a link to the specifications chart Gryphon put out: https://gryphon-audio.dk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Technical_Specifications.pdf. Ron, hope you are going to AXPONA. We have a large room with Trident II driven by Mephisto and our dealer Scott has Pandora with Antileon EVO driving his Magico's there. Obviously, we are local with you here. Our demo Antileon EVO should free up for a little bit after the show. Happy to connect with you on that personally. Should be a blast to hear it with your Pendragon.

Thank you, Philip. No, I am not going to AXPONA. Have a great time there!

Where do i go from Diablo 300, that is the big question.
Antileon Evo stereo or Essence Monos ?
I've only heard the Evo not the Essence Monos yet.
My other option is Heisenbergs but much more expensive and not sure it's worth it ?
Rig 1 : Antileon Evo stereo + CH L1-X1.
Rig 2 : Essence Monos + AC Impera ll Ref
Rig 3 : Heisenberg + AC Impera ll Ref

As of today Rig 3 would be my pick, but let's see what you guys think.
