Graham Audio and On A Higher Note

Hello Steve,

It is with extreme pleasure that we announce our N. American exclusive distributorship for Graham Audio at Salon Audio Montreal Audio Fest where we debut Graham's new LS5/9f floor standing loudspeakers. See our press release attached.

Designed by Derek Hughes based on BBC's award winning LS5/9 monitors, the new LS5/9f has midrange performance almost identical to the LS5/9. The LS5/9f enjoys 5 Hz of lower extension on its bass, with a deeper foundation underneath the music.

Montreal is one of my favorite towns. For this occasion, in addition to my computer/streaming music playlists, I have brought over our newly completed Philip's Demo XXI and a specially curated composition, "Graham Demo 2019", in CD format to play on the Gryphon Audio Design's Scorpio S CD player driven by the newly repriced Diablo 120 integrated amplifier.

Visit our event page here for more details about our room #1315 at Hotel Bonaventure Montreal this weekend.

In music, Philip O'Hanlon

First time in Montreal for us, this rack system is known for its audio performance and aesthetics appeal that won't disappoint. Visit Room 1315 this weekend or reach out to a dealer near you.

The Winged-Lion's Manifesto on cables, power cords and interconnects

With sonic neutrality as the guiding principle and compatibility with its analogue amplifiers' enormous bandwidth as a must, Gryphon Audio Designs issued a manifesto to its installed base, pin-pointing speaker cable as an important "interactive factor" to hone-in on to avoid potential problems. >> See more here >>
Highlights of our fleet of new and ex demo items from our discontinued brands

Besides a couple Luxman integrated amplifiers we recently brought into our fleet that deserves our highlighting, a hidden gem in our Luxman collection is our open box stereo 300b SET tube amp, the MQ-300. Don't let the 8 watts fool you. This beast is quiet, sweet, great separation, terrific bass, with big soundstage, addictive vocals, and now with our open box sale, great value.

Our Vivid Audio fleet has gotten considerably smaller as of last writing. Of note is our last pair of B1 (upgraded new stock in black outfitted with integral screens) for the right customer, and the K1's ex-demos that deliver signature Vivid sound with considerably more bass for a larger room and now with great value proposition.

Of the "only left" units, Eclipse TD's flagship TD712zMK2 near field monitors and Merging Technologies' 2-channel and 8-channel MQA compatible NADAC+Player are choice items demanding honorable mention. Contact us for more info.

I forget which ones I heard at Philips house. For a small speaker the sound was wonderful

I think the ones at Philip's house are the Graham/Swisstone LS3's.
