Well, I would say it comes down to personal preference, but on the other hand.......... I doubt you will find that many people that will actually say that Bryston doesn't sound great. Because it does !!! Bryston is one of the best amplifier manufacturers period and anytime someone is willing to stand behind a product for twenty years is unheard of. I don't know of anything else on Earth that comes with a twenty year warranty. I would certainly be more than happy to have Bryston in my home.

There might be some reviews of this model online. Also might be people on AudioCircle or other audio forums that you might be able to read what owners think of it. audioCircle is a great resource !!!


There is also more integrateds to be found yet, I haven't been able to look, but will have more free time in the next couple of days.

I also think if you can, try and check out some tube gear, I have a feeling once you do so, you will feel like tubes are what you've been looking for all along !!! Tubes really kick serious butt in terms of sweet beautiful sound. I feel that tubes put the life back into music, it really is a transformation !!!! Plus it really doesn't have to be expensive, honestly. Only the NOS ones command the highest of prices !!! In case you are wondering, NOS = New Old Stock, meaning older completely unused tubes, essentially still brand spankin new. Most tubes will actually last forever as well, so you don't really have to be obsessed like I am .
