Acurus A150 v. Bryston 4b


Looking for a stopgap amp for my Magnepan 1.7s until I can fund the amp I really want. Acurus A150 or the Bryston 4b, opinions? The Bryston is not an ST or SST.

My posts are nothing if not entertaining, albeit only to myself. I utterly understand all of the mb1 post, and can only offer this fact: QSC makes all of their GX line as well as most of their other pro audio gear in China. 
Then why does the amp say Made in USA on it? The pic is directly from QSC's website. Is your need to be right so bad that you won't consider the possibility that there may be a perfectly reasonable explination? Maybe they moved production from one country to another. Companies do stuff like that all the time.

Per the QSC Audio Forum, which I had never heard of before this, the answer to the question Where are QSC amps manufactured? was answered as follows (ON MARCH 1, 2007 caps for emphasis):

Hi dominik

All but the RMX, GX, and ISA series amps are manufactured at our facilities/headquarters in Costa Mesa, California. The RMX, GX, and ISA amps are designed by QSC but built for us by a company in China.

The GX3, GX5 are made in China. The new GX7 is made in California. The GX7 can be thought of as a repacked, reformated PLX1804 which is being discontinued... I don't work for QSC but I can tell you that the GX series is for entertainers on a budget. It comes with a 6 year warranty which shows that QSC is willing to back their stuff up. I owned the GX5 but switched to a PLX which I feel is better at driving bass frequencies such as subwoofersEnter your text ...
