Any Love For Bryston Here?

Called the Bryston factory to ask a technical question. They put me through to the president, who gave me nearly an hour.

I bought two amps. Both were very good - musical, without an edge. And indestructible. Not the last word in technology, maybe, but definitely the last word in reliability.

Back in the 1970's they were considered pretty good amps.  I have no idea if that has continued, but would not be surprised.  Some companies maintain their quality and customer focus; some do not.

Obviously not considered the "best of the best" out there, but it was stable, added little to the "sound" of the system, and seemed to be well designed and built.  More than you can say for some stuff, right?

Cheers!

Just acquired a pair of 28sst2's for my JBL 4350A's and 4350B's. A little overkill but what the heck. Used  on the bottom end for the 4 2231a woofers. WOW.  Done for a long time looking for amplifiers.      

They're more pricey than they used to be, but then the cosmetics are more luxurious than they were years ago. I think that the sound is very good when I have heard them, (never owned one). Certainly on the solid state side of things but clean and powerful. Less rich sounding than good tube gear but I think if I owned it I would acclimate to that and appreciate it for its good points. 

On my main, mainly but not completely, analog system, I have a Bryston 17B3 Preamp, a Bryston BDA-3 DAC, and a pair of Bryston 28B3 monoblock amps driving my modified Magnepan 1.7 magenplanar speakers with Myestands and the Powell Magnepan jumper and “fuse” upgrades. I love this system. No coloration that I can discern and has plenty of power which the Maggies need. Everything is built like a tank. Bryston’s Customer support is responsive and detailed, and their warranty is the best.
