Bryston?

I just bought a 4B3 to go with my Sopras.

I can't get over the posters who base their buying decisions on a single comment from a stranger lol.

Did buy your 4B3 new or used? And if new where did you purchase it from if you don’t mind sharing, Thx.

Thanks to all for the updates on Bryston. Sounds like they are still doing, or trying to do, what they always did, but with rarely anything new to talk about.

They've introduced a new preamplifier, a whole new line of Class D amplifiers, new speakers, and have taken over production of the excellent Magnum Dynalab tuners. At the same time, they are supporting its large installed base of components - I've had excellent service on my vintage 4B, and the little hiccup my BDP-3 player encountered last year was swiftly resolved remotely, unlike the "support" I got from Aurender.

I'm a monoblock fan and have two sets, one tube based and one solid state. My tube monos are the big Conrad Johnson LP275M's each using eight ST120 power tubes and three 6922 signal tubes. My SS monos are the big (and very heavy) Bryston 28BSST's. I have Wilson Alexia speakers in a relatively large, dedicated listening room. I use the CJ amps the most and they have a permanent place on my equipment center. The Brystons are kept on heavy duty furniture dollies so that I can wheel them over in front and swap them into and out of the system at will. Bryston gear is built to last and sounds really good. Their 4BSST and above amps will power just about any speaker made, and do so with authority.

@cleeds Had no luck scoring the Magnum Dynalab model I wanted, so gave up on that. If Bryston has taken charge then maybe now availability has improved. Appreciate the tip!
