Bryston 7Bst vs 7B3

Right On! dave_72

gear at this level must be heard to be believed.  I have auditioned the Bryston 3B and 3BST & 4BSST power amps w/ an ARC Ref5SE = a very synergistic sonic match on Wilson speakers.

Happy Listening! tatyana69

Hi all,

I connected my 7B3's yesterday. Not sure if there's a break-in period but I already love them. Compared to my 7Bst's my initial impression is: sound stage is deeper, the highs are a little sweeter (in a good way) and the detail is amazing because these are dead quiet! Running them with my Sopra 2's and Wadia S7i CDP. I only have about 4hrs on them so I don't know if anything will change much but if it doesn't it won't matter cause I'm a very happy camper now!

I have just put in a 4b3 instead of a 4bsst2
It is almost like a different amp - yes I know it is a different amp but you know what I mean!
Very dry sound (says me talking bollocks) and maybe losing a bit of airyiness or something - but so precise
I have about 50 hours on them so waiting for a (150+??)  burn in to see if they warm up a bit 
And yes the 4bsst2 is a worthwhile upgrade to the 4bsst

thanks for your post jafant...i'm gonna upgrade to the 14b3 myself which basically are 2 7b3s in 1 case. my 4bsst will be up for sale relatively soon
