Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity


As so often happens, the bug may be biting again. I currently have a Parasound A23 amp but am thinking about switching. I am contemplating either a Bryston 2.5b sst2 or Musical Fidelity M6S PRX.

Honestly, the music is sounding probably the best it has since I replaced the Parasound New Classic 2100 preamp with a Bryston BP6. That’s why I’m considering the Bryston amp even though the watts are the same as my current Parasound and less than the MF. But I know it’s not all about watts even though the MF would increase my headroom. Maybe I just like the Bryston sound.

 

Does anyone have any experience with these two amps? If so, what are your observations?

Other equipment: Marantz ND8006 CD player/streamer, Focal Aria 926 speakers, and Topping D50s external DAC.

 

Thank you for your recommendations!

Bryston is an amp. A well built one for it's price point but it's nothing magical nor special. Just an amp. It will perform for you for decades without a hiccup :)
