McIntosh or Bryston amps for Legacy Speakers


Is anybody using Mac or Bryston amps with the Legacy Whisper or Focus speakers? Very interested in knowing the pros and cons...Also interested in knowing which amps are popular with these speakers and why.

I have finally ordered the Coda 15.0 Class A amp for my Whisper XD. Does any one here have a similar setup? Coda with Legacy speakers?
Sgr now runs Codas with his Helixes, and it sounds very good. Maybe he'll chime in.

Hey John,
Yes it is true I love my Coda amps and CP preamp. I'm running two CX amps and one CSX amp to quad amp my Legacy Helix. Bill Duddleston uses Coda amps to voice all his speakers. I've had Mark Levinson 436s, Krell KSA 250s, Acoustat TNTs, Haflers, and several others in my system. None have amazed me like the Codas have.

If I were to upgrade amps I'd look to Coda again and purchase 3 of the 15.0s.
I think you'll have a great sounding, dependable amp and system for years.
Let us know how you like the 15.s.

For Bryston at least audition/go for the 7BSST2 or 14BSST2. Those are their best amps outside of the 28BSST2 monos.
I have used both Bryston and Mc and preferred the MC352 on my Focus SE.
The best of all was the Ayon until I tried Meitner MTR 101 Monos.
I am now running them on my Whisper XDs.
They run about 9 hrs a day and I never turn them off.
Just waiting for a new pair of the Meitners with the upgrade as well as a Coda 15.0 and CP.
I'll keep you posted.
When setting the Whisper XDs its money well spent to bring in the Pros from Legacy to tune them with the Xilica.
