The earlier version's measurements show that rather than increasing it's power output into 2 Ohms it loses power output. Bryston 4B power amplifier Measurements \| Stereophile.com

I have a 1996 4B, amongst others, and the combination works well. But the newer 4B3 sounds better in every way because everything is different - circuit, components, boards etc. 4B3 also has a slightly warmer sound than previous 4Bs and can be useful if you want the Bryston detail with a less uncompromising presentation.
