Bryston and Conrad Johnson

I finally decided I like the sound and depth of the very powerful Bryston 14BSST. Not looking to start a power debate here but the extra watts seems to add depth and sound stage at low listening levels. I am thinking of putting a CJ 17LS in front of it for my 2 channel listening pleasure. I have not yet decided on a processor. I will be driving a pair of Legacy Focus speakers and feel the tube pre will really make the speakers sound sweet. Comments and opinions??? Thanks and happy listening.

Sounds pretty nice, let us know how it works out! I suspect though that the bass may be a bit overpowering I hope you have a large room!

room size is 22 x 24 with cathedral cieling peeling at 12 feet. Bass shouldn't be a problem. However...until it is all in one room you never know.

You might want to check out the AtmaSphere MP3 also. Both true balanced and s/e operation.

I would investigate the results of various Bryston amps driving low impedance loads prior to spending any money on the combo that you mention. From my personal experience and those of others that i know and have read about, i don't think that Bryston and any large speaker with multiple woofers / low impedances are a good match. This has been covered both here and on AA to a pretty great extent, so search the archives and read the various points of view that are available on the subject. Sean
