Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70?

My only concern with my krell fpb700 is its reliability in the coming years since it is nearing 10 years already, but if the consensus is that if the 700 cx is better than the 28bsst2, then i would gladly live with the krell forever and cross my fingers it will not break down in the next 5 years at least,

Its nice if i could just comoare both side by side. But im quite happy with the krell amp paired with a jadis jps2 pre amp...

Hi HK_fan, I enjoyed your post, my sentiment's exactly, +1, I agree with you.

My only concern with the Bryston is if it's able to drive a load lower than 4 Ohms. Otherwise, it puts out great sound. However, in that price range, and even cheaper, there are other excellent amps that deserve an audition.

Hi Lecram, At this point, I have put $4,000.00 recently into the inside of my 700cx, very well worth every penny too, and I am going to ride off into the sunset with this amp, it's all new, with modded capacitors and tweaked power supply, I might put the SR reds fuses inside, another $400.00, I am conterplating If there is a need?, also if you put a single pole 30 amp breker on this amp, play for 17 to 20 hrs for burn-in, you will be amused at how much better a 700cx sounds and runs extremly cooler doing this, when you do this 30 amp breaker, have a furutech GTX-D Rhodium outlet on it, these wpo's take 500 to 700 hrs to break-in, however, after 165 hrs, you will enjoy the sound, the wpo opens up a bit to enjoy, and the the furutech GTX-D R does not warm up or get hot with this much current like most wpo's do,best $5.00 that the breaker cost that I ever spent in audio, I would have paid $300.00 for what $5.00 did, it's a win!

Is there a question of reliability, get it fixed if it breaks down! I mean really, come on guys, listen to the amps.... Is it a better fit for your speakers? Is it a better match for system? How does it sound at your preferred listening levels? If your trying to break your eardrums, either amp can probably help you do that, if your trying to get perferred results with your given equipment at your listening preference, then do what any smart buyer would do.... Bring it home and listen for a couple weeks and put back your Krells and hear what you think!
