Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2


I was all set to buy the Bryston 7B-SST2 amps to mate to a KEF Blade (or Blade2). However, the recent review of the Theta Prometheus on Stereophile has me intrigued. I like the benefits mentioned for the class D amps over AB or A. Less power consumption, run cool, small footprint.

I heard these amps at THE NEWPORT SHOW this year and they sounded very good but I cannot really tell in a show (unless it is really bad sound). I know how the Bryston sounds and like the fact that I would have a great RELIABLE amp if I went with Bryston. My pre-amp in the SS BAT VK-42SE. I will have a 2 channel computer based system, with the PS Audio DS DAC.

Anybody using these new Theta amps care to provide feedback on your experience. I would prefer to hide any new amps in a closed audio rack because of potential damage (spills etc..)

Hey, AL,

You are back. How are things over at your Tara Labs thread?
The new "trickle-down" D'agostino stereo amp looks gorgeous.
Cheers! J.
For anyone who is interested the latest issue of Stereophile has a review of the Benchmark AHB2 amp that I am getting for the office system. It sounds like a real sleeper amp.
yyzsantabarbara, I'm about one year behind you but going down the same path. What did you discover about the Prometheus/Blade2 combination?
