Perreaux or Bryston?


I have a pair of Cello Legends. Fairly efficient, neutral speakers. I can get a good deal on a Perreaux 200P power amp, 200 WPC, in excellent condition. Also looking at a Bryston 3BST. Which one would match better? Thanks in advance.

Even though I responding to a forum over 11 years old I have to super disagree about the Bryston 4B.  I once owned a 4B for a few months and recently purchased a Perreaux Prisma 350 stereo power amp and the Perreaux smoked the Bryston in overall sound quality and overall build quality. Look inside a Perreaux and then look in a 4B and if you can't see how much better the Perreaux is well then get a Technician to help you. This recent purchase of the Perreaux is one of the best purchase I have ever made in the past twenty years. I seriously doubt I'll ever sell this amp. I almost never buy power amps new, but this time I wanted a new one, and the only one to buy new that made the most sense was the Perreaux and it was worth every penny. I am a Perreaux fan for life and I think all you audiophiles should look into this amp.
Well,  I knew that one was coming. I wondering if that person actually compared a Prisma 350 against a 4B for over six hours using three different speakers and three different preamps, with four people in the room during the testing. All voted for the Prisma.  I wonder.
  Just another thing here, I have been auditioning the latest Bryston amps only because it was convenient for me as I was right there and their new amps all sound very bright to me. I even by myself had to lower the volume control in one listen as it was just too much for me, and man, did you notice their asking prices on some of their stuff, OMG, LOL
This is the best info I can give you.  I would recommend you contact
