tough call, but go with the Bryston.

 reliability is better with Bryston. newer as well.

 enjoy !

Much Thanks! exron

Yeah, but a bright sound??? I rather go with an amp with a little less reliability that sounds more natural than own a amp that will not break for twenty years but sounds bright. I mean just how long can a music lover, audiophile can listen to an amp with brightness and glare? One can always get a amp fixed if it ever has a problem but one can never change the design of a solid state amp. Just for me anyway as I looked at the inside of the Bryston vs, the Perreaux 350 I was able to tell instantly that the Perreaux was the more impressive looking inside wise even though it doesn't tell you how it's going to sound. I actually got one response from someone telling me that I got a very good reliable amp. Just because Bryston gives you a 20 warranty that doesn't mean one of their amps will not break before 20 years is up. One of the reasons Bryston can offer 20 years is because their amps are Class AB and run less than warm, and an amp that runs cool will almost always have a higher reliability than a amp which runs Class A into the first 10 to 100 watts before switching into Class AB. But we all know that a Class A amp usually will sound better than a plain class AB amp. I have two Adcom GFA-555 power amps from 1985 that are still working perfect, never broke down, and were never turned in for repair since I owned them and they are Adcom's and retailed for $599.00 back in the day. Why are they still working? because their Class AB and I took care of them, so that 20 year warranty that Bryston has does not impress me at all, as I go for amps with high quality sound built into their design. All I want to say to you is that I wish you the best of luck with your decision and hope what ever you pick last forever. I also respect you if you believe the Bryston sounds the best to you.  Take care.
