Any Love For Bryston Here?

I've been reading this forum for years but have just recently started chiming in. I never see very many posts/threads about their products. I own and have owned a few of their pieces and I honestly think that pound for pound, or $ for $ their equipment is pretty close to top notch, not to mention their "best in the business" warranty. Also their aesthetics are complement worthy. Thoughts?

I began with Bryston when Jim Thiel recommended a 4B series amplifier for my Thiel 3.5 speakers. 
Since then, my electronics have been Bryston:  The latest 4B cubed amplifier and BP17 cubed preamp are top SQ for a collection of classical CDs, played via the BCD-3  spinner. 
With a large living room and current Thiel 2.7 speakers, the 4B amp never seems to run out of watts, and the SQ does not diminish with high volume.  A near-instantaneous increase in volume does not result in clipping.
My son "inherited" my previous 4BSST2 amp, BP-6c and  BP-26 preamps and BDA-2 DAC.  He's happy!

I own a Bryston BLP-1 turntable with an Ortofon 2M Black cart. I adore it! It was an 8-mo old demo purchase for $1800 w/the cart. Couldn’t pass it up.
