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?

Just acquired a pair of 28sst2's for my JBL 4350A's and 4350B's. A little overkill but what the heck. Used  on the bottom end for the 4 2231a woofers. WOW.  Done for a long time looking for amplifiers.      
They're more pricey than they used to be, but then the cosmetics are more luxurious than they were years ago. I think that the sound is very good when I have heard them, (never owned one). Certainly on the solid state side of things but clean and powerful. Less rich sounding than good tube gear but I think if I owned it I would acclimate to that and appreciate it for its good points. 
On my main, mainly but not completely, analog system, I have a Bryston 17B3 Preamp, a Bryston BDA-3 DAC, and a pair of Bryston 28B3 monoblock amps driving my modified Magnepan 1.7 magenplanar speakers with Myestands and the Powell Magnepan jumper and “fuse” upgrades. I love this system. No coloration that I can discern and has plenty of power which the Maggies need. Everything is built like a tank. Bryston’s Customer support is responsive and detailed, and their warranty is the best.
So many companies gear require overhauls after 20 years of us ( I do not want to name names, as this can easily be researched ). Bryston, is one of those companies, who’s equipment can still meet factory spec, and could sound the same, as the day it left the factory. This has been my experience with Bryston gear, and this says a lot. The 20 year, transferable warranty backs this up. Back in the day, I owned a 4B, with the Bryston electronic crossover, to run a pair of Janis sub bass systems ( John, of Janis, did not use the term subwoofer ), with exemplary sq. Only the pair of Janis was run with the amp / crossover, as I felt a bit of hardness and dryness above the crossover point, to the speakers. I suppose I could live with Bryston, but with amplifiers such as Pass, and Modwright ( as a few examples ), which " I " prefer on an sq basis, I still feel the Bryston equipment is fantastic, and would outlive, those other brands I mentioned ( simply an opinion, not factual ), and many more. Nothing wrong with over ten year old Bryston pieces, as they are more affordable than the new stuff, and, for the reasons I mentioned above.
I have a 15 year old 4BSST, never missed a beat, BP-20 with 18 years age and 18 months remaining warranty.  How many manufacturers do a 20 year transferable warranty?  Got used 7BSST2 with BP26 MPS2 and BR2 for a smoking price on here.  10 years warranty remaining. 

I do notice for whatever reason the 3 series seems to be selling used at quite a bit lower price than retail, for basically new 7B3 for example.  Personally my perception is that anyone seeking "warmth" sit closer to their heat source instead of spending big $$ trying to get warm from Bryston.  Or, sit closer to your Bryston amps.  That will warm you up.
