Bryston options

So I recently purchased a Lumin T2 streamer and a 2nd hand pair of Martin Logan Vantages. So now its time to replace my 20y old Bryston integrated amp. Suggestions welcome..

@grahamsphillips we have the Lumin AMP here, by default paired with the Lumin X1. I'm afraid I don't have a good idea of how well it will drive the Martin Logan Vantages which is a relatively difficult load.

The sound quality is very good but you need to be aware of the sound character Lumin has chosen to present. It is also much more expensive than a similarly powered Bryston amplifier.

I have he BP17 cubed preamp and the 4B cubed amplifier. An awesome pair . 
(Traded up from the BP-26 preamp and 4Bsst2 amplifier.)

I listen to chorales, operas and other sources where the higher frequencies - - specially the female voice - - can make or break the experience.  The BP17 and 4Bc will be very, very difficult to beat.
