Proceed AVP  Cary Cinema 11   Bryston SP1.7



I have had all but the Cary. which do you think would sound best for music in 2.1 ? I have the Bryston now. cant really find any flaw in it except I cant tell where volume is with lights down and screen is hard to read from 6ft away. Bryston sounds good.
I am actually getting a Cary Cinema 11 this week. I know if a recapped AVP . I like the looks of either of these over the Bryston.

Of the three listed, I would choose the Proceed but wow it's really old at this point.  The offshore Cary stuff never impressed me and I've never been a Bryston fan either.

Good luck with your decision!

The one I'd wished I had kept was a Theta Casanova.

Even though it was 5.1 only, it sounded great.

If you can’t find any flaws with the Bryston it sounds like you’ve got a bad case of upgraditis. 

Take 2 paracetamol and put a Justin Beiber CD on repeat until cured.

And buy a $1,000 power cord. That always helps. Agree with the upgraditis.

AR, ML, Krell, or old Dynaco tube units B.C. with a recap and new precision metal-film resistors; maybe an ALPS pot or stepped attenuator.
