Bryston?


For over 20 years I used Bryston pre- and power amps. Then came the streaming era and somehow I never went back to Bryston. 
Now it occurs to me that nobody on A'gon seems to mention  this once-revered Canadian line. So, what's the story? I know they still have US dealers.

I just purchased the following Bryston products:

1.Bryston 4B3 cubed power amplifier which puts out 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 500 per channel into 4 ohms. I've had this amp for 4 months and am enjoying it very much. I am driving the Martin Logan 11A Impressions. The sound is powerful and clean.

2. Bryston BP-19-preamplifier. The preamp is very clean sounding and does not add any unwanted sound to my set up. The preamp is dead silent. I've had this for two months and am happy with my purchase.

 

I've owned a Bryston amp (still going after 25+ years, recapped), preamp, DAC, and digital player. I've always found the company to be remarkably responsive. James Tanner is quick to answer questions on the audiocircle forum. My only reservation is that they seem to have struggled a bit with the software on their digital players--though it didn't bother me since I use Roon. I have the sense that they may be phasing out of digital players, though that's just a hunch.
