Marsh A400 vs Bryston 4B-ST


Currently own a CLASSE model 6 preamp and PSB Stratus GOLD i
speakers. With price not being a factor what would be a
better match for a power amp. Marsh A400 or a Bryston 4B-ST? What are the differences or characteristics of the
two power amplifiers. Right now I have a Bryston 3B-ST and
I find that I need more power for the PSB's.

I was considering a Marsh but then found that they are made in Taiwan, that is all I am going to say about that.
I have listened to both amps and for my ears I have purchased the Marsh. It is a wonderful amp for the money.
I don't care where the amp was made. After I had a peek under the hood at a local dealer I was impressed at the build quality and calibre of parts used in the amp. You could spend much more and do alot worse. The Bryston is a fine amp with the best warranty and built like a tank. Sonically, I felt the Marsh was better and I drive some hard to drive electrostatics. Listen to both and let your ears decide.
If it is warranty and build quality you are after...i'd have to say go with the Bryston. If you want the best sound (as did I) go with the Marsh!!
