Which model Bryston with Vandersteen?

if you get a three bryston and add two q subs by vandersteen you won't spend the money on five's buy music

The price difference for a used 3B-SST vs. a used 4B-SST is not large, and my long-term experience with Vandy speakers (any model) is that they perform better with more power rather than less. Therefore, I'd recommend the 4B-SST.

I am using a 4B-ST with my Vandy 3A Sig's, and intend to use it (or a 4B-SST) when I upgrade in the near future to the Vandy 5A's.

Thank you three for your advice. I have even been considering the Quattro but can't find any reviews on them. They are probably more in my price range for the near future. I know they are close to the 3a's in performance from what I read but having the subs included would fit better for my room.

If it is a question of "when" you get the bigger Vandy's as opposed to "if" you get.... then pick the 4B-SST. If the price between the 3B-SST and 4B-SST is significant to you then consider a late edition 4B-ST instead. If you are uncertain about stepping up to a larger Vandersteen then you will still find the 3B-SST (or 3B-ST for that matter) delightful. If you KNOW you want something most expensive then save a little more and get it now. Fewer upgrades CAN be a good thing financially over the long run.
