I Need a Power Amp for my Studio Monitors

I've got a pair of JBL 6332 studio monitors in my home recording studio and need a sufficient amp to drive them. I noticed that a lot of studios use Bryston amps, but I also hear a lot of people saying that they're "unrefined" in the mids and high end. Any comments about this or suggestions? The 6332's "nominal" impedence is 4 ohms.

Bryston are excellent value for power amps. They do run very hot. If "unrefined" implies lacking in coloration then they are unrefined, IMHO. If you like SS designs and are not frightened by the negative feedback boogeyman then Bryston is a solid choice, IMHO.

I've heard the Brystons are good in the bass department, but lacking in the mids and highs. I'm wondering how a Hafler Transnova P-4000 would compare to the Bryston. I see lot's of Haflers in studios too. There's one for sale locally brand new for $500. Would a used 4Bsst be worth the extra $1500?
