Bryston 4b SST or ARC 150.2 on Thiel cs2.4

Currently my setup consists of an ARC LS2, Bryston 4bSST on Thiel CS2.4, with Kimber Hero and 4TC cable. I find the setup a bit too bright. I think it's the combination of the Bryston with the Thiels. Can anyone confirm that?

I am wondering if the ARC 150.2 would give a better result. I can buy one for a nice price.

Any comments?

I would look to the preamp as the source of the brightness. Check out other brands such as the Art Audio VPL you will be much happier.

Do you think an ARC LS2 is that bright? How about a BAT VK3i? Is that less bright? See my other thread...

In response to your question, I've never known bryston to be known for brightness. However Thiel's on the other hand are known to be bright particularly in certain applications.
Having said that, ARC equipment mates well with each other, so from that perspective the 150.2 would definitely make for a better combination.
I'm saying that also because I have the 150.2 and have had the LS-2 mkII and brightness was not an issue with either of course I had different speakers and components.
