Bryston or Mcintosh Amps?


Trying to decide if I should step up to the plate and get the 1.2K's or get Bryston 28sst's and save a ton o' cash. I wonder if there is that much difference in sound. Speakers are Mcintosh XRT28's.

would your audio dealer(s)let you audition them at home in your ROOM,using your FRONT,END ect.Then besides the nice blue UV meters
you and your wife's ears could decide which amps satisfies you both emotionally and musically.I do love the look of the
Macs,ive never auditioned them.I did aquire the 28s 3weeks ago
and audition the BP-26 with the 28s.The music was so life like that I ordered the 26 pre.I'm using the av-8 pre for my music now.But if you can let your ears decide.Hope that helps you.
Had 2 Mac's and 3-4 Brystons,not enough diff to worry about it unless you like splitting hairs.This is my system,my ears etc etc,good luck,Bob
I have heard the speakers with Mcintosh 1201s and they were great. You can find them used quite often.
McIntosh speakers should sound better through Mcintosh amps. Since they were designed with Mc amps, I think any thing else will miss the mark of the designers sound.
I asked myself this question years ago and although the Bryston was a close second I have had many Mc amps and never looked back. Always get a good resale, and in all honesty...I love the look.
