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.

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.
Drpipes,

I really like McIntosh product and the 1.2K's look awesume but I would have to agree with Drummermitchell's thread and not rule out the Bryston 28B SST Squared mono blocks. If I was you I would demo both in your own set-up to hear which you and your wife prefer.
I have a 4B-ST and an MC-252, neither is for sale. Your speakers will possibly make the decision for you if you can demo both. If 28B-SSTs are your idea of saving money, I like your style, it is a pleasant delima, have fun.
