Bryston B-100 question

If possible,you should audition them yourself.Folks are well meaning when they make recommendations,but,what sounds good to them might sound unacceptable to you.You stated in your OP "I have read conflicting opinions
Some say musical others say lean & cold",this goes to show how people perceive sound very differently.Let YOUR ears be the judge.Just a thought.Good luck in your search.

I drive Dynaudio C1's with my B-100 which to me sounds great but I would like more power only for higher listening levels. Although the Dyns are great the really shine with lots of current.

If possible try to demo it with thw B&W's

I don't follow
How do I demo with the B&W's
I don't think stores in Manhattan are that anxious to accomodate
I would have to purchase them
After calling 2 stores in Manhattan that carry Bryston
None had the B-100 available to listen only to purchase.
