Bryston B-100 question


I have B&W 804 speakers and considering purchase of Bryston Integrated B100 & CD Player BCD-1
Would that be a good match
I have read conflicting opinions
Some say musical others say lean & cold
Thanks

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.
Bring your B&W's to the dealer if they have one at the store. It won't be the same as your home but at least you can get an idea of the sound. Another option if they do not do in home demos ask about a satisfaction guarantee - something like if I don't like it within say 30 days you can get a refund. I mention 30 days only because in my opinion the brand new equipment will need break-in time to sound their best and some people will sell what they just got because it wasn't broken in. For me it was about 100 hrs on my B-100.
I think the B100 is based on the 2BSST ... if the store has one of those in stock you could listen to with your speakers it should give you some indication of how the B100 would perform
