Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst?

Cost no object? Then it is easy; get the 28B SST square. I wonder why Bryston would make amps that cost more than double the 7B SST square and they sound the same as the 7B.

There are those who feel that you can never have too much power, especially with a maggie. At the CES, magnepan has used 4 7BSST in biamp mode, or one 28. They should know, and a big room would make it appropriate. The character is the same, but the dynamics are different, at least 3dB worth. jallen

Bryston does not list the 28B-SST output at 4 ohms. I wonder why?? For an amp that boasts 1,000 wpc @ 8 ohms, omitting the output at 4 ohms is a glaring omission and immediately sends up a red flag in my book. The 28B-SSt is two bridged monoblocs. Bryston does list the output of the 7B-SST at 4 ohms. My guess is that the 28 might have trouble with a 4 ohm load. I suggest you call Bryston before you pull the trigger on a 28B-SST and ask them how the amp will perform at 4 ohms.

Audiolui, I am confused by your statement. R u saying the 28B SST and 7B sound the same?

I have a pair of the 28 Squared mono's paired up with my MBL 101E speakers and they are a great match, no issue performing at 4 ohms.

Camali I sent you a email, did you receive.

28's are indeed special amps and I heard them in a system compared directly to the 7's and the only similarities were that they are both mono blocks and manufactured by the same company Bryston.
