Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst?

Dev,

Yes, I got it-thanks

Larry Greenhill in Stereophile stated that by BYPASSING the
rear circuit breaker in the 28,that into 4ohms,she'd do 1800w
continues for 10 to 20 seconds before the 15A BREAKER would trip.
Bryston chose an 8ohm rating because of regulartory agencies
test amplifiers under HOME CONDITIONS and that it would NOT
trip the average home breaker.

What are the capabilities of the 28B at 4 ohms if you don't bypass the rear circuit breaker on the amp? Bryston should state the amp's 4 ohm capabilities without having to bypass anything. That 1800 watts stereophilementions is a peak rating for a very short time. I'd like to know what it will do at 4 ohms for a sustained period. Bryston isn't stating it and I'm suspicicous.

Jim Tanner of Bryston has stated that the 28B run full power into 4 ohms will trip the circuit breakers in your home panel and they would have problems with Underwriters Labs if this figure were published. Going by the ratings of other Bryston amps usually the 4 ohm rating is about 1.7 times the 8 ohm rating.
Why the obsession about the ratings even if it did not put anymore into 4 than 8 when do you need more than a kilowatt per channel anyway

I can't run my 28s with my pre past 9:00(I could but she'd
rock the neighbourhood+mine).
A couple of thousand watts,you could fill up a 300-500 seat bar and with plenty of sound to spare.
Now if I ever get a bigger house,WE ARE MORE THAN READY.
I was ready with the 4s+7s let alone these superb 28s.
