Well this is all subjective is it not. It depends on what an individuals definition of neutral is. If you lean towards the silky smooth, syrupy and warm sound as being neutral then no, the Bryston amps are not going to float your boat, so to speak. But, if you find tonal correctness, clean detailed dynamic punchy, somewhat dry sound to be neutral then the Bryston will be right up your alley, won't it? It's virtually impossible for anyone to definitively determine just what neutral is. You can say that it's live music, but the problem with any assertion of this sort is that everyone hears differently. I have been to audio shops and live performances of un-amplified music with audiophile friends and afterwards none of us can ever totally agree on exactly how, what we just heard actually sounded. To me neutral is when a system or component imparts the least amount of it's own influence on the sound of a recording it is reproducing. Of course most of us have no way of knowing exactly how the original recording is supposed to sound. Those who work in studios do however, and it's surprising how many sound engineers and studio technicians use Bryston equipment, simply because they feel it faithfully reproduces their work better than other available equipment, during critical evaluations, but maybe their hearing is flawed. Either way this is a very personal thing, and will always be open to interpetation.
Bryston sound 'neutral' ????
Hello. I researched this question a few months ago on Audiogon, I found it to be precise. I have read about this question elsewhere, specifically a review that came from a well know author or audio reviews in Sweden, if I am not wrong. He called Bryston, basically, the most Neutral sound he had heard. Alright, please Neutral, he so overspoke....and he proclaimed that he was a leading audio author in that area of the world. If you would like, it is posted on the Bryston webpage.
As always, I am not competing with anyone, except when they make agregious statements. Who amongstous would claim this fact? Or, at least the majority? And, I love the Bryston sound, but for me, not for the long haul!
Do I care what you choose. Certainly not. I just know that when I am selling a piece of Brystons gear.......yes I am selling guys, I want everyone with an opionion to know damn well what my perspective is. And, what I think most peoples opinions will be. But, that is left to your own findings.
And please, I would love you to make 'good grindings' of this as we used to say in ole' GB. Thanks all.
