You should notice a huge difference by going with the Bryston. Not only is it much more powerful than the Behringer, the overall sound quality will be much better, as well. The Bryston is designed to be used in high end audio systems; The Behringer is not.
Behringer EP4000 vs Bryston 4B ST & 4B PRO
Hello everyone,
I am asking this question with all honesty. I currently use Behringer EP4000 pro amps to run my speakers - of which I have a few: B&W N805, Merlin TSM, Harbeth SHL-5, PSB Imagine B. I like to switch around which speaker I listen to.
I am considering upgrading my amp section to Bryston 4B ST or 4B Pro. My questions are:
1. Since my Behringers are rated to be 650w at 8 Ohm, what improvements could I hope to achieve by switching to Bryston?
2. Between the 4B ST and the 4B Pro, is there a sonic difference? I don't mind pro cosmetics / I know the pro has a gain dial. Anything I would be missing by going pro or is it just a cosmetic choice?
I understand warranty, build quality and resale value are better with Bryston but I'm really interested in the sonic differences.
Thoughts?
