I once owned that Bryston amp.
Like many audiophiles, I am no longer a spring chicken, and have developed many systems over the decades. Roughly 45 years ago, I used the following system in my funky coach house in Evanston, IL:
Bryston 4B amp ($1,200 then; ~$4,700 inflation adjusted)
APT-Holman pre-amp ($575 then; ~$2,200 IA)
Magnepan Tympani IVA speakers ($3,800; ~$15,000 IA)
Nakamichi 600 cassette deck ($600; ~$2300 IA)
B&O 4002 turntable (~$700; ~$2,700 IA)
And I paid for the system from tips that I earned as a waiter at a local restaurant, though most components were purchased second-hand.
