Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there?

I'm strongly considering a 4B3 amp purchase. Bryston's warranty and build quality are as good as it gets and the price is in my budget. Pro reviews are good, I'm just wondering what owners may think. Are you pleased with the performance, what it's matched with, etc. I'm already aware of the specs, the story behind the design, and all the press release stuff. Plain talk would be appreciated.

Thanks

I would say the Parasound A21, Pass Labs X250.8, and Bryston 4B3 will sound different from each other and it will break down to your personal preference. Meaning you would benefit from hearing them in person if at all possible.

In my opinion, the overall sound character of the Pass Labs is closer to the Parasound than the Bryston is to the Parasound.

I find the Cubed and BSST2 amplifiers to sound significantly different. I strongly prefer the Cubed sound in direct comparisons, but I have met people who prefer the BSST2 sound instead also in direct comparisons.
