Bringing Bryston 4B back to 1997 new.

Recently I rescued a Bryston 4B off Facebook marketplace. It needs to be refurbished. Bryston will bring it back to 1997 new for $1400. That’ll bring my investment to $1700 all in. I’m thinking for the money I might be better off with a nice class D . I’d be powering Thiel CS 2.4’s. I have a Bryston BP 20 preamp Curious what you guys think. Go vintage or invest in the future?

I owned the BP20 and also owned Bryston amps in the 1990’s. I also had a Thiel SCS4 monitor with a Bryston 7B-sst and I think a BAT VK-42SE preamp (warm).

The combo of the BP20 + Bryston 1997 + Thiel would be too bright for my ears. I would get a warm-ish Class D amp, such as a D-Sonic
