Bryston 3B ST or McCormack DNA 1


Which amp do you think would deliver a better, detailed large sound stage for B&W N805's. I beleive that I can buy either used for about $1000. or how about the Anthem AMP2? I think I am narrowed it down to these... I apreciate any feedback.

I haven't tried a DNA-1 on my N805s, but the DNA.5 sounds fast, sweet, and open, with a moderately large soundstage. I use the Goertz MI-2 speaker cables(biwired) between them. When I tried a Bryston 3B-ST on my Apogee Stages, the Bryston sounded very smooth but too polite. The DNA.5 was faster, more immediate, but slightly dry; neither matched ideally but I preferred the McCormack. Happy listening!
