Bryston 3bst vs Bryston 3b


What are the differences? Have found a 3b for $400.00 but cannot find specs or reviews. Does the 3b stack up against the newer amps in the $5-600 used (ATI 1502, Rotel 1070, Anthem mca2) range? Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

My dealer had an old 3b. It sounded fairly harsh throughout all frequencies when I listened to it.

I now have a 4b st. I love it, and it will have to be pryed from my dead cold fingers if anyone wants it. It is a wonderful amplifier; fast, tight bass and great detail.

I know this is a 3b vs 4bst comparison, but it seems consistent with other people's experiences and with the company's own "propaganda".

The 4b st may give you more dynamic headroom for those musical transients, and make your speakers just sound "bigger".

Hope this helps
