Bryston 4B3 or Ps Audio M700 monoblock?

I've had the 4BSST for 15 years.  Most of that time I used it with a Conrad Johnson tube preamp.  Then I bought a BP20 with the MPS1 and finally gave up on that tube noise. 

Recently I bought the 7BSST2 monoblocks with the BP26 and MPS2 for a total price of 6500 bucks to my door which I thought was damn good.  Soundwise, it's a huge improvement but in fairness to the 4BSST the preamp and power supply was a step up so it's a bit hard to know how much the monoblocks helped. 

My advice based on what's available is to negotiate for a pair of 7B3 because there are a lot of them now on Audiogon at pretty decent prices.  The warmth factor or whatever versus the 7BSST2 is hard to define but I trust Bryston and you are getting almost 20 years left on the warranty.
Seriously, PS Audio?  Cmon man.

Buy my amp.  It's new, it's Class G.

Can we at least agree that Bryston has a better warranty?

I know the digital stuff is 5 years but AFAIK the amps and preamps are still 20 years.  I could be wrong, it has happened before.

It's interesting how this 7BSST2 combo with the BP26 and MPS-2 improved the sound over my old 4BSST with a BP20 and MPS-1. 

I suspect OP will fall in love with the PS Audio and live forever happily in Class D.  Or not.  Really seems a step back, all these rave reviews such as the glaringly bad KEF LS 50 get old.  I don't even trust the rave reviews on the Bryston BCD-3.  I am suspicious.  Really though their software apparently sucks on the digital side, like bad.  Mickey Mouse or was if Manic Mouse?  And a $375 remote?  I have one, and it's odd.  BR2

noble 100 I haven't, I need power and low impedance capability.  I went from 300 watts to 600 watts a channel.  These Infinity Kappa 8s need lots of juice down to literally under an ohm.  Am I missing something in the Class D department?

beeswax, thanks for the comments.  It's a deal killer though to not read CDRs as that's what I already have a lot of and will be recording more of on the old Harmon Kardon CDR20. 

I'm actually falling deeply in love with the Rega Planet 2000 that I bought on here including a killer remote (the Solar) for all of 195 including shipping.  I think it sounds great to my ears.  I've never had CDs sound so "analog".  The top end is killer without that harshness, the soundstage is to eat off of, the bass is top notch, and zero listening fatigue. 

Running big inefficient Bryston 7BSST2.  Paid 4300 for two of them 10 years old.  Smaller and lighter doesn't do much until I need to move them.  Also just curious about shielding reqts for Class D?  Seems I was reading something about that aspect.  Obviously this is new to me on the Class D thing.  Anyway thanks for your comments and I will try to check out one of these units next time in the "big city"...

Thanks Tim,
I appreciate your input (so to speak).  I do like the "straight wire with gain" ala a CJ PV10B design for example.  I won't bash Class D again unless I actually hear one.

OP has been pretty quiet, I am now curious if he did order the PS M700 and if so what does he think vs. the Bryston 4BSST.  Since the 4BSST was my main amp for many years (and I still own one) this will be a somewhat reasonable comparison...

Well we had a nice chat and I learned a few things.
Thanks for the update and have a great rest of the year...
