Bryston 4BSST or 6BST or 7BST


I am looking at various Bryston amplifiers for my system. On the used market I can get a 4BSST for around $2200, a 6BST for around $2900 and a pair of 7BSTs for around $2900. Which amp is better sounding and which is the better deal? I will likely upgrade a few years down the road so I am looking at resale value as well.

Any difference in sound quality between 6BST vs 6BSST?

I appreciate any comments.

I have had both the 4B-ST and the 4B-SST in the same system and preferred the SST. It was smoother on highs and middle and retained the solid bottom end Bryston is known for.

I could be wrong but I think as far as the 6B's go the ST is nearly identical to the SST. It was designed just before the new names and corresponding faceplates. Though it would be better to check with Bryston directly.

You will get better separation with the monos and clearly more power. Though I digress, depending on your taste and associated equipment your mileage may very with each unit listed. Personally the 4B-SST was enough.....for now.
