Bryston 4bst vs. Proceed HPA2


Any thoughts on these 2 amps for a system consisting of a Proceed avp-s and revel perorma f-30's. They are both excellent amps. I have A/B'd them and the Bryston seems more dynamic and pleasant to listen to but the Proceed more refined and smooth. These are being used in a system for 50/50 ht/2 channel. Any thought or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks

I can only comment on the Bryston 4Bst since I own one; never have listened to a Proceed. The Bryston is a dynamic and very pleasing amp with plenty of muscle to drive any load.

Bryston amps are highly rated in many user and publication reviews, with a company that stands behind each unit it makes. Bryston gives each of their components a 20 year transferable warranty. This comforts the idea of buying a amp either new or used.

The recent Stereophile had a review on the 7Bsst, and the reviewer had actually prefered the older 7Bst over the newer one.

Buy the amp thats a good match for you, because everyone including myself has different likes and dislikes. You will be the final judge. Good luck.
