Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout...


Anyone had the pleasure of hearing both of these highly praised mono block amps?

They both seem to offer A LOT of bank-for-the-buck, are both "powerhouses" , and both reatil for $6k a pair.

Any feedback on how they compare to each other? Strength's minus's, plus's of each over the other?

Artar1,

JA was criticised for publishing a review remarking on poor sound when he wasn't even certain that the speaker (CS1.6) was broken-in yet. That was half-ass and there is no excuse for it.

Denf,

I am familiar with the Bryston amps, since I own one and have auditioned the 7B-ST at home for a week. The 7B-SST is a fine amp but I wouldn't put it up against the JC-1 and I haven't even heard the JC-1. I base that solely on the reputations of Crump and Curl and the specs they have published on their website.
