Bryston 7B SST

Bryston is offering to update existing Bryston 7B SST amp output stages to the latest "C" configuration used in the newest and very highly-reviewed 28B monoblocks for $250 per amp plus shipping. All new 7B SST's will have the "C" configuration. Has anyone had any experience with the new "choke" output stage in 7B SST amps? I use my 2004 vintage 7B SST's with very revealing Merlin VSM mme speakers and have heard that the update gives the 7B SST's a gorgeous top end.

I got this information from James Tanner, head of international marketing for Bryston, who referred to it as the "output choke mod" and told me that the Bryston U.S. service department in Vermont could do the mods for $250 per amp plus shipping. He told me to contact Mike Pickett at usaser@bryston.ca or 802-334-1201 to arrange this.

If you think that even the SST amps still have that typical Bryston highs (a smidge aggressive) then the Choke change is what's needed. I had my 14B-SST done a few months back at the Peterborough location and I am very happy with the outcome. I will also add that IMHO the BP-26 may be a better match for a Bryston amp with the new ouputs than in the past but again this is only my opinion (BTW I use an ARC LS-26)...
