Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst?


Just wondering if anyone has compared these directly? It seems from what I have read that the 28b's have a significant edge over the 7bsst's more than just more power. I have listened to the 7bsst's but not the 28's. If you do not necessarily need the extra power but have the money, is it still worth going with the 28's?

Thanks

I have a pair of the 28 Squared mono's paired up with my MBL 101E speakers and they are a great match, no issue performing at 4 ohms.

Camali I sent you a email, did you receive.

28's are indeed special amps and I heard them in a system compared directly to the 7's and the only similarities were that they are both mono blocks and manufactured by the same company Bryston.
I have no issues driving my MBL 101E speakers which are 4 ohm and dip lower with the 28's which I already answered above.

None of us are manufactures of the amp so I would suggest you contact Bryston, they will provide you with the appropriate information.

I see you use Pass 600's, I actually owned X600.5,s and when hooked up to my MBL's the volume on my Audio Research Ref3 pre was usually at 45-50 and now paired up with my 28's 30-35. Big difference, if I put it up too say 45-50 well that's really rocking the house.

One note of difference in these 28 amps which I have not experienced with any others is that the 1st watt of these amps sounds the same as the last watt which to me is pretty special so you will find your self listening at lower levels and really enjoying.

My suggestion is to contact Bryston and then get a demo pair from a dealer to listen to in your own set-up.
