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

Jim Tanner of Bryston has stated that the 28B run full power into 4 ohms will trip the circuit breakers in your home panel and they would have problems with Underwriters Labs if this figure were published. Going by the ratings of other Bryston amps usually the 4 ohm rating is about 1.7 times the 8 ohm rating.
Why the obsession about the ratings even if it did not put anymore into 4 than 8 when do you need more than a kilowatt per channel anyway
