Bryston 7BST or bridged 4BSTs


I have the feeling/impression that a bridged 4BST is same as, or at least similar to, a 7BST, since advertised power outputs are the same.

Can anyone confirm or refute this?

If there is a difference, what are the advantages/disadvantages of using one or the other?

BTW---I'm powering SoundLab A3s, which I realize can be problematical impedance-wise.

We are a Bryston dealer in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Simply using the amplifiers stand-alone, I would have to say that the Bryston 7-B ST (in series mode) is a much better sounding amplifier than the 4-B ST. Personally, this is striking since it appears that the circuit topology is very similar. I have not confirmed the variations/similarities between the two from Bryston, but these are my consistent listening observations.
