Bryston 7Bst vs 7B3


Hi Goner's...

Has anyone compared the Bryston 7Bst mono blocks to Bryston's new 7B3 mono blocks. I currently own the 7Bst's and love them. Will the 7B3's be worth the change?  I haven't seen any reviews on these. Just recently bought the Focal sopra 2's Speakers (you gotta go listen to these!) and was thinking of the 7B3's as my final upgrade (for a while).
tnx.

as a bryston owner...i feel that bryston does not suck. compared to pass labs, accuphase, fm acoustics, sdoulution, burmester, mcintosh, etc...maybe not, but there's really noting that wrong with the equipment per se. i can tell you from a reliability standpoint, it is the best, or 1 of the best, imo! so, im gonna go out on a limb here and say that the b3's are pretty cool, and at least sound noticably better than my sst (not sst2) model, the 4B.
well, not to be rude here, but i can't stress this enough; you gotta go out and audiion, preferably a home audition. if the dealer gives you static, go to another dealer or call bryston and see if they can help you out...and to add to this is most reviews should be taken with a grain of salt...every component i've bought over the last 30 years based on a stellar review was a dud. this including some very highly regarded stuff.one exception was the b&w 801 matrix 2. great speaker that has stood the test of time, imo.
thanks for your post jafant...i'm gonna upgrade to the 14b3 myself which basically are 2 7b3s in 1 case. my 4bsst will be up for sale relatively soon
i will, i gotta sell some stuff in order to buy the damn thing! my money is tied up in equipment you see...i know, typical audiophile, lol.
