Out of those two choices I would prefer the BAT slightly more musical and nautral(ie closer to tube sound the Bryston) though you are loosing one amazing waranty with the BAT- in comparison to Bryston. Also worth looking into would be a more recent producution ML(Mark Levinson) or JRDG(Jeff Rowland Design Group) for similiar money, it may mate better then either the BAT or the Bryston. ~Tim
