The first generation Bryston amps (such as 9B) were okay, but somewhat dull sounding. The newer generations (SST, SST2) were much better resolution, but they had a tendency to sound dry and sterile. The newest "cubed" series is the best so far and sounds rather sweet in comparison to the older SST2 series.
There are definitely other brands to consider for an integrated (Krell, Kinki Studio, etc.).
