Bryston or Classe for NHT 3.3

Hi all,

I have a question where you hopefully can provide some input/experience.

I'm currently using NHT 2.9's for L/R in a 5.1 set-up. The 2.9's are powered by a B&K reference 4420. I'll use the 2.9's/B&K as surround speakers and will use the 3.3's as L/R.

Now I'm tryimg to decide which amplifier would best match the NHT 3.3's.

I hear at lot of people like the Classe/NHT combination. On the other hand I have also heard good things about the Bryston/NHT combination. And of course the excellent warranty from Bryston (consider that important, since I'll buy used).

Now, what do you guys think? Anybody with 3.3.'s (or 2.9's) having any experience with these amplifiers?

Ah, and I understand that the Bryston warranty is transferable. What do I need to look for, that is, do I need a receipt/purchased from an authorized dealer to get the warranty?

Thanks a lot for any feedback!

Thanks yyz,

Warranty is certainly a nice bonus if you buy used.

Seems like the SST is certainly one option.

Thanks guys.

I don't have any problems with the 2.9's (B&K amp) as far as fatigue is concerned. Love them, they will make good surround speakers for hirez music.

The first one on my list was/is actually the Classe, since it is known for a "warmer" sound. All a matter of taste I guess, since there are also people who like the Bryston/NHT combination.

The CA 300 is certainly on my list.
