Very nice synergy going on within this combo. My demo was an ARC Ref5SE and Bryston 4B-SST2. I am in the process of setting up an audition w/ the 4B3 very soon. In the past I have heard a 3B-ST, 4B-SST and 4B-SST2. Happy Listening!

There are many audiophiles who pair a Pass Labs amp w/ the GAT as they are sonic matches. The Bryston could possibly mate well w/ the GAT? At this level of price and performance it is best to audition both products. Keep me posted, I am a big CJ fan. Happy Listening!
