Bryston or Yamaha?

Yes I agree with you I have a bryston. I'm running 2 Yamaha m40 on it. I don't stream any music. if I don't have record or CD I don't listen to it. This guy my friend knows has the Yamaha cx1000 it's pretty..

Hard to go wrong with either. I find the Yamaha variable loudness function to come in quite handy though.

@soix I doubt the 30+ year old Yamaha is digitizing any analog inputs.

Bryston is likely to be more refined.
