Bryston Versus Musical Fidelity

As so often happens, the bug may be biting again. I currently have a Parasound A23 amp but am thinking about switching. I am contemplating either a Bryston 2.5b sst2 or Musical Fidelity M6S PRX.

Honestly, the music is sounding probably the best it has since I replaced the Parasound New Classic 2100 preamp with a Bryston BP6. That’s why I’m considering the Bryston amp even though the watts are the same as my current Parasound and less than the MF. But I know it’s not all about watts even though the MF would increase my headroom. Maybe I just like the Bryston sound.

 

Does anyone have any experience with these two amps? If so, what are your observations?

Other equipment: Marantz ND8006 CD player/streamer, Focal Aria 926 speakers, and Topping D50s external DAC.

 

Thank you for your recommendations!

It does. Thanks! What kind of speakers do you have? Some people think Focal like I have are bright but I’ve never thought that.

Since you are very knowledgeable on amps, do you have any experience with Musical Fidelity. One of the stereo places I use says they have received very good feedback with it paired with the Focal.

Sadly no dealers in my rural area of SC anymore, even nearby Greenville. This dealer also carries Parasound and I think does have a return policy. It is in the Massachusetts area.

 

thanks so much for all of your help!
