Both are very dry, bright and the Bryston can be unstable at low impedances to the point of clipping. If amps were medical instruments, these two would be ice cold scalpels.
great specs , but no human warmth nor musicality.
I am now running MF mono blocks on my Maggies and am in heaven. Very sweet, tube like sound, but great bass control, open, slightly forward midrange and pleasing high end without all of that high end brittleness that is so commonplace today.
You may also want to demo Classe and Stratos. I've heard good things but have no personal exp. with them.
Also consider a tube preamp. Makes all the difference in the world unless your goal is to try to hear all the recording defects on a CD in which case the instruments, er,..amplifiers you mention above will be fine.
