FWIW, I find the Bryston's a bit grainer but less foward than the McCormacks.
Bryston vs. McCormack with the Modwright 9.0
I'll spare you the backstory...doing some system changes. Will soon be trying some class D amplification but want to have some "traditional" high power amps on my short list too.
Needs/Wants: Max $2500 used, running Single ended, need at least 400W into 4ohms, want warm, big soundstage (I despise edgy/detailed and ultimately (to me) fatiguing sound.
I've heard great things about the Mccormack's but their model numbering and mods confuse the *&^% out of me. I've had great results with modded equipment...so an older modded one may be more desireable for me than a new stock one.
Bryston...I've been impressed with what I've heard, lover their rock solid support, but have no idea if one model's more musical than others etc.
