Id say it depends on what you want to power with it, ive heard Totem mani-2's set up in an all bryston system (4bsst and bp25 pre) and in an all musical fidelity system (a3cr pre and power) and no contest the musical fidelity was more enjoyable, despite being obviously underpowered for those speakers (the bass was far lighter than i know there capable of)musical fidelity was smoother, easier to listen to, more musical in general, trebel was sweeter. the bryston had way better bass.
that said my father uses bryston 7bst and they've workes flawlessly for years, they sound very good, but to my ears not particularily engaging
