Hafler 9500 vs Bryston 4bsst Class Rating B vs A

Thinking of upgrading my 10yr old Hafler with a new Bryston How much differance will I notice ?
Is it worth 3 times the price ?
When tried many amps i liked the Haflers detail and extra mid Qualities , however these new Brystons look to be pretty good .
Would like to hear from people who have compared directally these two .
What I have.
Anthem AVM-20
Energy veritas 2.8 ( I like much better then new versions )
5 Hafler amps xl280s , 9500 , dh500 , se120
Revel B15
Energy center and 22 referance rear
Thanks
Brian

I have had many direct comparisons with other amps costing many times more - Audio Research, VTL, Quicksilver, Jeff Rowland and Bryston .
I used a pair of Thiel 3.6s for the listening trials . The 9505 is a winner esp. for the money. Only the Bryston can really rival the Hafler 9505 Daiblo and then its more a matter of taste -not which is " better ". So if u can land your hands on one these 9505s hop to it my friend you will be amazed and deeply satisfied .
