There are a lot of Bryston 4B-ST's at the $1.5K level on A'Gon. So much so that I am surprised people have not dropped the price. Why not go up the line to the newer ST model?
I had a 4B-ST long time back and it drove my NHT 2.5 speaker to decent sound. At that time I did not realize that I would have been better to use a more mellow pre-amp with that combo since the Bryston was a little strong on top.
Some people prefer the ST line over the SST line because they find the SST line a little too mellow. I have read 1 or 2 professional reviews that stated that for the 7B-ST vs 7B-SST.
Quality wise the Bryston is made to last 50 years.
