i've owned the 3bst , 3bsst. Both are very good amps. Very strong in the bass, dynamic, bold and powerful.
However, i was able to borrow the mccormack, Krells and classe of similar power rating.
I feel that after the audition, the Bryston could use some refinement. The mccormack, Krells and even the classe-- i personally feel is more refine, more finesse. The mccormack especially has a very nice mids and highs that I prefer to the colder sounding Krells.
Its best you do an audition if possible to see if the Brystons are for you. I'm keeping my Brystons for what they can do.
Someday I can use these for HT apps.
Good luck.
