The Bryston 14sst is a good solid-state amplifier, however it is very different from the Plinius 250IV. I compared the two a while ago, and liked the Plinius much better. Compared to the Bryston, the Plinius runs in higher current so you could really feel the vibrations of the instruments; the soundstage was bigger, and the natural sound is unbeatable. If you can find a used (but updated 250IV) in a good price, take it, and look no further.
Plinius SA250 and Bryston 14 SST
Hello, I am wondering if anybody of you out there has heard both those amps and would like to share your opinions with us. I am thinking of upgrading to a suitable amp to drive my large PMC MB1 speakers. Also, which preamp would you recommend with either amp? I am a bit scared of the high powerbills that the SA250 might generate when running in Class A, but then again, good things have their price...
