Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6

Hi, looking to match a new amp with Mag 3.6 or 3.7 and I've heard about the Sanders but would like more feedback, especially comparing it to the Bryston or another amp you like under 5k (preferably less if used). System: AIFF files on Itunes Computer server -> DACPORT DAC via USB -> BYPASS FILTER AT 80 -> split less than 80 to JL Audio F112 Sub and over 80 to Bryston 4B-SST2 or other amp and on to Mag 3.6's (or 3.7's). No preamp in this system since volume is controlled by the cigar-sized Dacport which has worked great for me on other systems. Thanks. Laurence

I own a Sander Magtech amp but have not used it on electrostats.

That is good because the Magtech is actually designed for dynamic speakers not ESL's. Mr. Robert E. Greene of TAS used the Magtech during his review of the Kingsound Prince II speakers which is really a bit unfortunate when Sanders actually builds an amplifier dedicated for ESL speakers call the "ESL Amplifier".

I have listened to both the Magtech and ESL amps and both offer outstanding value. Back to the OP's question i would take the Sanders over the Bryston
