Sim Audio Moon W5 vs. Bryston 4bsst


If anyone has compared these two amps I would appreciate your opinions on them.

1. Which has a smoother more musically involving sound?
2. If they were both the same price which would you buy?

Thanks alot
Brent

I too have a Sim Titan 5x200 amp. I used to have 4B-ST and 5B-ST Brystons, as well as Pass Labs x-series. The Sim is easily the better amp as described by the other posters.

It also runs with almost NO heat output, whether idling or in full-blast HT mode. I found this to be more then a passing advantage over both my Brystons and Pass amps due a cramped rack configuration (and a desire to avoid heating my whole house 24x7!).
