I would go with Bryston simply because if it's not your thing you can recoup what you bought if for if you get it at a decent price.... not to Schiit on the Vidar , it may be a great amp but i had an early 3b and wished I had kept it. Would be interesting if you got both and did a shoot out. I bet you would keep the Bryston.
Used Bryston 3B-ST or Schiit Vidar?
On the surface, these would seem like similar amps. Used prices of a Bryston 3B-ST are now comparable to a new Schiit Vidar. They have roughly the same power output and both have been praised for their neutral balance, dynamics, and bass control. Both have been criticized for maybe not being the last word in treble refinement. But they are very different designs, so presumably there are some sonic differences.
Does anyone have experience with both?
