I have had the SST line in a few models. It is a little rougher on the higher frequencies. I would opt for the SST2. The new cube version is supposed to be even more smoother on the higher frequencies.
W4S or Bryston
Hey all,
Need some advice from the experts :)
I was on the merry-go-round again and my system is now Bryston BDA-2 > BHA-1 > W4S ST-500mk2 -> PMC DB1i.
I am using all XLR connections and the issue is that the W4S has too much gain (30db gain) for my efficient PMC's and the volume gets loud really fast. I'm adding a Rothwell XLR attentuator (-20db) to mitigate this.
I could replace the W4S with a Bryston 2.5 SST2 PRO which is 23db in balanced connections, and also has up to -14db level adjustment.
Essentially I would have the same gain but without the Rothwell and an all Bryston system.
Thoughts? Anyone have experience with both amps?
Thanks!!
