Bryston VS Musical Fidelity

I trust you'll hear various opinions for various reasons. Here's one comparison no one can argue with - I'd think about who has more confidence in their product, and fewer caveats - why doesn't Musical Fidelity cover ex-demo pieces anyway?
As always, trust your own ears.

I own the Bryston 4BSST and love it. It is neutral and excels lin letting you hear exactly what is there. It has the power to control your speakers and allow them to sing

Id say it depends on what you want to power with it, ive heard Totem mani-2's set up in an all bryston system (4bsst and bp25 pre) and in an all musical fidelity system (a3cr pre and power) and no contest the musical fidelity was more enjoyable, despite being obviously underpowered for those speakers (the bass was far lighter than i know there capable of)musical fidelity was smoother, easier to listen to, more musical in general, trebel was sweeter. the bryston had way better bass.

that said my father uses bryston 7bst and they've workes flawlessly for years, they sound very good, but to my ears not particularily engaging

I own and like my Musical Fidelity amp.
However had I know about the warranty in advance I'd not have purchased it.

That said, bought a amp based on ears and warranty a few years ago. Ten year warranty from a company with a long history in audio.
If the company goes out of business (Threshold) the warranty is as good as the piece of paper on which it's written.
