Bryston VS Musical Fidelity


Hi gang,

I'm looking for opinions on this. Has anyone compared
The Bryston 4BSST to the Musical Fidelity A5 power amp?

Hey Greg - Do you have a chance to go to any shop that has both of these, or alternately, two shops that have the same speakers. Where are you?
So far we've got bright, slow, neutral, lacking in detail and detailed.
May I suggest you start another thread - B&W CDM7SE - what amps are you using. Maybe some others have already been where you've been.
I am going to be auditioning a pair of the nuforce in mid may. I am hoping they will do well in my system
Snofun,

I've heard the Bryston 3BSST and 4BSST with Paradugn S4 speakers. The 3B was not very good with the speaker
it just did not make the speaker come alive. To me the
3B, sounded alot like the Rotel RB-1080. The 4B was much
better it made the speaker come alive.

The dealers in my area NYC don't have both, so I have not
been able to compare. I've heard the 4B with Paradigm as
mentioned above, and I've heard MF with Audio Physic speakers. I've only been able to audition Rotel and B&W.

The Rotel B&W combination is good. I actually had the
new RB-1080 amp and the Paradigm S2. I sold them to buy the RB-1090 and B&W N804 but something came up, so I borrowed my cousins two old 120W rotels and purchased the CDM7SE used.
Using the two Rotels in a Bi-amp configuratio is wta got me
interested into looking at the Bryston and MF. There is more
debth to the music when I bi-amp. My next speaker will be
the N804 (used) or a Paradigm Studio 100. I have to stay
within the 2K range (baby formula and pampers dictate that).

I was even thinking over the last few days, to just forget
about Bryston, and MF and get two RB-1080 Rotels and call
it a day. The price of the Rotels is great. I can get them
for $900 each. What do you think?
