Bryston 4B ST Opinions Needed Please

My amp of choice until the Marsh came out. Read my recent posting on the Marsh in a recent thread (Marsh vs. Odyssey). Compared to the Marsh the Bryston has thinner highs (read more compressed), less bass control and a less refined midrange. Still, these are nuances: if you value a manufacturers long term commitment and track record over just the sound you might pick the Bryston.

My thanks to all for your comments, you have confirmed what I thought about Bryston. I wish all a very Merry Christmas and safe holiday season. Rick

I have been very happy with my 4BST. If you decide to go with a Bryston then you definitely want one of the ST series as it has a much lower noise floor than the previous generation of amps. The fully transferable warranty can't be beat. A pot in the right channel of my amp went bad last summer. All I had to do was to pay shipping one way to the repair center to get it fixed. As far as sound quality it compares very favorably with a Krell KSA 200S that I own. All in all, its rates as a best buy in MHOP.

Rick, get a used Adcom 5802 Amp and have Stan Warren modify it. Stan Warren used to be the S in P.S Audio. This guy is an amazing modifier. He modified my 5802 for 300 dollars. He took out the so so parts and put in top quality parts. After this mod, i have to tell you, this Amp sounds so great. The Amp as it is, is a great Amp. But after the Stan Warren mod, this Amp goes to a new level. You can talk to Stan. His number is 541 344 3696
