Bryston 14 B SST with Martin Logan SL3 speakers?
Joe-I agree that Bryston's are great amps. I never would have bought 2 of them had I not believed that. My disappointment came when using the Brystons WITH MARTIN LOGANS. The Pass amps do not have the same character in my system - they just sound ... 
Bryston 14 B SST with Martin Logan SL3 speakers?
