Hi Raimo

Greetings! - glad you are enjoying your system!
Yes I try to use the bypass concept as well as double blind testing.
Please let me know what you think of the 4B Cubed when you get things setup.

Hi James.
I will come back with my thoughts, it will probably arrive next week, i ordered a BDA3 as well but that will take maby 3-4 weeks.
I currently have a BDA1, i can comment on it too.
Is it a bad idea to bridge the 4B3 in to a 4ohm speaker? My speakers are a kind load and do not play bass under 80Hz.
If i want more power in the future.

[Raimo]

Hi James, i got my 4B3 a week ago. It sounds superb, much clearer yet sweeter sounding than my 4BSST.
It is a rare combination in electronics, normally when something sounds clearer it often sounds more harsh.
My 4BSST replaced a Rotel RB1080 in my bass system. Now the bass is clearer than before, it is easier to hear the individual bass instruments. Not a small upgrade in total, very happy with my new system.
I am still waiting for my BDA3, looking forward to hear it. I hope it will give the same kind of improvement as the amps.
I will come back when i have it in my system.

Hi, now i have some more time with my Bryston stuff. The last comment was mostly after i just got going and still was adjusting my
electronic crossover. I have a little different type of bass woofers, it is 6 10" in small sealed enclosuers. It gives the same auocustic output as 2 woofers in bigger vented boxes. To get the lower bass you have to install a infra boost circuit in the crossover and adjust the system.
After a few days i listened to the end result and was blown avay .
It is amazing what a difference a good bass amp makes! It opened up the total sound space in a unbelievable way!
It is not only the bass but all the way up, everything gets crystal clear in a amazing big sound space!
I was hoping for improvements but did not expect this much.
I am even more happy with the amps now .
Thanks to all you at Bryston for making such quality products .
Here is a link to Swedish Audio forum with my audio room project, it is in Swedish but there are a lot of pictures that anybody can follow.

It is a little about my past systems and general house improvement too.
Best Regards Raimo.

^ @ Raimo, did you get to go to hear The Boss in Sweden? Very cool.

Yes, i was at Ullevi stadion in Gothenburg in 85 i think it was.
It was avsome, and the sound was too. Normally i am not a big fan of big concerts, i prefer small more intimate sessions.
But that concert is the best one i have been too .

The Boss sure puts on a good show.

James,

What is the status for the 6B and 9B SST3 models?  Will they be available soon?

And will there more options to consider with these new amplifiers?....

Hi Luigi

The 9B is being worked on now and I would say about 3 months - the 6B still a good year out.

Options would be the standard colour and size faceplates.

Hi James,

And "wow", I was expecting both the 6B and 9B early this year.  Is the new design difficult to design into these multi-channel amplifiers?

Hi Luigi

Not all that difficult but engineering time has to be set aside and so far this year we have been up to our ears in other projects.

Hey James,

You got me curious for the new Bryston projects for 2017, any clues to what we can expect?

Luigi

[Grant Hill]

Maybe BDP3

HI

The new digital active crossover for the Model T and Middle T .  A 3 channel amplifier for the active system, a combination preamp with BDA3 and BP26 in one chassis. The Model T REX loudspeaker.  Chris is looking at faster circuit boards for the BDP's and working on better software etc.

Whew! Santa's workshop is a busy place.

James,

The combo will be very interesting -- why not BP26? I'm guessing BP25 would negate need for an MPS external?

Also, I would love to "update" my BDP-1 board to one that's faster-loading for my external USB drives. Possible?

No sorry the BDP 2 could possibly be updated to newer boards but I do not think the BDP-1 can due to power supply issues and such.

james

[Grant Hill]

A new version of BDP2 will be very interesting... maybe able to read native DSD to pair with BDA3 

[alexone]

...good news, James i guess the 26/BDA-3 combo will be a hit!! and i would say that an integrated amp with new digital inputs is something that Bryston should do as well
