I always wondered how tough are the output transistors SJ6521A/SJ6522A "custom-made" transistors by motorola for Bryston?. Does Motorola make them "tougher" for Bryston than the "usual" ones that we find like Toshiba ones?. I guess they must be tough to provide a 20 years warranty right?.

   You answered your own question.....

Bryston transistors are so tough they can slam revolving doors...

What will happen if you try driving a dead short?  Not a problem for Pass Labs Aleph 3!

Arc welding are we ?

Not at all, but accidents can - and do happen.  And who needs the hassle of changing a fuse, assuming that is an option?

Hi Folks,

The amps have a short circuit protection circuit.

Do all Bryston models have the same short circuit protection? I do not remember where I read but, if an internal fuse goes...you have to send the unit for service!. is that true?

It would depend on the fault - if you blow one of the output devices then service would be required.

You don't need to go that expensive:

That is interesting info about Anthem amplifiers.

Hi James, do you know how many output transistor is in the 7B?  Just curious.

Bryston transistors are so tough they were in all 6 star wars movies..... as the force.

Hi Levi,

16 in the 7B

I brought one of those home last year for a week.  It certainly was a loud amplifier. It wasn't musical in any sense. Just loud.
