Don't just view - VOTE PLEASE

I have 19 inch wide Bryston amps.

These usually come with the handles so have a very comercial look to them - Which I do like.

When racked up the handles stick forward so I have removed them and then the front looks smooth.....

These are to be racked up and nothing else sticks forward past front panels.

I prefer the 19"rackmount with the handles,black.There's something about a stack of Bryston amps that just................ohhhh,it's bettern sex.Maybe to
many years of being on the the road.There's something about a few racks with
six or eight amps in each rack that does it for me,let alone the bigger concert halls that have MORE.I remember when James came to Audioark in Edmonton
they had stacked a couple of 28s on top of each other(4)two per side.
I really liked that.And then they unstacked them

.before the new Bryston introduction that evening.

My new cinema racks are four or five racks wide, with six 7B SST and one 14B SST racked up.

Hope you like the sound of that

My 2ch room has 3 racks with four 4B SST's , the 17 inch has no handles but can't rack mount, the 19 comes with handles - BUT with a little thought I have removed the handles - This is not a Bryston option, But is possible......

Hey folks

I voted handles but i prefer the 17in models. I usually buy the non handles but still would consider the handles on 17in models. If they sent my last 4bsq with handles by accident i wouldve gladly kept it.

If you have the SST series (NON C) and 17 inch wide you can actually add handles - NOT a Bryston option so difficult but it is possible.....

MAD MR H,I like your way of thinking

See if you like this then............

Cinema system

Front Left and Right - Passive Bi Amp with four 7B SST
Front center - Passive Bi AMp with 14B SST
Rear Left and Right - Single 7B SST per Speaker

Speakers are PMC MB2,MB2C

One guy at Bryston asked why I did not use 28B's instead, Another mentioned that 7's were a little ott for mids/hf.

If I could afford 28B SST² then believe me they would be installed....

2ch is PMC BB5

One 4B SST per side in bridge mode to run the Bass
One 4B SST per side to run Mid ch1, HF ch2

This is a 3 way passive tri amp system.

I think handles give Bryston amps a brute strength weightlifts look.

Could not agree more - I think it gives the amplifiers a little bit of "attitude."

I like them with handles.

Levi · « **Reply #14 on:** 1 Jul 2009, 02:12 am »

I like them without for 17". My wife keeps them dust free

alexone · « **Reply #15 on:** 1 Jul 2009, 06:13 am »

personally i like the 17" more. but i voted for the handles, 'cause the 19" need the handles to look "complete".

The C-series are gorgeous!

jethro · « **Reply #17 on:** 1 Jul 2009, 12:40 pm »

I agree with Levi, I really like the look of the consumer series with handles.
I like the previous model (the one that we are voting on) without handles, although all of my amps have handles.

19 inch silver with handles look like they were chiseled out of a block of granite.
