B135 Discontinued to be replaced with...

Curious to know.
Seems to me it would be hard to improve on the design, so what's in the works?

Bryston made brief mention of a new B-200, which will likely be a fusion of a BR-20 and a 3B3. I would expect retail to be at least 10K, but it will likely come standard with top of the line DAC and streaming, rather than add ons. Its likely months away so expect an official announcement soon.

So something akin to NAD's M33 but Class A.

HI Folks - it will be called the Bi-200 - it will be a combination of the BP-19 and a 3B Cubed.

Great news!

Please make it so adding a second 3B externally turns it into a 400w monster.

No thanks. Bridging reduces low impedance drive capability on any amp.

Hi Mike - I am hoping next month. No pics yet but the faceplate will look much like the BP-19.

James, any DAC/streaming options on the new integrated, or will you be recommending the BDA 3.14 via XLR input? Are you going to keep it pure analog for maximum S/N, just like the BP-19?

Mr. Tanner, are you able to update news of the release of the Bi200?

James Tanner · « **Reply #18 on:** 8 Nov 2023, 10:10 pm »

Hi - we are starting to build the BP-19 preamp this month and the Bi200 will follow shortly after.

James,

the Bi200 is Bryston‘s brandnew model. Can we expect some more new (and more powerful) integrated amps??
