Interesting review by Robert Fijałkowski above. But I must disagree with his remark about discarding (older) recordings that are less than well-recorded. In fact, my own experience with Bryston gear is that, in my system, I still like listening to older recordings (e.g. Karajan's Beethoven symphonies from the 1950s, Philharmonia Orch on EMI; Roy Orbison of the 1950s, Julie London of the 1960s), despite some occasional tape hiss (e.g. Claudio Arrau's piano recs from the late 1940s, Columbia/RCA). The musicianship and artistry still shine through despite these technical artifacts being present. I certainly would not want any gear that would "smooth" out recordings and make them sound "nicer" to my ears. To each his/her own.
cheers
