Harder question would be: will it be 10% or 15% better than SST2?  :duh:  :duh:  :duh:

It's tough to put a percentage on it as the differences may be more prevalent in some systems and minimal in others.

So far in my setups I have had a chance to listen to the Cubed 7B's and the 4B's and the lower mids and upper bass has more body and better transient response and the soundstage space is more extended in terms of width. depth and height while still maintaning good image placement.

I obviously understand that and mine was more a provocation due to the fact that the current SST2 range already has a very high price point here in my country so it will become hard to justify ourselves an additional increase above the initial 10% originally stated.
But let's live and see what happens...

Kudos to James and Bryston.


Whether I upgrade my 28's, or sell/trade and buy new, I've decided not to be without Bryston. I am fully invested in whatever Bryston decides because these give me the most satisfaction out of a lot of gear.

I have a 4b St with a few upgrades and a stock 4b sst2.  You will notice the difference.  Question is will the cubed be noticeably better than the squared?
  Just wondering what upgrades could be done to the 4bst ?

I wasn't upgraded to a SST or SST2, that wasn't possible.  Several years ago Bryston did replace (upgraded) some existing components with longer lasting and higher reliability components, at least that is what they told me.   Service didn't say what they had replaced but it was done over and above the original issue with a switch.  Certainly speaks volumes about the excellence of Bryston's support and service.

Hi

The Pro versions will have the current faceplates not the new ones.

Hi

The 4B ST does not have any updates available as it is a much older design.

So by the sounds of things the faceplates won't be changed on upgraded SST2's so what about the other way around, can the cubed amps be ordered with the SST2 faceplates so we at least have an opportunity to keep the looks of our mixed bag of amps the same? :D

We may be able to in the short term for as long as the SST2 faceplates are available - I would not recommend it though as it may hamper any resale.

Just think before long with wages never increasing, more taxes, cost of living going out of sight, medical care and any insurance taking most of our wage,  expensive audio gear or anything these days well could be an after thought instead of a possible purchase.  Makes the equipment we have now seem rather enjoyable.

One will just need to reorder priorities.  I am sure the wife will understand why she has to take on a second job    :icon_lol:

First thing, can not wait to hear the improvement from the SST2s version :thumb:....

Will you have any special events in Toronto to showcase the amplifiers in action?

And any timeline on the 6B and 9B introductions of the new cube version?

Ciao, Luigi

Hi Luigi

It may be a while as we think we want to incorporate ethernet connections on the 6B and 9B as they are generally used in Surround systems and connectivity seems to be a priority with our dealers and distributors.
