Bryston announcing new SST3 amps

drummermitchell · « **Reply #420 on:** 5 Mar 2016, 10:13 pm »

In 2006 or 2007 the 4B-SST was around 3300(depending on the dealer)up to 3600
The 7B-SST was exactly the same price as the 4B-SST and has the SAME amount of power(combined) as the 7B-SST monoblock. Jezzuz have had the 7 for that long(10yrs.) and nada problemo.
Course she does just centre channel duty so I'm sure she's not even broke in yet

.
I bet my 7B-SST2 doing surrounds duty will never be really broke in LOL.

No sorry - all gone.

James, can a 4B SST2 still be special ordered? If so, how long would it take to fulfill the order?

I do not think so but I will check - what colour and size?

They tell me they can do one for you as a special order.

Did I maybe make a mistake in ordering the 2.5(3) for my proac studio 148's. There a 4 ohm load @91 db. To my understanding these are a easy load even though they are a 4 ohm load. I sit about 6 feet from the speakers. I know the amp isn't shipped yet so I could probably upgrade. Any thoughts to how that amp would handle the Proac's. I do like volume but not earth shaking for my taste in music.

Based on the ProAc Studio 148 91dB sensitivity and a 6 ft. listening distance, the 2.5BSST³, which can output 180W into 4 ohms, could drive them to a peak of ~ 111dB (if the speakers were capable of that level), and that calculation is without any gain from room boundary reinforcement taken into consideration.

If I hit 85 db testing from my iPhone that's more than I ever listen to more at 80 is my level. Thanks for that response greatly appreciated.

I have a 2B SST that drive my ProAc D18 in a room of 14' x 24' x 8'. Like you I do like volume and I never have a problem. I'm very very happy with my combo.

I'm interested in probably getting a 3B³ Amplifier to run a new pair of Amphion 3S.
Anyone have an idea yet on price range for the 3B³ Amplifier?
Thanks

schmidtmike76 · « **Reply #431 on:** 9 Mar 2016, 04:25 am »

5000 mark give or take that was my deciding factor for a extra 1000 was it worth the extra power.

Rod_S · « **Reply #432 on:** 9 Mar 2016, 05:23 pm »

Did the top covers remain the same for the cubed amps as they were for the SST2's? i.e. same dimensions and screw holes in the same places thus completely interchangeable with SST's?

James Tanner · « **Reply #433 on:** 9 Mar 2016, 10:56 pm »

Hello James.

I have finally received the two 7B3 amps and got them connected to my preamp & speakers without any issues.

They look GREAT, much better than the pictures on the website. They sound way better than I imagined.

I can’t thank you enough.

Best regards

Hi James - You recently mentioned that Bryston will have a presence at AXPONA, so I was curious to know if any of the new Cubed amps will be on demo there. TIA!

I think Gary will be using 7B Cubed amps
