It would be divine....if the future Quad-series of poweramps could have the option of a wood cabinet front panel. My Vienna Acoustics speakers have solid cherry wood cabinetry and they look/sound absolutely gorgeous.

Vienna Acoustics builds very beautiful speakers, but I couldn't find any with solid cherry wood cabinetry.  According to Vienna Acoustics, the Mozart Grand Symphony Edition are "beautifully finished with selected real wood veneers", and even the Reference Klimt series are veneered. (?)

Canadian distributor is Bluebird. They carry the Mozarts in cherry.

Plugged my 7B3's in but the status on the back is flashing red continuously, even when not connected to speakers, and I can't seem to get them out of that mode.

Any ideas ?

Hi

Yes for safety reasons the breaker on the back has to be in the ON  position before you plug in the power cable  to the  wall

Thanks Maestro/James !

Despite me moving house soon, I decided that I could not wait a whole month before opening the boxes and listening to my new 7B3's and boy are they good ! First impressions are extraordinary... as others have said, it is the depth of the noise floor, and therefore the dynamics of the sound, that are their most obvious feature, but after just an hour or so of listening the speed, timbre, space, placement, *everything* is a real step up!

Congratulations to James and Team - a truly revelatory and, dare I say "Revolutionary" rather then "Evolutionary" improvement !

If face plates can be swapped... couldn't someone just make their own?

Is that correct? It seems counterintuitive.

Hi

The way it works is if for some reason the power amp shorts out or has a safety issue once the circuit breaker pops - even if you put it back into ON position the amplifier will not restart.

Hi James,

Are the 6B and 9B already available with their new cosmetics? And how about the plans that there wil be cubed versions of the 6B and 9B?

Regards,

WillyP

Hi Folks

Yes we finally received a ‘patent’ on new circuitry we have been working on for over a couple of years now.

This new circuitry will be utilized in the new Stereo and Mono Bryston ‘Cubed Series’ of amplifiers. It does not apply to the modular multi-channel 6B or 9B at this point but we are looking at that going forward. The newest version of the B135 Integrated amp also applies.

There are new cosmetics as well for all the power amplifiers including the 6B and 9B.

James

Hi Willy

I believe the new cosmetics are going to be available soon.  The Cubed versions are probably at least 6 months out.  The 9B and 6B are modular designs and the Cubed input circuits have to be handled in a differnt way.

Thank you very much for your prompt answer. Shouldn't you be sleeping now instead of answering E-mail?
