Title: Bryston integrated amplifer
Post by: PierreB on 10 Dec 2016, 03:39 pm
Hi James,
Do you think a bigger integrated amplifier like the B135 but with a 4B amplifier instead of a 2.5B would be viable. Just wondering.  :scratch:
Thanks

Hi Pierre

Nothing planned at this point.

Have you ever discussed making a balanced design, or at least an integrated with proper balanced outputs?

Hi

How do you mean proper balanced outputs?  All our balanced inputs and outputs are fully differential Class A descrete designs.

Sorry to be unclear.  What I meant was, something like a version of the B1353 with some XLR outputs.

Hi Andrew

Integrated amplifiers would not have balanced outs just speaker outputs.

Or you are thinking a pre out/power in with balanced instead of single ended?

Would be nice to see a set of Balanced Inputs.

Don't know what I was thinking.

Third try to get this right: as OP says, would be nice to see with balanced/XLR inputs.  Is there something about the circuitry that doesn't permit or favor this?  I notice that all the power amps, right down to the smallest, have them...

Hi Yes - In some cases it a matter of real-estate available on the backboard and on the input circuitry.
