Just wondering...  What clearance is needed by different bryston compenents.    Is it different for the SP3 and the amps?  Is it different for the monoblocks compared to the 4B-SST2,  and different again for the 6B-SST2 or the 9B-SST2?

Are the older models needing more or less space?

I realise that the manual will have a minimum specification,  but how different is that from recommended distance,  and is there an even more generous optimum distance?

If you check the Bryston website you will get all that info.  :thumb:

Hi,

With source components like Preamps, DAC's and CD Players BDP-1 etc. there is really not much concern.

The main issue is with components that need to disapate a lot of internal heat. 

So with amplifiers you want to make sure that you have airflow over the heatsinks - which in Bryston's case is convection cooling.

I found that I needed a lot of open air space above my SP 1.7 as it would get noticeable hot if I didn't.  I could not stack any gear on top of it.
