Elizabeth, you are wrong....

The 14B is a stereo version of the 7B mono blocks with less capacitance. Both the 14 & 7s are rated for 600 w/ch @ 8 ohms. The 28s are 1000 w/ch @ 8 ohms and there is no stereo (single chassis) model where the 28s are married together - I probably couldn't get it off the ground if there was such a stereo amp...

As info to the best of my knowledge the 6B is a three channel 4B

The PP300 is essentially a mono 4B albeit in a non traditional form factor.

OK yes the 14B-SST² IS the stereo version of a pair "PAIR" of Bryston 7B-SST².
So the 14B-SST² is two 7BB-SST² stacked together into one chassis.

 The 4B-SST² is ONE 7BSST² all that is changed are the two (stereo) channels run as one mono channel, except for a few internal bits to fully accoplish the change. basically ONE 7B-SST² has exactly the same transistor numbers etc as ONE 4B-SST². In the 7B all the transistors run one channel as a monoblock, in the 4B the two sides are two channels with half the transistors running left, the other half right.

So.. the 4B-SST² IS read that IS a single 7B-SST² chassis configured for stereo instead of mono.

One 28B-SST² chassis is the same as ONE chassis of the stereo 14B-SST². Naturally one need two 28B-SST² to use as a stereo pair

Taking  the 4B-SST² and doing what the OP seems to want is just making a pair of 7B-SST² out of a pair of 4B-SST²

Or another interpretation of splitting the 4B-SST² into two half size monoblocks would be fine. Except it would cost a LOT more than the 4B-SST² Due to having two full chassis, two transformers, and two cases.
I doubt lots of folks would be willing to pay the upcharge for it.

Lately Bryston have churn out so many different products which are all good but I hope they will continue to innovate in their core product that is amplifiers where they are known for.

So I voted yes...with a number of reasons:

1) I believe the 4BSST2 is one amplifier that is among the most popular and sought after model within Bryston range of amplifier.
2) The power range in this amplifier fits comfortably in most speakers power requirement and as well as filling most of our current listening space.
3) Making this a mono with higher quality transformer, capacitance, giving higher class A current bias, offering the same reliability and warranty Bryston famous for, etc. yet occupying the same width and depth (maybe a little deeper) of current 4BSST2 but built it taller by 3 inch or so will fit into many current rack space.
4) We may call it 4BSST2 monos, reference, SE, or whatever desired..the above juiced up version will certainly attract many current 4BSST2 owner and it their ref for a long time to come.

However, if its just to splitting the 4BSST2 into two chassis make no sense and will not sell either.

Just a thought... 

[Elizabeth]

One point about 'too many models' is that creates confusion in the minds of buyers.. And annoyance in the hearts of dealers.. And a few too many 'close' products can ruin the sales of all of them. So Bryston would have to raise the price of all of the ones in the cluster, due to selling fewer of each.
Just the fact one can order each amp with or without handles.. AND either in black or silver must drive dealers crazy.. (for in stock sales) I know my dealer had to order my amp from Bryston, as he did not HAVE a 'black with handles' 4B-SST² in stock. (He did have a black no handles, and a silver with handles.. But I wanted what i wanted.. LOL)

[Daniel Datchev]

Sorry Elizabeth,
but 14B-SST, which I own is a stereo version of 7B-SST
28B-SST and 7B-SST are mono blocks, which means they can drive a single speaker.
4B-SST is a stereo version, which single equivalent could be Power Pack P300.

[Elizabeth]

There is no further point to discussing this. Obviously we are each discussing DIFFERENT things. I can see your point. Too bad you cannot see mine. 

[PierreB]

I vote no because I think  Bryston have already enough power amps for every situation. 2B, 3B, 4B, 7B, 14B, 28B.
What I would love to see is a 50w/ch Tube Amp from Bryston.

Hi PierreB

Sorry no chance of that.

The 7B IS the mono 4B.. So I have no idea WHY this is being asked.
Did anybody actually think before asking this?
Now if you want each channel of a 4B it be in a separate chassis.. The cost would be excessive. Almost right up to a pair of 7Bs anyway. For a separate  case and transformer... $$$
I am just mystified...

No, it is not. The 7b's are 600watts into 8ohm and the mono version of a 4b would be 300watts into 8ohm load. 

[rmurray]

  That's exactly what I mean. Having a smaller sized mono block 4b would be a  more cost effective alternative to 7bs if the 300 watts power is all you need. Separation would be more absolute due to having 2 chassis as well a the ability to place closer to speakers. Until this happens I will keep going with my current 4B ST .

[redbook]

  The 4b mono makes sense to me. I would buy them in a heartbeat. All Bryston has to do is redo the power pack300 to a shelf style regular chassis . This would be their chance to give them the squared treatment as well.( what ever that is).
