The follow statement is in the Bryston SST2 Brochure. From what I can determine from reading many posts on the 2B SST2 this may not be a true statement.  The 2B SST2 uses 2 transistor output, not 4 like the 3B and above.

All SST2 amplifiers use Bryston’s proprietary output stage, which we call “Quad-Complementary.”

Am I right, or just confused?

Can be confusing, but you are right, only the 3B and up have  “Quad-Complementary.”.

No we're confused   You have to have a minimum of 4 output devices per channel before the quad circuit is utilized.

Please correct me if im wrong, but quad complementary afaik does not relate to the number of output devices per se ie. those 2 "big" 21193/4's  we see bolted to the heat-sink (in the case of the 2B or B60 or B100's).  It relates to the neat little package consisting of a set of 4 transistors (including one of those 15030's or 15031's and 2 others you'll need to refer to the circuit diagram for). Bryston is credited to be the first designer for this.
