This has probably been brought up before, but I'm new so please forgive me... 

Since this thread gets the eyes of a Bryston VP, I would like to make the observation that the new Bryston model names seem to be an unfortunate choice.  So much of high end audio is now internet driven via online audio magazines, dedicated audio web sites and forums, and internet retail sites that it's rather important that a model name be distinctive and easily searchable.  There is no squared key on a normal computer keyboard.  This makes searching for online information about the new Bryston amps more difficult.  I see people calling them "SST2" or "SST-2" or "SST 2"  or "SST SQUARED" and more.   Even worse, some people leave the two off the end entirely creating complete confusion between the out going models and the new models.


I know it's a hassel to change, but Bryston might consider changing the model names officially to "SST2" (that's a two, not squared).

I much prefer "SST²" and be most welcome

 

Be well...

I think James explained the choice of name in another thread last year and the squared designation is more important than the number 2.  I think Bryston wanted to portray an enhancement of the SST series more so than that it is the 2nd iteration of SST.  I agree with your argument that it does make searching more difficult unless you are like Laundrew and have one of those scientific/engineering/robot controlling keyboards that most of us don't have .

Personally I would choose the pattern alphabet for models of audio equipment: 3BA, 3BB, 3BC...3BX, 3BY, 3BZ
But 3BSST2 is OK to me.

P.S.>  A integrated amp as the B100sst, would be named I100A, I100B, I100C etc...

SST² is fine by me. The little 2 is cute! haha.
