James,

the 875HT amps seem to have a different styled frontplate compared to the C-Series (SST²) amps. somehow the 875's front and the SP2's front look the same... ?!?

correct?

Hi al,

Not sure I understand - post the pictures.

...this is from the current website:
http://bryston.com/875ht_m.html
http://bryston.com/sp2_m.html
and this is the 2B SST² for example...

James,

there is a review from "The Audio Critic" about the 875 and they say that Bryston doesn't specify an FCC rating for this amp (driven into 4 ohms).

what is a FCC rating?

Ones a 19 inch rackmount pro style faceplate and the other a 17 inch consumer style.

ok. so the 17" C-Series version of the 875 looks like the rest of the 17" C-Series SST² amps?

Correct but because we usually sell the 875 into commerial zone systems I do not think we have ever sold a c-Series faceplate version.

[alexone]

but i guess that a faceplate change can be done if needed by the customer.

Yes but it is not an easy job with all the LEDs etc. that need to be lined up.

I wish Bryston would issue a 575HT or 675 HT. 75 watts per channel would be more than adequate for my center and surround speakers set @ 80hz crossover. Add to it a 4B-SST2 for my L/R and you have a perfect 7 channel amp system.

A 5 or 6 channel version would save me some cash and keep me from looking at less expensive  alternatives for my surround upgrade. 

I had a Classe' CAV-75 driving my center and surrounds about 10 years ago and I loved it, never felt like I needed more power. I would be very interested in a 5 or 6 channel version of the Bryston 875HT.

...so that would mean additional costs due to the complexity of the job??

Not at the factory level but do not try this at home.

...I'm not an engineer so i would never ever even try to manipulate any amplifier for any matter

James,

are there any topless pictures of the 875HT ? i searched the web and couldn't find much...

thanx,

al.

James,

since the 875 has no gain switch i'd have to use the level control on the back of the amp. i guess the lowest relates to 23db and the highest relates to 29db?

Hi Al

It has a range of 29 to13dB
