14B SST
« on: 22 Jun 2012, 12:21 am »
All I can say is this amp seems to have no limits with my setup.
Today I was playing some stuff loud and it just produces without even breathing heavy. Love this amp.
Over the years my dream was to own a system that I could play as loud as I could while still sounding crystal clear. I finally got there. 

This is my HT room Let me fix the links..   
There is about $34,000 worth of stuff here but I didn't pay that much because I bought many items used or on discount. 
Some items purchased brand new at discount. Some ebay, some full price.   
I put prices... retail/my price   
L/R: Legacy Focus SE Pearl Black $9000/5000 
Center: Paradigm C5 $5000/2500 
Surround sides: SA-15R
Ceilings $1200/600 
Surround backs: SA-15R-30
Ceilings $1200/600 
Sub: Velodyne SPL-1000 Series 1 $1100 
Sub: SVS PB13-Ultra. $1600 
AVR: Pioneer Elite SC-05 $1800/600 
Mains Amp: Bryston 14B SST $6000/3500 
BluRay: Panasonic BMP-BDT210 $200 
Plasma: Panasonic TH-65PZ850U (65") $5995/3500 
Cabinet: Salamander Synergy $1600   Totals: 

Retail: $33,650  Discount/Used: $20,800   Savings: $12,850   

My room is 25 x 25 and I used one side for the HT. Not the best but it ended up pretty darn awesome. I used all Paradigm ceilings.   SA-15R for front surrounds and SA-15R-30's for the rear surrounds. The SA-15R is down firing and the -30's are angle fired at 30 degrees.

Nice savings,that's what I did when I dumped my Shunyatas we went to China.
I don't mind buying used,depends what it is though,all my Bryston was new(I'll keep em till I drop).
My Vac pre is used so I saved 7000.00 on her as they're 14 new without PH.
One Torus I bought new(60a) and two(20a) are used,so a few thousand saved there.

  Beautiful setup.I have that plasma as well, good panel, love it. I also love that you are happy with the 14B. I'm still considering it to replace my 4B st.rather than 2 7Bs. Thanks for the pleasure... :thumb: :thumb:

Nice system!
How do you like the Legacy's? I have the same speakers driven by the 7BSST/2. The amps never get hot. The Legacy's are so efficient and clean,I don't think you could ever run out of power. Yet I still wonder what the 28's would sound like.

Like you system the rooms looks great for entertaining and two channel listening.n

I dont your sequence of photos. You have a mess of cables along with monitors. Then you show it cleaned up with the legacies?

No big deal but just wondering?
