Would love to have an all Bryston/Magnepan 7.1 hometheater system system. At $10K, the SP3 is expensive. What does the SP3 offer at that price that I can't get from an Integra DHC 80.3 surround processor supported by the same gear listed below?
SP3
6BSST2
9BSST2
BDP-2
Magnepan MG1.7
DWM/CC5
MC1

Who can answer that?

I would say read the threat:

read the reviews,
try one at home.

It's all about the sound.
