Hello..

I am a new owner of Bryston and am extremely happy but I have a question. It is probably a newbie question but here goes.

I have a BP-6 connected to my 3B SST. They are running Totem Acoustic Hawks speakers.
I notice that my right speaker sounds louder than my left speaker. I had an older Integrated Luxman amp and did not notice this. I am sure the Bryston gear is just more accurate.

If I switch the Channel gain to 1V it is louder but unbalanced, if I change the switch to 2V gain it is quieter but the speakers sound balanced. Is that normal?

I have tried a few different cables and it is the same.

Is this normal and do I just change the balance dial on my BP-6?

Thanks

Make sure the Stereo /Mono switch on the back of the 3B is in the stereo position.

Hi James.
I'm sorry but I do not see a stereo/mode switch on the back of my 3B SST. I looked on the actual unit and in the manual.
I see a bridged and individual and that is set as individual.

Now, I can be sure that you are new to Bryston world.
bridged = Mono
individual = stereo

OK.
Can you hear the difference now or they are balance?
What is your source? CD player, Turntable, Digital player

It is still unbalanced. If I switch to 2V gain, the volume is lower but it seems to balance out the sides.
I am listening to a CD player.

You have to find out where is the problem first.
switch your speakers not cables and see if your right speaker is still louder.
The V1 or V2 is a option to change the gain and has nothing to do with balance.
Make sure the polarity is correct as well.

I switched the speakers and the sound is still louder on the right speaker.
I moved back and the sound did seem to blend together and sound good. I am wondering if I have to get used to stereo sound coming from a higher quality and truer system.

I knew that magic works in audio but nobody wants to listen to me.
Well, listen and enjoy for few days then let us know.
Just out of curiosity, What was the model number of your luxman?

Yes I guess I experienced the difference of being in the "sweet" spot of stereo that was not as noticeable with my older receiver. It was a Luxman L-210
