I'm considering replacing my current amp (Krell Showcase) with a Bryston. Speakers are Martin Logan Vantages + Motif X center. I'd be grateful for any opinions on the 6B vs. the 9B route or the pairing of my speakers with Bryston amps generally. Thank you!

IMO I would go with the 6B SST2 at 500 watts/4 ohms. From looking at the specs for Vantages sensitivity ranges from 4 ohm to 1 ohm. With the 9B you may be short on power at 200 watts/4 ohms if you play your music loud.

Disagree with above posters. I'm running the bigger ML spires and Stage (with surround Scripts) with 5-channel 9bSST.  Never have I seen the amp clip or detected any distortion. Has anyone? 6bsst2 is likely overkill.
