Hi Al,

No this will be a first and it will be optional.

The 21B3 is also a good option for a three-channel cubed series amplifier.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston 28B’s – Customer Response - Thailand

December 2018

“Hi James,

I recently added the Bryston 28B Mono Amplifiers to my audio system.

I was using Devialet 1000 pro French products which is also claiming 1000watts/channel mono.

The improvement in the Bryston 28B amplifier is a very solid bottom end which made the overall tonal balance much better than before and dynamic capability with authority is outstanding on my B&W speakers.

Because of my poor English I cannot express as clearly as I want my feelings and thoughts of the improvements that the Bryston 28B amplifier makes in my system.

With the previous Devialet amplifiers the sound was much thinner and not very coherent.

I am now expecting more improvements from the Bryston 28B as burn-in progress continues. Also my new Linn Akurate DSM DAC+Pre) also needs some burning in.

Thank you for making a great amplifier.

Regards
Sung”

Hi,

I believe it was a 14B Cubed.
Magnepan is a big fan of our amplifiers and use them in their own factory testing facilities as well as at audio show demos

They sure are big fans! I recently acquired a pair of Maggie's, and called the folks down in Minnesota to pick their brains on power recommendations and a bunch of other stuff..... Once I told them I have a Bryston power amp, we quickly moved on to other topics. They basically said....perfect match!!
Gotta love it!!

Thanks James and the Bryston team - for making kick ass products in Canada!

I have a PDF of a very, very, very in depth review of the Bryston BP17 Cubed Preamplifier and 4B Cubed Power Amplifier combo from FAIRAUDIO Magazine in Germany. Some great pics as well!

My sincere thanks to Peter Ullman a dedicated audiophile and true gentleman for his translation of the German to English.

Please email me if you want a copy - it's 11 pages and 1M - jamestanner@bryston.com

Does anyone have an English copy of the FAIRAUDIO review? I emailed James but he couldn't find it.

I have a copy of the review in English, but I am not sure whether it was from Peter Ullman or an automated translation (e.g. Google). In any case, it gets the point across that this is good equipment. I don't think I can attach a file here. Alternatively, I will mail it directly to JT.

The new 28B.3s have arrived from Bryston! Photoshoot under way... these are gorgeous.

Bryston has really raised the bar in their casework from past models.

28B Cubed amplifier review in the works!!!

TJ-Sully · « **Reply #1034 on:** 6 Mar 2019, 11:57 pm »

Hey James,

A quick note to let you know my new 4B3 is nicely warming up after a few months of play.

The Bryston amp is the centre piece, the foundation of my system. Whatever I throw at it....new components, a variety of speakers, tube sources, subwoofers, new power cables....anything at all, and it keeps rocking nicely!

I sold my beloved 4BSST2 to help with the purchase of the 4B3. At first, I was saddened to see the squared hit the road.....i had thought it would be my forever amp. But this new 4B3 is definitely an upgrade!

What i notice most, is at low level listening (when the boss is home) the music remains tremendously engaging. And of course, when I'm alone, the amp let's it all hang out. It absolutely rocks! Solid as a rock. It is subtle, smooth, clean, powerful, flexible and most of all....makes me happy - especially with the Magnepan's at full tilt. Love it.

Thanks Bryston!!

Hi TJ

Great - glad you are enjoying your system - the Maggie’s are a great match with the Bryston.

yessir! Miss Maggie and Mr. Bryston are a good match indeed.
every once in awhile I pull out the big Bryston A1 speakers too!
and they ain't no slouch. always surprised with their level of refinement, given the size of the A1 beasts!

Yes I think the Bryston A1 is the Rodney Dangerfield of the speaker line - they do not get the 'respect' they deserve.

I just had a very enjoyable shopping experience buying a 14B3 here in Switzerland from the excellent Hifi shop Hifi Zurmühle ( https://www.hifi-zm.ch ) in Luzern. I spent about 5 hours in the shop listening to the 14B3 and my old amplifier side-by-side.

The 14B3 is really is an exceptionally good sounding amplifier. I'm replaced my Simaudio Moon W8 with the Bryston 14B3 and I am surprised by the improvement in sound quality.

Well done Bryston - I'm impressed.

Regards

Ron
