Bryston 4B cubed and Revel Salon 2
« on: 29 Sep 2020, 03:29 am »
Has anyone tried Bryston 4B cubed with Revel Salon 2?
What have you thought about this combination?
Would it be enough only one in stereo mode or would I require a pair in mono?

Hi Q,

What is the nominal impedance of the Salon's? Also the efficiency?

Thank you for your replies. The efficiency Appears to be of 86db, I forgot that Bryston works in mono at 8ohms, do you think there might be a problem by using it this way?

Or would it be better to use only one amplifier in stereo mode?

What do you think?

Thank you.

Hi

When you bridge an amplifier it 'see's' 1/2 of the impedance it does in stereo so it is a concern to some degree if using speakers that are normally at 4 ohms or lower.

With the Salons I think you would be fine using the mono position but I usually recommend a larger stereo amp over bridged configuration.
