Well, I just couldn’t help myself. Too excited not to share it with y’all. Unpacked the long-awaited,
Bryston 28B SST2 monoblocks and got ‘em hooked to the Aerial 20T’s.
The 14B is now going to power the model 9’s, which will serve as mains for the home theater set up… a work in progress.
The big difference in the upgrade is an astonishing elevation in realism and soundstage.
The voices and instruments are more in the absolute sound realm than I modesly expected.
I believe I’ve found a remarkable pairing here with a pair of speakers made to truly shine with this level of gear.
I’m simply, over-the-moon impressed. As I’m writing this, listening to Sierra Hull’s, Weighted Mind, streaming Tidal, via Roon, using a Sonore optical
Rendu streaming module, a BDA-3 and a BP-26. Oh, my… Steve
Thats’s exactly how I feel about my 28 Squared amps. Far more capable in all dimensions that the 4B Squared they replaced - An unbelievable upgrade!
I’m an analog guy. No digital in the listening room. Two years ago I upgraded my turntable from a Well Tempered Amadeus with Grado Reference cart to their 254-GT with Grado’s Aeon. The 28’s sang even more sweetly with greater detail. I am deleriously happy with the sound in my room.
