after almost a month powered up with the 28's, I finally have had a chance to watch some movies in my "man room". I decided on the 28's for 2 reasons. First the great reviews in both stereophile and 6 moons. their reviews are dead on. Musically these amps are just out of this world. I have found nothing they don't do extremely well. very musical, great presentation, good timber, ultra fast on magnepans, stage is enormous and multi-layered, on and on. The second reason I purchased these was the comments, "musical from the first watt". this they most definitely are. and this is what I believe makes them a great front 3 channel amp for home theater. the volume can be kept down to a normal level. I am now hearing things in movies I never heard before. everything that makes them great musical amps, carries over to movies. but when a sound effect or something happens, it produces a realism like I have never heard. these will go from 2 mph to 200mph in a blink. its like someone just stepped on the gas with unlimited horsepower. soft background music has a quality i have never before heard. no fatigue what so ever. one day over memorial day weekend, i watched 3 blue ray movies with my wife back to back. very very pleasing experience. no listening fatigue what so ever. and some of the sound that is starting to be put on blue ray discs.....wow. I guess when they have a 50 gig disc to work with, they can come up with some really interesting stuff. once I get the 14 in the system for the surrounds, I feel like my journey will be over. I cant say how pleased overall I am with the Bryston/Torus upgrade I have done.
