Hi Fellas,

I have recently discovered Bryston Amps and im in Love... so much that I currently have 4 4B's pro amps they have roughly about 1.5 years of warranty left in them.  I have no reason to doubt that they will serve me for many years to come as 3 of them were seldom used by the orginal owner.  I have had them for about 2 months now and the sound is well music to my ears.  They are paired with a Marantz AV8003 reciever and 5 DIY Klipsch Lascala's.
 I recently had a problem with some pro amps that I was using to power 4 Tc sound 15" subs in sealed enclousers.  Not to mention the fans are a bit loud.  So Ive been thinkin lately... thinkin of making another set of subs except out of a Tapped Horn design.  I was thinking of powering them with another Pair of Brystons maybe 7B's.  Unless the 4Bs would work as well.   Do the 7B's  output more than a pair of 4B's in bridged mode?  I could not find any specs on the older line just the newer st and sst series.  I did notice that on Brystons Web site a 7Bsst would do a 4 ohm load and the 4bsst said 8ohm.  Also do they have a built in filter that limits output in the sub 20hz area to cut out put? 

I need to stick with older units as my pockets arent that deep. At some point My end goal is to upgrade over time and use a 6bsst and a 4bsst to power my 5 channels or maybe some PP300s.
Thanks guys for any info.

Hi Nick,

From experience the 7B out performs a bridged 4B (ST & SST) for bass use.

Bryston show 0-100Hz range without filters.

I prefer PP300 & 4B SST over the 6B. Personal taste.....


PS - Welcome to the Bryston family, you will find many helpful people here, post some pictures of your system...........

Thanks for the reply.  I dont have any current pics... currently i have one of the 4bs back at bryston for a checkup.   What do the older 7bs output?

about 500...

the specs for the early range are at www.Bryston.ca under legacy amps in the technical section.
