Dunno Dave, this was maaany years ago.... meanwhile Bryston was busy improving performance while Rotel was busy reducing manufacturing costs....

What's funny... some of them might still be under warranty???

Now that's a feat....

Bryston's James Tanner with the July/August/September 1977 issue of the The Audio Critic, which includes the first-ever Bryston amplifier review. - 4B

Awesome, James. What was your reaction when you first read the review?

That's a great read, considering I have a 4B from '81. I just got a Superphon SP-100 pre for it, which was upgraded by Stan himself.

Next on my shopping list, a color tv.
