Bryston and Lexicon each have their own warranties.  Bryston is 20 and I believe Lexicon was 5

We made Lexicon amps for about 4 years about 10 years ago.  They are NRB versions mostly and the 501 was the same as our 9B back then.

Let me check - it's been a while - an I'm getting old :D
i think the 7B version of the Lexicon was called the 701?

Just ask him to send a picture if its a 7B it will have 1 LED if a 9B it will have 5 LED's.

For the discerning audiophile we offer this pair of demo Lexicon 501 mono blocks, which are actually the acclaimed Bryston 7B ST mono blocks rated at a staggering 800 Watts per channel. Bryston sold these to Lexicon to go with Lexicon's high-end processors. They have this Lexicon branded faceplate with a green stripe as you see in the photos. Other than that, they are identical to the Bryston 7B ST - with identical specs.  these are the claims on the listing. are they accurate. Im aware that Bryston 7b is 800 watts is into 4ohm not 8 didnt see any leds in the photos

Ok - looks like the 501 was Lexicon's version of our 7B.

Sorry James I'm sure you thought this thread was put to rest. Is it the 7b nrb equivalent or 7bst as stated in the listing.

No the NRB is a different and earlier version of the amplifier.
