Hi Bryston:
My dealer the Norwegian importer TAA import has listened to the best hi-fi equipment around. In his opinion the Bryston 14B SST2 is among the best amps around. At a comparison made in Sweden recently, it played better than all the other amps, including amps costing the double.
Comments:
My amp has not been "played in" yet (I have owned it for 5 days) but it already plays with a stunning quality and control. Fantastic. The Snell A´s are not easy to control. For the first time the sound is presented with ease. Keywords are: musicality, presenting the music as a whole, a lot of "air" around each instrument, unlimited resources (power).
