Was this comparison done with the 7B SQ with the "new type of transformer" ie S/N 001826 and above? When I tested the 7B-SST against the 7B-SST SQ before the "new type of transformer" I found only a modest change. I have made the same comparison with the 4B-SST and the 4B-SST SQ both of which I have in my system and there is (IMHO) only a very modest difference. I understand there was a bigger improvement with the new transformer.

Both 7B'sd were above that S/N number.All of the latest and greatest.All 3 of us found a profound difference.The New SQ is like a glass of the finest wine.

For me, pretty much all of the reasons listed above in this post.  Also, I started out similarly to Elizabeth who uses Magnepan 3.6.  Researches on good amp matching with these planar speakers led me here:  show reports as well as online review articles related to Maggies and Bryston.

This very forum, James Tanner & team, and our friends in here are definitely good reasons for "Why Bryston?". 

Happy New Year 2011 to all.
