Mono Block power output

Rod_S · « **on:** 29 Mar 2011, 01:40 pm »

Hello;

For those of you who own 7B-SST, 7B-SST², 28B-SST or 28B-SST² amps I was curious as to how much power your spec sheets rated each amp. I know with my 2 4B-SSTs and 6B-SST all channels come in a bit higher than the stated 300 watts per channel on the marketing literature. My spec sheets all read between 330-340 watts. I would also be curious as to how the 14B-SST and 14B-SST² rate as well.

Thanks,

Rod

Greetings Rod

My Beasties² were both rated at 1280 watts on their specification sheets.

Be well...

My 7BSSTs have the following ratings:
1 – 647 Watts 8Ohm – Noise (Bal) 114db – Distortion .00264%
2 – 637 Watts 8Ohm – Noise (Bal) 118db – Distortion .00157%

Thanks.

Thanks. So those are a few watts more than each of my channels had over and above. So if 300 watts averages say 35, it looks like 600 watts may average 42 but with 1000 watts it looks like an enormous jump.

Interesting, thanks again

My 7BSST²s were 649 and 664 watts.

My 7BSST2 amps are 662 & 670 respectively. I should say that these amps have the latest upgrades (caps/transformers) and were not upgraded, came this way from the factory

Thanks for the additional replies. It looks like the SST² amps spec out at a few more watts then the older SST models they replaced. I really like how Bryston tell it like it is and don't falsify the results.

If memory serves me correctly, one of our member's 28B SST² amplifiers are rated at 1300 plus watts.

Be well...

It's been ages since I looked into Bryston prices but are they priced equally according to power i.e is the 14B-SST² double the price of a 4B-SST² and is it more or less the same price to get two 7B-SST²s as it would be to get a 14B-SST²? What of the 28B-SST², is that more or less double the price of a 7B-SST²?

Well its definitely not like condoms....Condoms cost the same no matter how good looking or ugly she can get.

My 7B SST2's tip the scales at 660 W and 660 W respectively. The most unbalanced thing about my system continues to be me ...

My pair of 7B-SST2 are both rated 647 Watts.

My pair of 28b's are rated at 1300 watts each

I have a pair of the older 7BSST2, they are both at 640 watts.

Looks like all Bryston's are conservatively rated on the power output.

My 2001 vintage 4B-ST is rated at 289 and 288 watts per channel into 8 ohms.

4B-ST's were advertised as 250 w/ch amps.

My KEF's are 6 ohm speakers, so I don't really know how many watts my 4B-ST is feeding them.

The 7B's have always been about $500.00 more than the 14 mostly due to the 7's have double the power supply capcitance. The popular notion that the 14B is 2 7B's in one chassis is not quite true.

Whoa, 5 mono blocks, very nice, must be one heck of a setup.
