I was wondering what with the 4B having 'squared' technology, if it was that far ahead on performance of a PP300.  I sold all five of my PP's last year to help a house move and now I'm looking for just a pair.  I like the monoblock idea, they'll sit under each PMC, but not if they're now way behind a 4BSST2.

Ideas please.

PS. I can't afford 7B's.

I was running 5 PP 300's and now have a 4BSST2, PP300, and B100.  The new 4B sounds better than a pair of 300's, particularly at lower levels.  Overall it has more width, depth, and a 3D holographic sense to the image.  Even though my high frequency hearing is greatly diminished, it still sounds smoother to me as well.  I can't comment on bass as I have my amps running at 60hz and up.

The 4BSST2 is much better than a pair pp300 especially in the upper to mid. Furthermore, the powerpaks have not been revised to incorporate some of the improvements from the squared series.

And if and when they are updated..........please Mr . Bryston  make available as regular chassis with facelpate and call them mini monos.

I always wondered why Bryston didn't make a mono 300W(at 8 ohm) amp perhaps to accommodate a center channel, while the 4B SST feeds the front L/R. I guess it's because the 6B SST serves the same purpose. According to some home theater audioheads, the power for the front L/R and center should be shared and distributed as needed from the same amp/chassis. Who knows?
