Remember me!!! I had the Bryston 4B SST that we were thinking of trading for the Odyssey monoblocks? Well I have sold the Bryston and now have a Sim Audio Titan 5 channel amp. Much better than the Bryston. More detailed, neutral and transparent. Less harsh and grainy in the highs. IMHO definitely better than the Bryston. But then it's more expensive as well
I own a 4B-ST and W5. The W5 smokes even the 7B-ST, which I had in my system for a 1 week demo. Compared to the Brystons the W5 is much more liquid, refined, and dynamic. Additionally the W5 is much more airy than the brystons.
I too have a Sim Titan 5x200 amp. I used to have 4B-ST and 5B-ST Brystons, as well as Pass Labs x-series. The Sim is easily the better amp as described by the other posters.
It also runs with almost NO heat output, whether idling or in full-blast HT mode. I found this to be more then a passing advantage over both my Brystons and Pass amps due a cramped rack configuration (and a desire to avoid heating my whole house 24x7!).
