Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2


I was all set to buy the Bryston 7B-SST2 amps to mate to a KEF Blade (or Blade2). However, the recent review of the Theta Prometheus on Stereophile has me intrigued. I like the benefits mentioned for the class D amps over AB or A. Less power consumption, run cool, small footprint.

I heard these amps at THE NEWPORT SHOW this year and they sounded very good but I cannot really tell in a show (unless it is really bad sound). I know how the Bryston sounds and like the fact that I would have a great RELIABLE amp if I went with Bryston. My pre-amp in the SS BAT VK-42SE. I will have a 2 channel computer based system, with the PS Audio DS DAC.

Anybody using these new Theta amps care to provide feedback on your experience. I would prefer to hide any new amps in a closed audio rack because of potential damage (spills etc..)

Hmmm... I was really thinking about the miniscule AC bill... The initial capital investment remains... Uhrn... Audiophrenic madness *grins!*
Yyzsantabarbara, I wouldn't write off Dan D'Agostino audio company yet, Dan just introduced some new more affordable model line's of amp's that are getting world wide reviews, check them out on his site, tell me what you think?
Hey, AL,

You are back. How are things over at your Tara Labs thread?
The new "trickle-down" D'agostino stereo amp looks gorgeous.
Cheers! J.
For anyone who is interested the latest issue of Stereophile has a review of the Benchmark AHB2 amp that I am getting for the office system. It sounds like a real sleeper amp.
yyzsantabarbara, I'm about one year behind you but going down the same path. What did you discover about the Prometheus/Blade2 combination?
