Bryston 7bsst vs 28bsst?

There are those who feel that you can never have too much power, especially with a maggie. At the CES, magnepan has used 4 7BSST in biamp mode, or one 28. They should know, and a big room would make it appropriate. The character is the same, but the dynamics are different, at least 3dB worth. jallen

Bryston does not list the 28B-SST output at 4 ohms. I wonder why?? For an amp that boasts 1,000 wpc @ 8 ohms, omitting the output at 4 ohms is a glaring omission and immediately sends up a red flag in my book. The 28B-SSt is two bridged monoblocs. Bryston does list the output of the 7B-SST at 4 ohms. My guess is that the 28 might have trouble with a 4 ohm load. I suggest you call Bryston before you pull the trigger on a 28B-SST and ask them how the amp will perform at 4 ohms.

Audiolui, I am confused by your statement. R u saying the 28B SST and 7B sound the same?

I have a pair of the 28 Squared mono's paired up with my MBL 101E speakers and they are a great match, no issue performing at 4 ohms.

Camali I sent you a email, did you receive.

28's are indeed special amps and I heard them in a system compared directly to the 7's and the only similarities were that they are both mono blocks and manufactured by the same company Bryston.

Dev,

Yes, I got it-thanks
