Looking for NEW amp...would a Bryston 3Bsst output more power than a Krell 400xi amp?

I have a pair of Martin Logan Advange speakers and I am looking for something that will offer plenty of power! The krell 400xi is rated at 200 watts and the Bryston 3bsst is rated at 150 watts, but has a dual channel design. That being said, would the Bryston amp offer more current and power to the logans?

PS. Is there a huge difference in sound between the Bryston 3Bsst and 4Bsst?

thank you, any info is greatly appreciated.

FYI: Bryston has an all-new lineup of amps (see current TAS magazine).

I believe the 4Bsst would have double the power of the 3Bsst (150 vs 300W). You will notice a hair more ’control’ in the music with the 4Bsst. But nothing earth shattering. But when pushed to the max the 4Bsst will be better. Again not earth shattering IMO - just a bit louder.

Best would be to demo them yourself.

May I suggest the Spectron musician III mk 2.... Top of the line class D... Oodles of power...I replaced my Cary v12 R with one...couldn't be happier.
