Bryston VS Musical Fidelity

I owned a 4B SST and 14B SST which I used with Aerial 7B and Von Schweikert VR4 SE louspeakers. I would not characterize the Bryston amps as warm. Neutral, yes.

Ehoehn, you own a Bryston, right? Would you characterize your Bryston as warm?

I would characterize it as neutral. it doesn't overemphasize any one area. It is neither bright not warm

Tvad, that is why I was surprised by your post saying it would be bright. You recent statement is more accurate IMHO, neutral

Ehoehn,the Bryston's were bright with my Aerials, and I may have incorrectly compared the Aerial and B&W sound to be similar in the top end, thus my comment.

Bottom line, IMO, if a Bryston amp is under consideration, it's a no-brainer to buy an SST series, try it, and re-sell if it's not what the listener wants. Almost no risk involved.

Tvad,
How would you compare the Bryston with the VAC Tube Amp.
Forget conventional wisdom and all the techno talk, just, how do they compare?
Which is better in your humble opinion, why, and so on.
