Bryston VS Musical Fidelity

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.

My assessment, humbly is, that the Bryson sounds, although, I dislike this characterization, slow and lacking in fine detail.
Inasmuch as tubes are finely detailed though somethat flawed in the bass region, the Bryston sounds unrefined and slower than I would characterize as being accurate musically.
It is the proverbial workhorse versus the thorobred horse.
It lacks refinement and detail, but has good bass and other good qualities.
