Bryston amps cost thousands more than Parasound Halo amps, so I'd submit the characterization "pay a little bit more" is a little off. But that's fine, buy what you want and pay what you want. The fact of the matter is that most people want to pay a little less if they can. Nothing wrong with that either.
My current options: Anthem MCA30 or Bryston 3bSST2
Hi all,
Without going into detail, my current options for setting up my 3.1 system is going with a 3 channel amp by Anthem (i.e., MCA30) or getting 2 Bryston 3bSST2. The quick reason is that I am confined by space limitations (my shelf is only 13" deep). I spent hours spec'ing out a lot of amplifiers (not including Class D; I know there are plenty) so I narrowed it down to the Bryston 3bSST2 or an Anthem MCA30.
Let's face it, money is also a deciding factor so I'm leaning toward the Anthem. Question is, how much am I missing out on the Brystons given the price point? I feel like the Anthem should be good.
OR do I just keep my underpowered Rotel RSX1055 to drive my Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M and Liuto Smart center channel until I can splurge on the Bryston 3bSST2?
