  Classe or Bryston?
Currently using a Bryston 9B with Aerial 8/surround system; not enough juice! I can augment two Classe CA-150 used as monoblocks with a CAV-75 bridged 3-way for center and rear, or just beef up the power to the 8's with another Bryston amp such as the 4B-ST. Anyone else had a similar showdown to determine the Canadian champ?

The above posting, in regards to Stereophile's recommended componets as a measure of the amps ability to be worthy, is plan foolishness. First, Stereophile recommends only those componets it reviews. If they haven't reviewed it you won't see it. That does not mean it is not worthy or not closer to the aboslute truth. Don't get me wrong. I'm not bashing Stereophile. I have subscribed to it since 1989 and enjoy reading it. It is very entertaining and informative. It is, however, not the last word on products and should never be used in that fashion. Anyone using it in that manner is suspect. To me, and may be I'm just sensitive, but flip responses as, na, na, na, na, X amp has been recomended Y years by Z magazine and A amp has never been mentioned is total foolishness and demonstrates the inability of the individual to support their ideas and their ignorance. Please, lets be a little more intelligent when expressing our ideas. Or may be we just given up our confidence to draw our own conclusions through what we hear. As a wise man once said, "If you by a system recommended by a friend you will get a system that sounds good to a friend but may be not you." P.S. By the way, I do believe that Stereophile reviewed the Omegas and found them to be state of the art performers. But, ultimately that is for the listener to determind.
