I recently paired a Bryston 3BST SS (used at around $1K) with a new EAR 834L tubed pre ($1.5K)and am quite thrilled with the results.
Amp / Preamp Suggestions Wanted
I'm putting a second (budget) system together, and I am considering the following units: 1)Preamps - Krell PAM5, Bryston BP-20, Adcom GFP-750; 2)Amps - Bryston 3B-NRB/THX, Counterpoint Solid 1A, Marsh a200S. Pairing the prospective units with Adcom GCD-575/GDA-600 and Paradigm Reference Studio 40v2. I would welcome feedback on the above units, and alternative suggestions within the same price point. Thanks!
