Any Love For Bryston Here?


I've been reading this forum for years but have just recently started chiming in. I never see very many posts/threads about their products. I own and have owned a few of their pieces and I honestly think that pound for pound, or $ for $ their equipment is pretty close to top notch, not to mention their "best in the business" warranty. Also their aesthetics are complement worthy. Thoughts?

You are correct @nekoaudio their products and service are top notch. I did find my way onto one of their forums one time and there were nothing but positive reviews and accolades. They always respond quickly to phone calls and emails also. The only problem I have is living in Central FL which is not exactly an audiophile hotbed, there's not of auditioning available for many products. One of my most recent acquirements is a 4Bsst2 which I absolutely love.
I have came across other Bryston forums @erik_squires and have read quite a bit. My OP was really regarding Audiogon. Btw Erik, your posts have always been some of my favorite reads along with Elizabeth and Millercarbon, although no real common denominators lol
@brayeagle if you’re passing down inheritance like that, I’m about to be up for adoption real soon lol
@mcreyn just send $99 cash to cover shipping and handling and mine are on the way!
@cheeg Don’t sell yourself short with the McC’s. I own and have owned many of each back then and now and in a blind taste test between comparable power units, it’s very hard to choose. Steve McC still does repairs, mods and upgrades too. I’ve been a Bryston, Classe and Magnum D fan for years but I guess McCormack and Bryston are always my “reference” units. 
@bjg I have a Piaget Dancer (about $15k) beautiful watch, and a Movado SE (about $1k) very nice also, both quartz movement. Doesn’t matter which one I wear, I’m always 5 minutes late for work. I thought the Piaget would get me there sooner..... 
I set them next to each other and watched them for hours, A/B comparison, nothing. I love Bryston and could sometimes tell the difference between it and a couple other amps I had. Where I could tell a big difference was listening to live and/or acoustic music, especially when listening to loud music with very quiet passages like Counting Crows’ “Round Here” or “Anna Begins” or electronic music like Dido or Sarah Fimm.
