Ellyjr We have owned both the 7Bsst and 14Bsst as well as other Bryston products , In my humble opinion the 14B gets the nod , its slightly smoother and more grain free . Both were great performers you wont be disappointed with either . But I do have to agree with stereophile on this one . For another perspective you might try to find the reveiws from the now defunked Inner Ear Report they tested both and also preferred the 14B , there editor Ernie Fisher said the 14B was his favorite solid state amp , Ernie was Canada 's version of J Gordon Holt . Good quality speaker cables degrade the music much less over distance than cheaper , thiner ones, keep all distances as short as possible is my 2 cents worth. Max
