Bryston 3B ST or McCormack DNA 1


Which amp do you think would deliver a better, detailed large sound stage for B&W N805's. I beleive that I can buy either used for about $1000. or how about the Anthem AMP2? I think I am narrowed it down to these... I apreciate any feedback.

I've owned both and I would have to give the nod to the Bryston 3B-ST. The 805's are a highly detailed speaker that like a highly transparent signal. I agree with the other postings in that the DNA1 may gloss things over a bit, resulting in a smooth polite sound. The DNA1 may be better for a speaker that has the propensity to sound bright. I've tried the Pass Aleph 3 as well with my Nautilus 805's and they sounded gorgeous except for that last ounce of bass detail and refinement.
