I have the 4B-ST, and am currently deciding on whether to get a 4B-SST or 6B-SST, its in a home theatre and I could really use 3 channels. I have a thread languishing without any replies currently, no worries.

I have heard the 4B-SST, I can verify that the SST series is an improvement over the ST. The ST is just the tiniest amount more aggressive with the upper octaves. Both have fantastic bass control, gobs of power, and a surprising amount of detail, especially considering the price. The SST has just a little more resolution and liquidity in the Midrange.

Bottom line they sound very similar with the SST being the better of the two, IMO. I cant say how pleased I am with Brystons customer service. The warranty and resale are a no-brainer. Ultimately, Bryston amps arent the "most" but they offer outstanding performance for the dollar. Besides, that last bit of finesse and resolution is very askew by the "Law of diminishing returns."

If you are anywhere near the Upstate SC, you are welcome to come and hear mine anytime I am available.
