Bryston 4bst vs. Proceed HPA2


Any thoughts on these 2 amps for a system consisting of a Proceed avp-s and revel perorma f-30's. They are both excellent amps. I have A/B'd them and the Bryston seems more dynamic and pleasant to listen to but the Proceed more refined and smooth. These are being used in a system for 50/50 ht/2 channel. Any thought or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks

For what it's worth, Revel used the HPA-2 amp when 'voicing' the F30 speakers. The F30's are a bit forward, as is the Bryston. The Proceed leans the other way, so while the Bryston will excel in some set-ups, paired with the F30's, neither will shine as brightly as possible.
