Bryston 7B ST - Sounds anaemic. Any help?


I bought a new Bryston 7B ST recently to replace a 94 model 4B THX to drive my bass and I was hugely dissapointed. I wonder if there is a possibility that it may not be pumping 500w as it supposed to do. I have Alon Circe speakers.

I just don't get the oomph factor and I feel the 4B THX kicks better.

Would appreciate suggestions

Perhaps the Circes' woofers are wired for hi-impedance (suitable for tube amps)... if so change them to the 4-ohm setting (done by dealer or mfg?)
Also the bass on these speakers is very well damped so you won't get great gobs of bass.
If you had better performance with your 4B, this is a puzzle.
I assume you have two 7Bs in mono config, not one as your post suggests.
