Bryston or Classe audio ? what do you think of both?


hi!
i am currently planning all my system slowly..
and i've heard bryston and classe only few limited times on poor speakers in audio shops near my place.. ( montreal )
so i couldn't really tell about them
but i've heard only good things!

so i wish to know..what is the difference in sound between both companies?

i know that bryston carries a 20 years warranty wich is a big + whenpurchasing stuff that are that pricey :P

the system that i am building slowly will be used at 90% of the time in stereo to listen to music ( mostly acid jazz classic..some elect )
and the rest of the time for HT using DVD or video games consoles..
so the musicality is really important to me :)

thanks :)
( please keep in mind that i am rather new to all this stuff but i am really a music/great sound lover!! )

As a former Bryston 7B ST owner, and current Classe owner, I'll throw my vote in for Classe. I don't think this is an apples to apples comparison. The Bryston line is less expensive, yet capable of very respectable sound quality. Its when you compare the two that you realize that Classe is more refined across the board, more in control, and provides more texture and dimension to objects within the soundstage. This is especially true if comparing some of Classe's higher end models.
