To add to previous posts, you can be assured that there's always a high demand for used Bryston gear especially the ST series amps if you find it opposite to your liking. I am not so sure about the Marsh equipment.
I have had and still has a Bryston 3BST, a pair of 4BST's, and three 7BST's. They are not as refined sounding as Krell FPB series amps but pretty darn close even with the most revieling speakers, IMO.
I find it difficult to understand Ultrakaz's opinion that 4BST's are "veiled, less transparent and less neutral" in comparison to the Marsh. I qualify my opinion since I have not had Marsh amps in my house. However, I have found the Bryston 4BST's peformance opposite to Ultrakaz's experiences even compared plenty with a Krell FPB600c driving both Maggie 3.5Rs and B&W N802's. Maybe Marsh amp is that good and a better performer... I don't know.
