Got to disagree with Tvad. Have used a Bryston/B&W combo for close to 3 years with a tube preamp and the results continue to be magical. Would be weary of using the earlier bryston preamp( the new version has a beefier power supply and sundry other improvements).Started with the 4BST and switched to a 14BST.There are many folks out there with a 14BSST/B&W 802 combos(something I can only dream about).
IMHO, the Bryston is leagues ahead of MF in value for money at a given price point.
