Parasound A21 vs Bryston 4bsst 2


I'm looking for any information regarding the Parasound A21 vs the Bryston 4bsst 2. The amp will be used to drive a pair of Aerial 7Ts. It's not about what's better, but what one represents the better value, considering the cost difference. In other words, for those who say get the Bryston, is it twice as good as the Parasound? My room is 20' x 26', I listen to contemporary Jazz, and my priorities are soundstaging, imaging(front to back placement), and as close to neutral as possible without brightness. Thanks in advanced for your opinions.

That's a poor way to frame the decision. The question you want to ask is whether the Bryston is $2,000 better, or whatever the price difference is. Diminishing returns kicked in well below the Parasound. Of course, only you can answer the what's worth the extra money to you.

Both of those products are available from Audio Advisor and perhaps other online retailers who offer 30-day return privileges. Buy them both and decide for yourself.
