Bryston makes rock solid components and are great pre and Amps. Classe is a tad more refined IMO , and offers full balanced circutry, which for me is a plus. Usually Classe 's reliability problems occur within the 1st 100 models produced, so If you go Classe , Get a model number over 100 or Call Classe, They are very forthwright in telling you at what production point a new product "got the bugs out".
