Boy, no love for the Hegel. Bryston, in my opinion would not compete with the Hegel. I don’t know the one you mentioned but I heard previous ones and it didn’t compete with the Hegel. The George Meyer suggestion for the Krell seems to me to not be advisable. I have read a number of comments on here to not send Meyer products of considerable complexity, which is the Krell. The overheating problem with the Krell is daunting and their head guy, who specializes in FPB’s has failed. The repair place in Illinois which handled the Hegel is willing to look at it again..it’s just a question of the time and effort for me to take it there and then pick-up. The Hegel was a 15,000 dollar amp. The Brystion was about 6700 when the Hegel was manufactured in 2021. I do believe there is some connection between price and audio quality.
