Bryston Warranty Changes - 10 years

Bryston just announced their new 10-year non-transferable warranty on analog products for products purchased from 1/1/2026 forward.

They are celebrating their 50th anniversary of providing reliable and solid performing high fidelity gear.

The 20-year transferrable warranty was impressive, but honestly not something I considered when purchasing their gear. I always saw it as a testimony to their confidence in their products and as paying upfront for an insurance policy I would most likely never use.

Ten years is still great as most brands provide 5 years or less with 1 year on ChiFi common and 2 or 3 years from other brands. Twenty years was a differentiator and a part of the brand name equity. The transferable part was great for resale value and also another differentiator.

Times are changing and I imagine it is a mainly a cost cutting tactic considering parts inventory among other things? Your thoughts.
