Asclepius,That's what I'm waiting for also the SP-3.My first surround receiver was the Arcam-100(can't believe I still miss it).
Knowing Bryston I'm sure the Sp-3 will have an excellent analog section strictly for music.I use the stereo direct to bypass all the processing and I run my BCD-1 into her(analog).
I thought of the AV-9(HDMI switching)but when I heard Bryston
was coming out with a new SP-3(I can wait6-8 months).
Asclepius,I see we think a little alike.Arcam,Bryston,Torus,
and dedicated lines.
I had my electrician install me 2X240v lines,purchased a 20a Torus,balanced(for my components) and a 60a balanced for my ampsX5.A tad extreme but I don't want the amps to be starving for power from the wall.I'll definately wait for the reviews to see how much a difference say in the 4B-ssts compared to the squared versions,as I have 2X4B-ssts for my surrounds.If it's a nice jump up then I guess I'll have to jump to.
