Are Bryston amps any good?
It is still a smooth sound, but well balanced. There are amps that sound tighter and more articulate down below, but precious few that sound this sonorous.

What class are Bryston amps?
How many watt amplifier do I need?
Generally you should pick an amplifier that can deliver power equal to twice the speaker’s program/continuous power rating. This means that a speaker with a “nominal impedance” of 8 ohms and a program rating of 350 watts will require an amplifier that can produce 700 watts into an 8 ohm load.
Is 60 watts loud enough for a music?
They are too loud in small room, but usually you can’t crank up the volume to maximum without distortion, and the small size does not properly “fill” the room. 60W (30W per speaker) is not really adequate though it will probably give you a reasonable background noise. Just likely not overly loud.
What is your review of the Bryston 4b-st amplifier?
Equipment Review – Bryston 4B-ST Amplifier (8/1999) price tag. Controlled and resolved bass and treble/midrange performance that’s “near spot-on”; retrieval of detail is “quite good ” and won’t “fool the listener into perceiving added detail”; soundstage depth is “mildly foreshortened” in absolute terms.
What are the dimensions of the 4b-st?
At 19″W x 14 1/2″L x 5 1/4″H, the 4B-ST is not a room-filling monster by any means. Sporting nicely beveled handles and two 45-degree chamfers running the width of the amp, the 4B-ST has nice business-like cosmetics that shouldn’t intrude on any décor.
How good is the Little Bryston?
The “little” Bryston never cried foul, delivering tight, and suprisingly good ambient retrieval well into the deepest bass. Towards the end of the review period I added the Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofer to the mix. This unit is not powered directly from the main amp, but is configured to take the high-level signal from its binding posts.
Is the Bryston an articulate bass?
All of the texture and richness of the erstwhile Richie’s bass sings. And the two basses, one bowed, the other plucked, from Colktrane’s *Ole* are articulate. Yes, articulate bass. It’s a pleasure and the Bryston delivers it.
