Bryston 3B SST

Pros: Very neutral, exceptional build quality, powerful, 20yr warranty

Cons: Speaker wire binding posts

The Bottom Line: If you want to hear the music instead of the equipment then this is the amp for you.

Review: Bryston amplifiers are built like a tank and have a 20yr transferable warranty. The 3b-ST is rated at 120w although they actually put out around 150w as is shown on the test sheet that comes from the factory. It has balanced inputs as well as RCA's...

Pros: Accurate, powerful, stereo workhorse, with a 20-yr warranty.

Cons: It isn't the 5-channel Bryston 9B ST.

The Bottom Line: If you want and can afford a separate stereo system for music, this is the last, best 120 wpc amp you will ever own.

Review: The Bryston 3B ST replaced a pair of NAD 2100 amps which powered my Snell Type Ds. My sources include a Rotel RCD 990 cd player, a Linn Axis turntable, a Rotel tuner and Rotel preamp. Interconnects and speaker wire are all mid-grade Kimber Kable.
