I ran my 3.6's with a 4BST for several years, then I bought a used Proceed HPA, in my experience it does a much better job of driving the 3.6's.My dream is to bi-amp the 3.6s someday, running the Bryston on the bass panels and the proceed on the mid/tweeters. First I need to save the cash for the x-over.

Can't speak to the 4BST as I've never heard it before. On my system the extra power of the Bryston made a huge difference on my 1.6's. I wish I could bi-amp with Brystons. Not that the Proceed was bad. I lived with it for a long time very happily.
I have gone back to the 4bST with the 3.6's but prefer the Proceed HPA, at 500w at 4ohms it never seems to streesed by the demands of the 3.6's..I've got the amps, most of the cables, just need the active crossover to start the bi-amp setup. Hopefully if I can sell my laser disc player and LD collection on ebay, I'll have some cash for a used Bryston 10b or a Marchand x-over..
Ohhhhhh. I was using an earlier version the Amp II which was 150 watts per side. It was stressed much more than I thought judging by the difference between it and the Bryston.
