Bob, the 10B has a rather limited selection of x/o frequencies. Check the spec sheet on Brystons website for the details. The First Watt B4 has many more, and is equal in quality to the Bryston---no Opamps, no IC's. The First Watt is about to be discontinued, so if you decide to get one better call Reno HiFi asap!

Well, all the used Brystons out there have XLR jacks and I have RCAs everywhere. I did see a photo of a Bryston 10B with RCAs so I know they made them.
So First Watt is Nelson Pass? I guess it's good stuff! I will check it out.
Yeah, the Bryston is available with either RCA's or XLR's. And yup, the First Watt products are designed and built by Nelson Pass, and the B4 is available single ended with RCA's only. It offers 1st/2nd/3rd/4th order filters (6-12-18-24dB/octave) in 25Hz increments from 25 to 3200Hz. Amazing flexibility. Retail is $1500, but Reno Hi-Fi sells it for $1200, and even less at times. I've heard of it going for around a grand.
Yes, the First Watt B4 is a very good unit at a good price and very flexible. A Pass design. This is the third generation of the design and it is pretty much refined.
