audioNeil,

I have to disagree at least in part with your comments.

I found the Bryston 4B-SST very smooth in the top end - no harshness at all. They are, in fact, smoother than the Antique Sound Lab Hurricane's tube amps that they replaced. You didn't mention what preamp or cables you used. Interestingly enough, I did get rid of a set of Analysis Plus Oval 9 biwire speaker cables because THEY were too bright with this system. Now these are supposed to be great cables BUT they just didn't work out with the associated equipment that I had. I replaced them with a set of Signal Cable biwire set which do sound noticeably smoother on the top end.
I probably will try out some other amps in the future when time and finances allow but for now will stick with what I have.

Bob
