Hello Jerry, I just got back from visiting 10Audio.com and didn't see a review for the 2.5B-3. Will you be posting one?
I owned a pair of Bryston 7BSST2 monoblocks. They were smooth and sounded much better than the 'harsh' Brystons I recall from the 1990's. However, I struggled to make the newer 7BSST2 sound the way I wanted. I came close. I tried a couple different tube preamps ahead of the 7BSST2 but nothing I did would completely cure the somewhat cold and clinical sounding Brystons. Maybe the 2.5B-3 is different.
As you know I'm a big fan of Rogue's all vacuum tube amps, their "hybrid Class D" models not so much. I saw your review of the Rogue Stereo 100 comparing it to the Pass XA30.8. Very interesting! I had the Rogue Stereo 90 Super Magnum which was a nice sounding tube amp when coupled to the right speakers. It was wonderful on my Thiel CS2.4 but as I recall, the Magnepans were too difficult which killed the dynamics making the amp sound compressed and under powered.
Nice seeing you on the Asylum again!
