Nothing of human manufacture is absolutely perfect. However, the deviations in the frequency response of the Bryston 7B SST2 appear to be inaudible in normal high fidelity use, including the frequency response into the simulated speaker load. It seems to be well within the ABX Matching Requirements:

"The Bryston's output impedance was low for a balanced design, at 0.11 ohm at low and middle frequencies, rising slightly to 0.17 ohm at 20kHz. As a result, the modification of the amplifier's frequency response due to the Ohm's Law interaction between its source impedance and that of the speaker will be small. With our simulated loudspeaker, the variations in response remained within ±0.1dB limits (fig.1, gray trace). The amplifier's response into 8 ohms didn't reach –3dB until almost 200kHz (fig.1, blue), which correlates with the well-defined 10kHz squarewave response (fig.2). The 7B SST2's output does start to fall slightly above 10kHz into lower impedances; into 2 ohms (fig.1, red), the output at 20kHz is down 0.4dB, though this will have no subjective consequences."
