My prejudice against Bryston is from the 4B-ST.

I wonder how much better the new designs really are. They are a solid, conservative operation much like Magnepan, so I expect similar, glacially-slow incremental product improvements.

It says a lot for the demo to me that people liked the sound even with Bryston electronics.

The new design changes the room interaction. Smaller midrange and treble drivers look more like point sources to the room, so ceiling and floor interactions become more important. If the bass cabinets require boundary reinforcement, then they will have to be placed closer to the wall behind them in many setups. This is all good and bad news for non-audiophile spouses: the big, imposing speakers out in the room were tough to accept, so the cute little ones closer to the wall will be better. However, ceiling treatments may be a problem.
