for the 2B-SST
- Very well built (2 toroidal transformers, 60,000 microF caps)
- Very convenient: RCA and XLR input, selectable gain (23 or 29 db), not too bulky.
- 20 years warranty, and Bryston's service is excellent
- Sound is disappointing: a little bit thin, flat soundstage, mid-highs slightly aggressive. Better than Parasound A23, but inferior to Musical Fidelity A3.2cr or Conrad-Johnson MF2250A.
Product Weakness: Huge price increase (Canadian/US dollar), sound at this price level. Product Strengths: Built quality, Features, 20 years warranty
