I have the 5 BST that runs my center and to rear speakers for my home theater and a 4b set for my front left and right B&W Matrix tower speakers and I'll tell you that That 5B has been running for years and Works like new still and I leave it on 24/7 So it is warmed up and ready to go when I play music or a movie. You can't go wrong with bryston and they have a 20 year warranty So you pay the freight to Canada and they go through it and fix whatever or update whatever needs then you pay They pay the freight back. Such a great company.

The Bryson is a wonderful amp. Thanks for the link to my review of the Bryson. Much appreciated 👍😀

Been a Bryston guy for 30 years. Very hard to beat.. That sound you hear when you turn it off is harmless.All Bryston amps do that.I was told it is capacitor discharge.

Thanks for video and you efforts! Awaiting much more videos from you!

A Real Beast,Thank you for sharing ! 👍👍

Very highly regarded in USA & Canada. Loved by audiophiles and used in recording studios for playback of recordings. A 20 year warranty by Bryston, nobody in the business offers this, even if you are not original owner. This is a high quality product. On Par with McIntosch & Accuphase. Forget Crown amps, they had problems back in the day and were know to smoke and short out!

The new ones are just as good, love bryston and their 20 year warranty, great video, can't wait to get a new bryston 2.5 cubed pro with a set of Klipsch corner wall 4'S!

The 4B ST is one of the finest amps ever made, at any price.

canadian made like a tank best warranty in the bussiness along with customer service

The company put some afford in building it, it is built like a tank!

Stay well Andrew you good man . ✔👍

Been running a pair of 3B NRB amps in monoblock mode since the '90s. Just had them refurbed and upgraded at the factory through their new Back To The Future program. I can't imagine buying from any other manufacturer.

It like it. I've always experienced a larger broader sound, with a lot more power reserves, with big power trafos.. Always.

Great tunes 👌 good sound

Great Video. I'm considering getting a 5BST to pair with some Martin Logan 60XT and 50XT. I wonder if they will pair well. I have anthem pre-amp

In this video the Bryston 4B-ST is playing over the Heco the statement Because of this Bryston I Know why my hobby is the best in the world. After 7 years I still discover new things I never expected to discover. So happy to share it with you. When I scored the Bryston I brought it immediately to Ivar (youtube/the audiophile barista) and give him the privilege to test it out first. I had so many other things to test and review that I could easy miss it for a while. After a month testing he made a video from it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_RFF... Watch how he reviewed it and subscribe on his channel to. It's funny to see 2 completely different video's about the same amplifier. Soon, Ivar will review the Willsenton R8 tube amplifier Many say that the onkyo p-304 pre-amplifier used in this test isn't a very good one....so how will this Bryston sound with a very good amplifier....It's hard to believe that it can even produce a better sound, my future tests with other pre-amplifiers will give me more insight. I will make more video's with this Bryston and test other pre amplifiers on it. If you never heard a Bryston but you love monster power amplifiers than this Bryston have everything you want. Bryston amplifiers are not very expensive but they come with 20 years guaranty on labor and parts. There is another, cheaper, power amplifier on the market, some people refer as very good, much cheaper, very energy efficient and a already famous inbuilt patented DriveCore technology. Most of you will say that the Crown XLS 2502 isn't suitable for audiophiles but the ones who believe that also never heard the thing. Hearing is believing....Without ever heard the thing I believe it can come very close to this Bryston... but for a much lower price. I am hunting for that Crown as we speak because I want to discover it myself. I don't regret scoring and discover the Bryston sound. Second hand this Bryston 4b-st cost about $1000 and that is not much considering what you get.....A used crown XLS 2502 cost only 500........Any suggestion about that Crown? Should I believe those reviewers who claim the thing is very good ore?....your 2cents please

You just connect your speakers in the left and right speaker a connections. Just leave the speaker b connections empty. After that you see in front of the amplifier, left of the display speaker a and speaker b switch. Push-in the speaker a switch and everything should work.

i am also struggling with the pre amps. have a few options I will try out

My uncle worked at Bryston was 30 years.

One question, is there a trigger input?

Bryston! Wow. Always wanted one of those! 20 year warranty is stellar! I ended opting for a Classe CA-150 and it's CAP-150 integrated rigged together Bi-amping KEF 105/3 back then. Possibly my finest setup? I felt the Classe was more musical for the buck comparatively. Classe also me won over compared to Krells integrated at the time. Looking back, that CA-150 alone just didn't have the impact or speed of its bigger brothers, the CA-300 and highly acclaimed CA-400! Both priced out of my reach then. I ended up trading for a BAT VK-500 for a few years after Classe. VK-500 is a monster of an amp! For such power and speed it had much detail retrieval. Then I downsized and went Vintage! Haven't looked back either! Although, the new Yamaha A-S3000! That's now the A-S3200!

You can damage your speakers if you turn on the poweramp and the preamp is turned high volume always make sure the preamp is turn to minimum before starting And the preamp is turned on first before the Poweramp to eliminate DC offset best preamp what is a integrated amp would be audiolab 8000 a especially the phono stage still one of the best built-in can pick them up for €150

90W out of the wall is not much for an amp like that. I have one that pulls 270W.

Those large capacitors are only 5600 micro farads as far as I can see. An amp this size would need a bit more than 4 of those or 22400 micro farads per channel. I would want to see at least 4 x 10000 micro farad caps per channel.

The wiring is a MESS!!! Look inside a McIntosh is you want build quality.

Those old vintage receivers have so many more wires...
