sterlo Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Hello, Looking for a 2 channel solid state power amp - something along the lines of a Krell / Bryston / Anthem. My budget is around $3 K. Thinking along the lines of : Bryston 4B-SST2 ; Anthem P2 ; etc. If you have one of these you're willing to part with, drop me a line ! Thanks
sterlo Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Sorry.. not sure what you mean by that! Could you elaborate? Thanks for responding.
drteflon Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Sterlo there is a 3 channel Bryston FS in SA... I saw it and had the cash ready to buy it but it ultimately would not fit in my TV cabinet! http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=123425&hl=+bryston#entry1864520 You might need to sign up if you're not a member already.
sterlo Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Hi all, Thanks for the responses! The Bryston does.. sit probably more within my interests.. I currently have an amp that's a bit smooth.. I'm looking for a more punchy, leaner, and less 'laid back' sound. drteflon - thanks - looking at that other amp, it looks like the "ST" series Bryston.. hm.. could be an option - I've heard that these can be a 'hard' in the treble(?) but, interestingly, the advert at dtvforum mentions it's the first of the "SST" series..? (Bit confusing. Is it an "ST" or an "SST.. - quite a difference in terms of sound quality between the two! I believe the mids and trebles were vastly improved for the SST..) I'll see what he's got to say - thanks..
sterlo Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Doh.. Bryston at dtvforum sold last weekend. Still in the hunt for a krell/bryston/anthem.. =) Ta guys!
sterlo Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 An fpb-600.. I think they call that ..'a dream'. My goodness what I'd give for an amp like that!!! A wee bit outside my budget sadly... Anyone interested in a Proceed (Mark Levinson) BPA-3 (3 channel) as trade for Bryston/Krell or similar.? =) The Proceed is my current amp.. Cheers
drteflon Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Doh.. Bryston at dtvforum sold last weekend. Still in the hunt for a krell/bryston/anthem.. =) Ta guys! Bugger... but at least I can't be tempted by that anymore! GL on your search!

twwen2 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 ssssssshhhhhhh! I'm watching that! :lol: Yeah nice one, no chance something like that will go unnoticed.
sterlo Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 Hi all, I can assure you I didn't piggyback off the above posts in saying what I'm about to say =) but, I made contact with the eBay seller of the 4B-SST yesterday when he commenced his auction, and struck a deal with him on the spot at a 'Buy It Now' price. So, I'm now the owner of a Bryston 4B-SST. I'm sorry to those above who were watching the amp on ebay.. A thousand apologies...! Thanks to all those who responded to my WTB here as well - I really appreciate your kind offers. Will let people know how the amp sounds! Andrew 1
twwen2 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Nice work, you saved me at least $1400! I'd love to hear how it sounds. 1
bensl Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 nice work. i didnt really need it anyhow. (i would be interested to know what you paid) cheers
Yogus Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 (i would be interested to know what you paid) More than he would have liked and less than what I wanted for it
Yogus Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Very cryptic.... I was the seller, sterlo was the buyer... hence he paid more than he wanted, but less than what i wanted :lol:
Hifiplus Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Symfonia Opus posted in for sale, would probably trump Bryston. 1
sterlo Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 A ha! An amp p*ssing contest! Let's get it on haha!! Nah in all seriousness, there are many amps out there that I'm sure are many times better! It's a rich world as far as what you can spend on high end end amps these days. Compared to the high end krells/levinsons, this little baby bryston is a drop in a big ocean I'm sure your Symfonia is great. I've never heard one myself but I have heard great things - it's a well known/regarded model. Good luck with your sale!
