I just received my Bryston 28B Cubed amps and the initial sonic impression is very promising. What I am wondering is whether an extended break in will result in any noticeable improvement. When I asked Ivan, he thought they sounded great right out of the box and didn't change much over time. Perhaps Bryston handpicked a couple of specially broken-in amps because they were going to be Ivan's personal amps?
 I am leaving my amps powered on for the time being to expedite the break-in process, if there is one. My media room is definitely warmer as a result, which is not a good thing in a North Carolina summer.

Al... my 28B3's have gotten even better after a few hundred hours. Be sure to keep us posted as you rack up some more hours.

No we do not hand pick amplifiers. All our amplifiers have to meet a strict performance criteria before they are sold into the market. james

James - my comment was more tongue in cheek humor. While we all know that Ivan is the man in the audiophile world, I didn't seriously imply anything was handpicked for him. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I will definitely report back after a few hundred hours of break-in.

Hi James,
At the Montreal Audio Fest, I saw a 21B3 on display. A 3 channel amplifier in one package (a 14B3 mono + 4B3 stereo). Is it the only one you will make or will there be others (smaller or bigger). Thanks.
