No I am safe at home - that was Keith from PMC telling me they are getting great sound at the Bristol Show in the UK introducing the New Bryston amplifiers with their PMC speakers.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Dealer Feedback – New Cubed Amplifiers


February 2016

Hi James,

I'm loving the way the new Cubed amplifiers looks, I think it's a nice change.

Although I still have not had time to go back to 7B squared's, will do that today.

The new 4B Cubed sounds more delicate, open, airy and transparent than how I remember the SST2's sounded.

In terms of tonal balance (very neutral), bass control and low noise I'm not sure if there are any improvements but I don't think the previous Bryston amps needed any improvements in those departments anyways.

I'm using the 4B with some uber high-end gear from CH Precision and Tenor and have it driving the Magico S7's and it certainly is feeling right at home with its accompanying components that are priced at 10x the new 4B cubed.

I'll give you some more details once I go back to the 7B squared's.

Mark.

Bryston has added the Cubed amplifier pages to their website. You can see them listed individually under Power Amps/Cubed Amps, and here's a direct link the the 7B Cubed for your reference. There are some nice pictures included.

UK Bristol Show 2016

James,

Saw the new Cubed amps at the Bristol Audio Show in the UK. Really like the new aesthetics & finish of the amps. Adds a bit of class I think. The little 'heat warning' stickers made me chuckle, though.

And they sounded fantastic.

Kyri

Hi James,

The new Cubed series has pleasantly exceeded our expectations.

It retains the world class iron fisted bass control of the Squared series and adds meaningfully improved resolution across the board. Top end has more sparkle, midrange has greater transparency and bass is more tuneful.

Bravo to Bryston for the continued proficiency.

Sincerely,
Robert
Audio Eden Ltd.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston A3 Speaker – Distributor Comments


March 2016

Hi James,

Three (3) wonderful products arrived at PMC from Bryston recently.

We’ve just run up the Bryston A3 speakers and we’re really excited. They sound great and they offer a lot of performance for the money.

The Cubed amps are amazing. So much smoother, greater depth and height information. It all sounds so much more “real” A big thank you to whoever came up with this improvement. We are measuring substantially lower THD at high frequencies (always a good sign) and the common mode rejection of the balanced inputs is almost 20dB better……incredible results!

The BDA-3 blows the BDA-2 out of the game. So much more detail, smoother and well-judged overall balance.

Thank you,
Peter Thomas
Managing Director

Hi,
Is the SST2 being discontinued and have a closeout sale yet? What's the lead time on the 7 cubed or 14 cubed? Thanks
