28B SST 2 vs 7B SST 2 vs 7B SST

[Kingsrule]

Are these amps sonically similar ?

I understand the power differences between the two but how do they differ sonically? The 28 SST 2 gets great reviews but I haven't seen anything on the 7B SST 2.

I have the 7B SST now. How does the 7B SST 2 differ sonically?

Hmmmm....just reread this review. Read it when it first came out also. Pretty unfair IMO. Everything he dislikes is pretty much intangible nuance. To tarnish the Bryston rep over intangible nuance seems kind of crappy to me.

And Volks, do you have an axe to grind? If you scour the internet that's about the only review that you can find that's not a rave for Bryston gear.

You might want to read the current (November) Issue of Hi Fi News. The Bryston 2B did not fare as well as I expected in a five amp shootout. All of our favorites take a hit every so often, we should not be so thin skinned.

Hifi news reads like the last page of a porn mag..... The mag is about as dis-interested in actual hifi than anything out there. Its a garbage mag. Its obvious just look at. It doesn't matter what it said about bryston the mag sucks bad.

I think you are talking out of your butt on this one. It is the only English language magazine that has the balls to say actually say they don't like a product.

The 28s and 7B squared amps do have similarities, a house sound if that's what you want to call it.....however you must take in account how the speaker load is intereacting with the amp.....use a speaker that's easy to drive and one may find the amps have more in common sound wise but use a speaker that's a more difficult load and you will find greater differences sound wise.....I haven't spent much time with your current 7BSST only the Squared line of amps......you may want to visit audiocircles, that's where most of the bryston owners hang out.....
