Default Bryston 14B SST2 Review from Australia

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston 14B SST2 Review - Australia


December 2015

Hi Folks,

Please see link below to a review on our Bryston 14B SST2 power amplifier from “down under.”

Favourite Quote:

CONCLUSION:

High-end, powerful amplifiers are addictive and seductive in the way that they allow you to listen to almost anything, at almost any volume and it just sounds incredible. So often during my time with the Bryston 14BSST˛ I wanted to call up an audio buddy and blurt out a “wow, you should hear this!”

It made me stop and actually listen to the music with amazement, because it just sounded so right, so dynamic and life-like. Low powered amps by comparison are boring and lifeless and they don’t captivate the attention and imagination in the same manner.

Great review. I already love my 14bsst2 and I agree with everything said here!

Having owned several of the 14BSST2's smaller and earlier siblings I can agree with what the review says with regard to all the positives that they evoke in people.

The reviewer's comment "Takes days to warm up and sounds best when left on constantly", however, makes me wonder if the reviewer was experiencing circuit drift, was simply speaking about the "burn-in" characteristics of his specific 14BSST2 or was his need to find something to put in the "CON" section.
