Reviews:
- “The Bryston amplifier is a bit of a dynamic weapon, along similar lines as other very expensive amplifiers that have graced the listening room.” – Edgar Kramer, Audio Esoterica
- “If you are looking for amplifier honesty and the ability to drive any speaker in the largest of rooms, or just like the power reserve on hand in your modest listening area, this is one to consider.” – John Gatski, Everything Audio Network
