I also got an email from these folks a few days ago advertising Bryston amps.
Although I erased the email, it said something to the effect of the B4 amp or one of those was being retired or redesigned and they had a few at a reduced price..

    Is this just for information, or was there a question in there?

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    Funny you mention them, I just got a catalog from them in the mail the other day.

    I've ordered from them before (years ago) but this is the first paper catalog I ever received, or even knew existed, from them.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    That's funny Harry. I've been getting their catalogs for years, seems like they come once a month.

    These days, almost everything we read seems to be on a screen of some type.
    It's strange, but it's kinda cool to actually hold the paper and thumb through it whenever you feel like it. Nothing to turn on except a lamp... I'm liking that. :)

    I too get a copy of AA every month or so. Love to thumb through it and think," if only" or "maybe someday" to some of the sweet audio gear there. ;)

    They seem to arrive every month or two. But there is never a date on the catalog. So knowing which is the old one, to be recycled requires diligence.

    The SST2 series has been discontinued. The replacement series is the "Cubed Series", which is not even shown on Bryston's website yet, even though the amps were introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2016 and were introduced to market the first week of February 2016. Bryston is being borderline secretive about this new amp series. :/

    I have a black 4B3 coming in a couple of weeks. It's going in my office rig and replacing the stopgap Adcom GFA-565SE.
