Hi All,

I guess by now everyone knows how much we love Bryston at HiFi Lounge so when news broke last week that Bryston where to announce a new range of amplifiers at CES this week, well we got very excited :-)

It has been around 8 years since Bryston unleashed the critically acclaimed SST2 range of amplifiers and they really are not a company that releases new products for the sake of it, they have to find a clear step up in performance to warrant a new model number and with the new Cubed range they have apparently found this.

Whereas the SST2 was a refinement on the SST amps, apparently Bryston have made some very important advancements, enough to get them patented, that the new amps won’t be known as SST3 but just the Cubed range, so the 4B SST2 will now be known as the 4B3.

I have to say that the new aesthetics took some getting used to but now they have really grown on me. Apparently once announced at CES these new amplifiers should be available reasonable quickly so please feel free to get in touch for anymore information, oh yes and don’t forget all bryston amplifiers come with a full 20 year warranty :-)

I will also be selling of my demo 7B SST2′s x 2 and 4B SST2 if anyone is interested please get in touch.

Below is more information regarding the amplifiers -

Bryston Cubed Series Amplifiers

Bryston amplifiers enjoy universal acclaim from both audio professionals and music enthusiasts unlike any other brand in the world. As a result of relentless passion for superb performance and unparalleled build quality, Bryston engineers have continued to innovate since our groundbreaking premier in 1976. The Cubed Series amplifiers continue this tradition of excellence, highlighted by lower distortion, increased bandwidth and reduced noise, presenting listeners with a crystal clear window into their most favorite recordings.

Bryston Cubed Series Amplifiers, featuring patented circuitry developed in conjunction with Dr. Alexandru Salomie, move the listener ever so close to the music with such visceral realism, the experience is most comparable to live performance.

This is the Bryston Cubed Series.

What defines high performance?

Reproducing exactly what is captured in a recording without exception and without added distortion. Each Bryston Cubed amplifier is designed without compromise in pursuit of this lofty goal.

What’s New?

Bryston engineers, led by Christopher Russell, have been busy over the years since the advent of the SST2 Series finding new methods to reduce noise and distortion to reveal more nuance and subtlety than ever before. Cubed Series amplifiers employ significant improvements including:

• Dramatically less distortion at input stage

• Improved common mode noise rejection

• Major reduction in EMI/RFI noise rejection

• Less than 500mW standby power consumption

• Update dress panel aesthetic with clean lines and new finish.

Extreme Clarity and Detail

At Bryston, finding ways to eliminate distortion from our designs is a way of life. All Cubed Series amplifiers feature a new patented input circuit that is precisely optimized and linear beyond any we’ve used before. Featuring twelve active devices in a groundbreaking array, this new circuit both matches the amplifier to virtually any preamplifier and provides the first 6dB of gain. The new input stage is so transparent, its measurable distortion is less than 1/1000th of 1 percent!

Newly designed circuitry in the Cubed Series amplifiers is virtually impervious to noise such as RFI and others induced by external and environmental causes.

The Quad-Complementary topology improves linearity to a new standard of accuracy while virtually eliminating aggressive higher harmonic distortion byproducts. The overall harmonic distribution of

Bryston’s Quad-Complementary output mimics the characteristics of a class-A design but with dramatically lower distortion. Each amplifier channel includes its own fully independent power supply with separate transformer.

At Bryston, we strive for accuracy and transparency because that is what sounds best. When a playback system is faithful to the recording, the listener can enjoy the most subtle details, capturing the depth and soul of the performance as the artist intended.

Legendary Quality

Cubed Series amplifiers employ design innovation to achieve superior performance, yet so much has remained constant through years of evolution. Each amplifier is manufactured in our state-of-the-art facility located in Peterborough, Ontario Canada utilizing many locally sourced components. Many members of the Bryston team have been with the company for decades and take great pride in their highly specialized craft.

All Bryston products are proven on our test bench for one hundred hours of burn in before shipping. Amplifiers cycle between full power and idle in thirty minute intervals to uncover any anomalies that could be illuminated by thermal stress. Our reputation for reliability is without peer.

Not only do our amplifiers undergo pass/fail testing, but each must achieve excellence in performance benchmarks as well. With each Cubed Series model, the customer will receive a comprehensive performance certificate detailing the exact specifications of the amplifier.

To demonstrate our commitment to excellence and performance, every Bryston amplifier is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a full twenty years.
