I have a Bryston 4B-ST running Martin Logan Quests. The sound is wonderful but I was wondering if it would be a good idea to bi-amp with another 4B-ST or buy a newer 4B-SST model? What do you think?

I think I should word better my question!

What I want to know is that should I go with 2 4B-ST's or just one 4B-SST (newer model)? The reason I ask is that I am wanting those that have experimented with the brand and let me know if I would get a significant change in sound with the newer model. The ST series in itself is already amazing but I know that my Logan's would most likely benefit from 2 amps as they are harder to drive than regular speakers.

Hi again Danman.
Is your amp straining to drive the ML's?
Do you have to limit the power to protect the amp or speakers?
How hot does the amp run now?

No the amp has mega power!

Bryston 4b's do run quite warm even at idle so that is not an issue. There are no issues at all with the amp itself I was just wondering what would be the benefits of doing one or the other.

I think the power of One 4b of any sorts is plenty of juice for your speakers. Going from a ST to a SST model however would be a significant upgrade in sound from what I hear. The VP of Bryston claims that the new processor in the latest SST products makes a big difference. I recently heard some new Bryston gear and I would agree.

Danman...talk about pulling the trigger..wow!

What are you going to do with your exising 4B-ST, second system or up for sale? It's going to be awesome to do a comparision between the two.

Would you please let us know how it compares with the ST? Thanks.

It is for sale as we speak on CAM and Quebec Audio as well as Audio Circle. Hoping to sell it fast as it has a brand new silver 19" faceplate that replaced a 17" black one. The amp is like brand new as I always take really good care of my stuff. I will let you know of the difference for sure when I get it.

Congrats Danman. From one trigger-puller to the next, good call. I'd love to hear the new line of SSTs. Let us all know when you get it.

Danman, I heard that there would be no price increase on the 4B SST2 over the previous version SST. Is this true?

Not supposed to be from what they printed on their site.

Any ETA yet, Danman??

It's a recession, there's lots of people second guessing their purchases right now. You'll sell the old one Danman, just give her some time. Heck, who knows, I may come after it.

It happens all the time. I had someone win my Brystons on ebay (yeah, I know - ebay sucks but I get more $ for stuff on ebay than CAM or Agon). Anyway, the winning bidder just went "poof" and disappeared after winning them. I guess the price tag scared him.

So Dave, you haven't sold your Bryston 120's?

Yup. I just shipped them today. I did a "second chance offer" to the next highest bidder and got exactly what I paid for them. I enjoyed them for free.
