"Better Than Anything We've Heard at This Price"
A review of the BP-26 preamp and the 2B SST power amp in the September 2008 issue of What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision observes that the pair "blends transparency with insight and punch better than anything we've heard at this price."
NEW STANDARDS OF ACCURACY
Bryston is pleased to introduce our new Bryston 2B-SST Squared-Series 100 Watt per channel stereo amplifier. The first 2B started life way back in 1979 and has become a Classic among discriminating audiophiles worldwide. This latest version of our 2B incorporates all the new SST2 circuitry and provides twice the power of our original 2B.
From input to output, all the circuitry in the 2B SST2 amplifier has been optimized for the most accurate performance possible. The Bryston 2B SST2 amplifier is a compact, high quality 100 watt per channel, (8 ohms), stereo amplifier intended for use in home sound systems requiring a musically accurate, extremely reliable, no compromise power source.
While the 2B has for years been thought of as an exceptionally lucid and transparent amplifier for traditional two-channel stereo setups, it is now finding additional acceptance in such installations as multimedia surround-sound systems, and in the most ambitious music systems with multi-amplified speakers using electronic crossovers.
