Amplifier:	BRYSTON B60 . (integrated) 60W.p.c into 8ohm , 100W.p.c into 4ohm solid state . twin toroidal powered . 4 line level inputs & 1 tape loop . sweet solid aluminum remote control . Bryston is one of my favorite audio companies a couple of features that make the product unique are each unit includes a certificate for that unit ie my B60 was 73W.p.c 8 ohm at clipping . 105dB S/N and silly low distortion figures plus BRYSTON has a 20 year warranty . built in CANADA . CELESTE REFERENCE W4070SE By SIMAUDIO . 85W.p.c into 8ohm , 160W.p.c into 4ohm I think the rated power is quite conservative solid state . balanced and unbalanced inputs . This is one sweet amplifier! a couple of nights ago I ran my system loud not into clipping but loud from 9pm until 2:30 am what amazes me is how cool this amp this amp runs even after a 5.5 hour romp ! and superb sound quailty to boot . built in CANADA. .....or maybe my Myryad Ma240's (2) in mono for 400RMS a side. built in England .
