| System Goals/Comments: | The Bryston 7BSST2 are nothing like the older Brystons I remember. Their newer line are truly audiophile worthy, smooth, transparent, detailed, explosive when called for yet delicate and refined. I like 'em! And they sound especially nice with a warm tube linestage driving them. |
