Bryston won the SoundStage of “Best of Son & Image 2015” awards

Bryston

Fellow-writer Hans Wetzel likes to describe products or systems that perform capably and admirably as solid. It’s a good word for stuff that’s flat-out good, and it’s the one I’d use to describe the sound of Bryston’s system at SSI 2015: their BDP-2 digital player, BDA-3 digital-to-analog converter, 7B SST2 mono amplifiers, and Model T Signature speakers. Cables were Bryston’s own.
The total price of this system runs about $XX,XXX Canadian, but to my ears it sounded better than most of the systems at SSI 2015 that cost twice that or more: full-range, tonally natural, effortless, spacious -- it pretty much had it all. As a result, I’m confident that while anyone who buys this system will be spending a lot of money (30 grand can get you a car), he or she will be getting good value -- the performance was, across the board, great. That buyer will also get an incredible warranty from one of hi-fi’s stalwart brands: 20 years for the amps, preamp, and speakers. As Hans would say: solid.
