Bryston 4B³ 2-channel Audio Power Amplifier, 17" black, green led - ON STOCK
A rarified few components in audiophile lore have become so ubiquitous that nearly every music lover once had, lusted after, or if they're really lucky, currently owns one. One such legend is the Bryston 4B. This product has been manufactured continuously (though often refined) since 1978. Currently this venerated amplifier is on its 6th generation, and it's never been better. Now rated at 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms, (and upwards of 500 into 4 ohms), this true dual-mono amplifier is powerful enough for practically any speaker, yet it's priced to remain within reach. The degree of clarity, power, nuance, and outright truthfulness of this amp is stunning. If you've always wanted one, maybe now is just the right time.

A well-designed solid-state amplifier should fulfil the purest principles of music reproduction, accepting the input signal, then transparently and harmlessly delivering it to the transducers regardless of their inherent electrical demands, providing effortless and tight control of the drivers while manifesting boundless dynamic expression, detailed resolution and accurate tonality. In the 4B³, Bryston has covered all these bases covered... for at least 20 years. (

I heard sound that was at once brawny and precise, yet very subtle and refined when the music required it. I’ve said similar things about various amplifiers in the past, but the Bryston was truly remarkable in how it sacrificed little, if any, power output while retaining an extremely sophisticated and nuanced sound that I hadn’t thought possible...  (

The latest 4B3 is a masterful and superbly executed amplifier, if you are looking for control, extension, evenness and a whole lot of listening fun it should be very high on your must hear bucket list. I will be very sorry to see it go.  (

Bryston's design team appears to have met its stated goal of delivering an overall neutral and natural presentation by ensuring an essentially neutral power response. I liked the sound of the amps so much I requested a review sample of the new 4B Cubed stereo model.  (

I actually think that the Bryston 4B³ overall is one of the best amplifiers currently on the market.  (

If you ask about my individual and very subjective opinion, then the Bryston 4B3 seems to be the summit not only of my audiophile, but also my reviewers dreams.  (

In the STEREO listening room, the Brystons unleashed a kind of unbelievable elemental force, whose pronounced rhythm, texture, and subtlety amaze on closer inspection.  (

So nicely powerful, and its timbre so rich and sonorous that it can be difficult to switch to another amp after listening to a few tracks... Bryston’s latest Cubed series really has taken the sound to a whole new level.  (

The Bryston 4B3 is a top-shelf amplifier that can be considered a benchmark for performance and value -- and a natural addition to our list of Recommended Reference Components.  (SoundStage! Hi-Fi)

Yes, it’s endowed with muscle; it is quick, dynamic, transparent, and has an iron grip of the frequency extremes but what makes the 4B³ most special is its finesse – able to conjure subtleties that engender realism.  (

All that said, is the Bryston 4B3 amplifier the best 4B amplifier of all times? Yes, it is that without a doubt according to my opinion! Above and beyond that it is one of the best power amplifiers that one can purchase for love or money.  (

The sonic advances achieved with the new input stage have resulted in a singularity of sorts. This damn thing has perhaps the sweetest, purest top end I have ever encountered in a solid state amp at anywhere near the price (and way beyond), and a tonal finesse that rivals a fine modern tube amp, especially from the mid-bass and into the lower treble. Coupled with the amp's iron-fisted bass range and superbly low noise floor — a combination which allows micro and macro dynamic nuances to shine unimpeded — and you have one helluva performer.  (Maurice Jeffries, Positive Feedback)

The 4B Cubed is one of the few amplifiers of which I know where careful listening and a good system set-up can transport one from the doldrums of merely good to the rank of excellence.  (

These dig right to the heart of the music and result in one of the best all-round power amplifiers I have encountered at the price.  (
