I'm comparing amps , down to 2 options
Bryston 4b SST (used). or Parasound A21 (new). Let's say cost is equal
Could use some advice from the AK crowd
Bryston has a touch more power but either of these should drive magnepan .7s nicely
I just read a very good thread discussing amp topology & " voicing"
Voicing from what I gathered is what engineers can do to get a distinct sound raising the amplitude of certain frequencies .
OK I did not understand all of it but enough to see why amps do sound different
Well it did discuss that a well designed amp should just amplify and not color sound in any manor I agree .
Bryston was mentioned as being neutral sounding , not "voiced".
Not sure about the Parasound ? Or if it's true about the bryston
Any input is very welcome. Please keep it on a layman's level for my comprehension. Thanks
