    Looks good, but way overkill for my 5.1 HT. Will the SP3 still be supported/upgraded?

    Hi

    The SP3 will stay in the line but it really can not be upgraded beyond the 7.1 capability.

    The SP3 reached the end of the road. If the SP3 does all you need, it is a great sounding preamp. But if you are looking for the latest codecs, channels beyond 7.1, room correction capabilities, etc, that’s where the SP4 comes in.

    Very Nice! From the video, I gather that one of the optional modules could be analog XLR inputs?

    SUBJECT: Bryston SP-4 Processor – Customer Feedback

    HI Folks,

    Starting to get some feedback on the new Bryston SP-4 Processor

    SP-4 Front Panel.JPG

    Hi James,

    Hope you had a great 4th of July!

    Thought I would share with you my thoughts on the new Bryston SP4 Processor.

    My early impression of the Bryston SP4 is that it’s awesome!

    I love the design as it looks extremely sleek, very minimalistic in a great way, and looks killer in my rack. The endless ability to basically route your outputs anywhere is extremely impressive and easy to do. I’m getting the hang of the software and it’s quite fun to play with. I wish I was a bit more tech savvy because I want to use it to its full potential.

    Like I mentioned above I am beyond happy with the purchase. I love the unit and I know it’s going to be at the head of my system for a long time to come. I am eventually going to hook it up to my control4 system.

    This Bryston SP-4 Processor blows my McIntosh out of the water.

    In closing I want to say thank you for making such an amazing unit. I am really happy with my purchase and I hope this email was even just a little helpful.

    Hi James,

    Our Malaysian Audio/Video Show is just a week away so we are auditioning the new Bryston SP-4 Surround Processor which we intend to use at the show.

    Have not use the Dirac Live room correction yet but after the initial setup the Bryston SP-4 Surround Processor has tremendous potential.

    SP4 Front Pic.JPG

    Out of the gate, the picture quality is great, even better than the Acurus Act 4 (replaced the SP3) we were using till now.

    The sound, it is definitively more immersive and weightier too. Can't wait to hear it after we have the opportunity to do the Dirac Live calibration on the Subs, Centre and Surrounds.

    Will keep you posted.

    Regards,
    James Tan

    With a stellar combination from Bryston via its SP 4 Processor along with the full complement of Bryston speakers paired up seamlessly to twin 12 inch SYZYGY subwoofers for the ultimate in movie magic.

    Proprietor James Tan was on hand with a selection of handpicked movies to exhibit the various strengths possessed by his system from management of dark scene with sudden shifts in contrast to highly detailed sound during a particularly busy scene.

    No matter the challenge, the movie was delivered with absolute excellence!

    Hi Folks,

    This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=rvAcJASRSlg) is part of a pre-CEDIA promo campaign we are doing with CE Pro to enhance visibility for the SP4 and the Bryston brand to integrators who serve luxury consumers. I think Gary did a great job.

    This will be promoted on CE Pro’s website and via their email lists.

    It does look badass, but it’s much more HT and less audiophile pre. I still love my SP3. It’s fantastic for 7.2, and it works fantastic as a pre in bypass mode with an external DAC. I can’t see myself giving up my SP3 anytime soon.

    Also not sure where the heck I’d put all the amps needed for all those extra channels.
