    Hi James,

    Do you have your automated reply ready for "cubed" inquiries yet?!

    Can you give me an idea of eta?

    They look absolutely stunning!

    Cheers,

    Definitely not a fan of the new panel though.

    When would production stop on the SST2's if it hasn't already?

    Hi Rod

    We have a few amps of the SST2 versions still available but you would have to order soon

    Thanks James

    A question about the new faceplates, since the look caused me to take a step back. Is there a particular internal design reason for the elevated square mid section or is it strictly cosmetic?

    Re: Bryston announcing SST3 series amps

    It was mainly cosmetic but it does help in lower costs going forward as all the front panels for a specific size are the same and we just have to inset the appropriate model plate as required.

    99.99999% sure I will do it. I have 19 years warranty and I just need to figure out what the upgrade will cost. It looks like it will be fairly expensive. I have to weigh the cost of selling vs the upgrade. I have a feeling it will be a little cheaper to upgrade than to sell and replace.

    I am so grateful to Bryston that they are even considering an upgrade. I love these amps tremendously and think the "new sound" will be even more to my liking. I had a feeling when I was buying them that it was just a matter of time before a refresh was going to happen. I bought them anyway having a gut feeling they'd be awesome on my Strads. I was right. Having a pathway to the new Cubed status is icing on the cake.

    Re: Bryston announcing SST3 series amps

    Wow, yours are newer than I thought. I've had mine since fall of 2013. Initially I'll take a wait and see approach to see how the cubed versions are being received in comparison to the 2's but I suspect I'll go through with it. The problem with these big brutes is going to be shipping. I think James eluded to perhaps a 10% price hike so hopefully the upgrades won't be any more than 25% of the MSRP of the 2's. I still really want three 7's so perhaps my 1st introduction to the cubes will be via some 7's.

    Re: Bryston announcing SST3 series amps

    Yes, my thoughts too. I hate to ship anything, especially that heavy, and I get really nervous about what could happen.

    The new looks are growing on me but having the new guts with the old faceplates will be just fine by me.

    Re: Bryston announcing SST3 series amps

    From The Absolute Sound's CES report:

    "Dramatically lower distortion, improved linearity, and increased clarity are hallmarks of Bryston’s new Cubed Series amplifiers. At 600Wpc into 8 ohms, the 7B3 (approximately $5.5k each) employs Bryston’s patented input stage with an array of twelve active devices and produces astonishingly low distortion measured at just 1/1000th of 1 percent. It also offers major reductions in noise (EMI, RFI, and common mode), and employs the company’s Quad-Complementary topology that mimics the characteristics of a Class A design, but with far lower distortion. As part of an impressive all-Bryston system, the 7B3 produced an expansive soundstage with great dynamics, as well as welcomed harmonic richness in the upper bass and lower midrange."

    Wow! Looks like I might want to upgrade. I can't wait for amps to start shipping.

    Re: Bryston announcing SST3 series amps

    James, since the upgrade refers mainly to a new input stage which deals with the line level signal, can this new circuitry also be be implemented in your preamps?

    It is something to look at but so far does not seem to provide the advantages it does on the input side of the power amps.

    MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
    SUBJECT: Best of CES 2016 – Bryston Cubed Amplifiers


    February 2016

    SS Logo.JPG


    Bryston 4B3 (Cubed) stereo amplifier

    201602_bestofces.png

    “For me, the most important electronics introduced at CES 2016 were Bryston’s new Cubed amplifiers.

    The 2.5B³, 3B³, and 4B³ stereo amps and 7B³, 14B³, and 28B³ monoblocks are all direct replacements of earlier, similarly named Squared models introduced eight years ago, the names of all of which end with the suffix SST2. (For this new line, Bryston has decided to ditch SST and simply close the superscript 3 up to the B³.

    Bryston’s SST2 models have long been held in high regard including by SoundStage! Network writers -- each model offers exceptional sound quality at a very reasonable price, and is backed by a 20-year warranty. And Bryston has a sterling reputation for fixing everything they make, no questions asked. (I’ve run across many companies that offer long warranties, but refuse to fix a problem if they can find a way to blame the buyer for it.)

    The Cubed models are purported to sound and measure even better than the Squareds, mainly because of a new, patented input stage that Bryston claims reduces the Squared models’ levels of distortion by 90%. The rejection of common-mode and EMI/RFI noise are also said to be improved. And the Cubeds’ front panels look better than the Squareds’

    To me, the sweet spot of Bryston’s Squared line was the 4BSST2 stereo amp -- its power outputs of 300Wpc into 8 ohms or 500Wpc into 4 ohms are enough for most situations, and its retail price is low enough that many serious audiophiles on a budget can afford it.

    For me, the 4BSST2 has always been a great benchmark to judge other amps against -- which is why, for a couple of years, my reference system included one. Now there’s the 4B³, with the same specified power outputs and the improvements noted above. Given that the new models are all basically the same as the old, I suspect that the 4B³ will remain the sweet spot in the new line.

    As I write this, none of the prices for the Cubed models have been set. But if Bryston’s prices for the new series remain in line with its past products, I suspect that the 4B³ will not cost much more than the previous model -- in which case it should represent at least as good a value as its predecessor.”

    Hi James

    We received our new 4B Cubed this week.

    4B Cubed.jpg

    We replaced out 4B SST-2 in our reference system.

    If I compare the new 4B-3 (Cubed) and 4B SST 2, the advantages of the new Cubed series right out of the box are:

    •  More spacious and airy
    •  The high end frequencies are more softer
    •  Better image
    •  More depth
    •  A low bass even stronger and faster

    A pure delight !

    James

    You need a new speech writer !

    Why do you always dramatically understate things in your press releases and on Audiocircle?! "Evolution not a revolution"?!?!?! That's like referring to the evolution from a fish to a bird as though it was no big deal

    Yes the new Cubed series is way better than the Squared! And that's brand new, with no warm up/break in. Incredibly refined and natural. Can't wait to hear the 14B3!

    Oh, and the BDA3 is also not merely a BDA2 with DSD. Again, huge difference here in quality. You gotta get the crowd more excited, man!

    Keep up the good work!

    Re: Bryston announcing SST3 series amps

    Bryston has added the Cubed amplifier pages to their website. You can see them listed individually under Power Amps/Cubed Amps, and here's a direct link the the 7B Cubed for your reference. There are some nice pictures included.

    UK Bristol Show 20016

    James,

    Saw the new Cubed amps at the Bristol Audio Show in the UK. Really like the new aesthetics & finish of the amps. Adds a bit of class I think. The little 'heat warning' stickers made me chuckle, though.

    And they sounded fantastic.

    Hi James,

    The new Cubed series has pleasantly exceeded our expectations.

    It retains the world class iron fisted bass control of the Squared series and adds meaningfully improved resolution across the board. Top end has more sparkle, midrange has greater transparency and bass is more tuneful.

    Bravo to Bryston for the continued proficiency.

    Sincerely,
    Robert

    Hi James,

    Three (3) wonderful products arrived at PMC from Bryston recently.

    We’ve just run up the Bryston A3 speakers and we’re really excited. They sound great and they offer a lot of performance for the money.

    The Cubed amps are amazing. So much smoother, greater depth and height information. It all sounds so much more “real” A big thank you to whoever came up with this improvement. We are measuring substantially lower THD at high frequencies (always a good sign) and the common mode rejection of the balanced inputs is almost 20dB better……incredible results!

    The BDA-3 blows the BDA-2 out of the game. So much more detail, smoother and well-judged overall balance.

    Thank you,
    Peter Thomas
    Managing Director

    Hello James.

    I have finally received the two 7B3 amps and got them connected to my preamp & speakers without any issues.

    They look GREAT, much better than the pictures on the website. They sound way better than I imagined.

    I can’t thank you enough.


    Best regards
