Hmmm very good question Joe. Let me think .... I owned several SS amps and heard thousands and I always found something was missing regardless of price. If you are tube fan boy you will know exactly what I mean

please don't get me wrong my tube amps won't go anywhere. I love both of them for different reasons.
Luckily I have one super dealer call " Audio by Mark Jones " and he was kind enough for me to do home demo of 4B3 Cubed amp and I had a zero hope until I plug in .. ( comparing $5,600 amp vs my $23 k amp I know I know the price is not everything but usually what you pay is what you get )
I played few albums that I familiar with over the years and I was shaking my head and saying " What the heck ! This can't be right. It's a SS amp ! how come sounds so beautiful so neutral and not missing anything? "
It just blew me away with its performance with super tight bass ( my 15" driver finally found nice partner who can control her completely) and dead quiet. Also the vocal was very close to tube. ( but it's still not a tube

) and wondering what 28B3 can do and I was done. I had to get them. So far I played last 10 hours and just couldn't be happier. I had a very high end amp ($60k amp ) and I'm much more satisfied with Bryston 28B3. It's also big step up from 4B3. Much more defined details and vocal has more weigh in to it ( well I will review them more when break in is done ) thanks to James make this wonderful amp that can compete with double or triple price amps out there. It's keeper and since I have the 96db speakers I'm listening as Class A part most of time too. Way to go Bryston and thanks to Joe bring up this thread. I'm a very happy camper.
P.S : Do not judge by the name of Bryston will be bright sounds. Not a hint of bright at all
