I’m not so sure the new Bryston owners are as committed to value as the prior ones were. The new Bi-200 integrated amp, at US$8500, is both pricey and ugly. I’m sure it performs well, but I’d rather take my $8500 to buy a Luxman L-507Z.

Also that integrated does not work very well. The volume knob also controls the input or something and it will just switch one or the other when you are turning it. I checked it out in person and even the sales guy said it was a mess.I’m not so sure the new Bryston owners are as committed to value as the prior ones were.

The 4B Cubed is still a champion power amp, but the price keeps floating upward, too.

It appears that both of the Class A integrateds from Luxman are now discontinued.
So what are they all now? A/B? D?It appears that both of the Class A integrateds from Luxman are now discontinued.
Yup, at least for integrated amps. I think their tube stuff is class A
What’s your budget for this? Quadraspire is a nice brand with a bit of engineering, sustainability and good looks. Plus, they’re Brit’s, so you don’t have to think of Trump's bs.
I mean I would prefer to not spend too much but let's be honest, if I like it I'll buy it. Fire away...
Class AB for Luxman and Bryston is now making Class D amplifiers!

Awesome thanks I'll check these out!
Just crack open a bottle of Bookers, put on an lp, and peruse HRS’ website (actual, factual, no shit isolation gear, albeit a brutalist aesthetic language). NIGHTMather never needs to know what you look at, just delete your search history.
I looked at two pictures. Literally said "Nope." out loud and closed the page.
I really liked the look of the ButcherBlock Acoustics racks, but I liked the thicker shelves and finishes on Timber Nation. I ended up calling a friend that has a side business woodworking. He’s building me a custom rack to my specs so I can get the best of both brands. Highly suggest route if you know of anyone local that can do decent woodwork.
I’m just going to tell you that their top of the line racks can easily cost as much as a respectable used vehicle.
You swine. I didn't want to know.
He did tell me to just buy any spikes/feet I wanted to have them delivered to his house. He said he figured that I would know way more about them than he would.
