About the 8B-ST

The Bryston 8B-ST is a highly regarded 4-channel power amplifier released in 1996, designed for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts. It delivers 120 watts RMS per channel at 8 ohms in 4-channel mode and can be bridged to provide 400 watts RMS per channel in 2-channel mode. It also supports a 3-channel mode combining bridged and standard channels. The amplifier is known for its clean, dynamic, and distortion-free sound with excellent imaging, sound staging, powerful and extended bass, smooth midrange, and clear highs. It features RCA and balanced inputs and a rear switch to select between 4-channel, 3-channel, or 2-channel bridged operation. The 8B-ST is praised for its versatility, reliability, and sonic performance, making it suitable for stereo systems, bi-amplified speakers, or home theater setups. It has a damping factor over 500 and input sensitivities of 1.0 V unbalanced and 2.0 V balanced. The amplifier weighs approximately 8 kg and is considered a 'Swiss-Army knife' amplifier for audiophiles.
