Bryston 3B SST2 Pro Stereo Amplifier

Effortless Power...
The 3B SST2 stereo amplifier, at 150 Watts per channel at 8 ohms, provides all the sonic virtues and the same high value as our more powerful 4B SST2 but in a package which is both compact and less costly. Historically, the 3B has found favor in a wide range of audio/video systems which call for medium to high amounts of power but wish to avoid sacrificing sonic accuracy and long-term reliability.


Modular design and separate power supplies for each channel ensure cross-talk is essentially nonexistent, and provide precise and focused soundstaging. Components mount directly into glass-epoxy circuit boards, eliminating variations in signal travel and wire interaction. Reviewers agree: sound quality is improved to a stunning degree, realizing a higher, and far more consistent standard of musical accuracy across a line of amplifiers than ever before possible.
