I have a Bryston 9B-ST. Couldn't decide between Rotel, B&K, and Parasound and no local dealers, so when I saw a used Bryston for sale, I went for it. Can't beat that 20 year transferrable warranty. I have made the amp clip at really loud volumes with my 4 ohm speakers. Someday I may buy a more powerful 2 channel amp for the mains.
I currently have a Parasound HCA-1500A in my system that a friend bought used. In comparing the 205W Parasound to the 125W Bryston, the Parasound has a tad more punch when I don't use my sub. The Bryston is much clearer and makes the Parasound sound muffled or muddy by comparison.
