The way the second hand hifi market is, you can have some real fun

About the sterile sound, if I may call it like that...I have the the

Nope, no switches.
I'm now really confused. I think the 4B might be too powerful for the

is not the Bryston amp clipping.

The SST does and with my SB3, I have to set it to the 'lower gain'
setting of 2V and I still feel I am getting a very high level out of
it. If I set it to the 'higher gain' setting of 1V I would be worried
about blowing something. ust
ModelCitizen, thought that you might experience that, it will not go to
it's full potential without a preamp, simply not enough gain.
And those PMC speakers are hard to drive as it is.
Borrow some preamp at a friend or a shop.
Paring source and amp without a preamp is a lottery.
