OTOH, I am looking for a new 5+ channel amp as my trusty Bryston 9B has blown a channel (again) and I have decided to move on from it.
Off-topic:
I also have a Bryston 9B-ST with one channel out . . . maybe 9Bs are not as trusty as most other Bryston equipment. I never got my bad channel fixed, but when I called Bryston's service department about it, the person who answered the phone definitely gave off a "not the 9B AGAIN" vibe.
