Brand: Bryston

Bryston's 3B SST (Stereo Semisolid State) is a high-performance solid-state amplifier that combines the benefits of both solid-state and tube technology. The SST concept utilizes a unique topology that incorporates patented, semisolid state devices (SSDs) in the input and output stages, which provides the linearity and dynamics of vacuum tubes but with the reliability, efficiency, and low noise floor of a transistor amplifier.Compared to traditional transistor amplifiers, the SST technology provides a more refined, detailed, and tonally accurate sound with a wide soundstage, deep bass, and clear, transparent mids and highs. The SSDs have a unique smoothing effect on the signal, which reduces harshness and glare resulting in a more natural and relaxed presentation.The Bryston 3B SST features input connections for balancing/unbalancing sources, output transformers, and interface cards for integration with home automation systems. The amplifier is rated at 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 600 watts into 4 ohms, making it suitable for a wide range of speaker applications.In summary, the Bryston 3B SST offers the best of both worlds - the expense and fragility of vacuum tubes and the reliability and efficiency of transistor amplifiers - resulting in a superb and elegant audio experience.
