As a result of the patented technology developed for the Bryston cubic series of amplifiers in collaboration with Dr. Salomay, intermodulation distortion decreased to 0.006 percent and total harmonic distortion to 0.005 percent at maximum power, which nevertheless increased significantly for each channel to 200 watts at 8 ohms load. Bryston's 20-year warranty remains the same.
This product has been continuously produced (although often improved) since 1978. This esteemed amplifier is currently in its sixth generation, and it has never been better. Now with 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms (and over 500 watts at 4 ohms), this true dual mono amplifier is powerful enough for almost any speaker, but its price remains affordable. The degree of clarity, power, nuance, and outright truthfulness of this amplifier is staggering. If you've always wanted one, maybe now is the right time.
The amplifier demonstrates all its strengths: first of all, its modular design, in which each channel is autonomous (it has its own audio transmission scheme, independent connectors and a power supply unit), as before, the 9B3 amplifier modules are removable. This means that the 9B3 can be configured with fewer channels if its application area requires it, or it can be ordered immediately in a 3-, 4- or 5-channel version. As a result of the patented technology developed for the Bryston cubic series of amplifiers in collaboration with Dr. Salomi, intermodulation distortion decreased to 0.006 percent and total harmonic distortion to 0.005 percent at maximum power, which, as already mentioned, nevertheless increased significantly for each channel — up to 200 watts at 8 ohms load.
The Bryston BD-325 is a Class D multichannel power amplifier. Dynamic power (100 ms) available for all channels: 4,500 watts.
The continuous RMS power of this stereo amplifier per channel at a resistance of 8 ohms is 225 watts, at a resistance of 4 ohms — 450 watts.
