The BP-19 is an accomplished preamplifier from Bryston, drawing on years of research and development alongside many design innovations achieved during development of the award-winning BR-20 preamp, reproducing music effortlessly using only premium hand-selected components. The BP-19 brings Bryston's most storied Canadian engineering to a serious preamplification format.
Key specs that matter
Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio (unweighted) is an excellent 110dB. Total harmonic distortion plus noise is an exceptionally low under 0.0006%. At 43.0 x 48.3 x 11.6cm and 5.5kg, the BP-19 maintains a substantial preamplifier chassis reflecting the design innovations inherited from the award-winning BR-20.
Sound and use context
Expect an effortless, uncoloured performance reflecting the exceptionally low sub-0.0006% distortion combined with the excellent 110dB signal-to-noise ratio, with premium hand-selected components delivering the refined character Bryston positions as central to this preamplifier.
Pairing
Bryston's own broader power-amplifier catalogue, including the T10 series, offers natural, brand-coherent pairings within the same considered engineering philosophy.
Alternatives
Bryston's own flagship BR-20 offers the more elaborate preamplifier this model's design innovations were derived from.
