Bryston watts...

David Mitchell Gold Member Username: Dmitchell Ottawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2061 Registered: Feb-07	Posted on Thursday, February 05, 2009 - 02:24 GMT I was going through the packaging for my Power Pac 120's and I found the spec sheets for both amps (oh which I still 17 years of warranty left - hoo-ah!). The spec sheet reported one amp running at 150 watts at 8 ohms and the other 152 watts at 8 ohms. Is this typical of Bryston amps to overclocked above and beyond their stated wattage? Not that I'm complaining...

The specs in the literature (not the test sheet) state worse case scenario. My B60 gets somewhere in the 70s according to the test sheet. If you're getting rid of the Power Pacs or anything else Bryston, PM me. I may be interested.

David Mitchell Gold Member Username: Dmitchell Ottawa, Ontario Canada Post Number: 2069 Registered: Feb-07	Posted on Thursday, February 05, 2009 - 12:32 GMT There was nothing on there about it being tested at 4 ohms Nuck. The manual states that it pushes 200w at 4 ohms. I suspect it would actually be a fair bit more than that.

I figured you weren't quite ready to get rid of them yet. I've got my eye on their DAC, but its a bit steep for my budget and my Apollo is no slouch. When/if you sell any of the Bryston gear, let me know.
