"Tremendous Control, Power, and Detail"The Bryston 14B³ dual channel (stereo) amplifier is basically two 7B³s combined in a dual mono modular design delivering a huge power output of 600 watts into 8 ohms and 900 watts into 4 ohms. The 14B³ has the power to drive with breath-taking ease and clarity speakers that have been considered "impossible" loads in the past. And it allows any speaker perform to the very best of its ability. "The Bryston 14B³ gave an amazing performance with four different speakers: some benefited from its 600 watts of power, while all displayed improved clarity, detail, and control, with a wide and deep soundstage," observes Greg Handy, HomeTheaterReview.com January 1, 2018. "Even though it's expensive, the Bryston 14B³ proves to be an astounding value." "The 14B3 lapped up the challenge, delivering tremendous control, power, and detail," raves Edgar Kramer in Australia's Audio Esoterica magazine, Issue #1, 2016. "The leading edge of bass notes was highly defined, while the notes properly exhibited a forceful tightness. It proved unshakeable in the toughest tests it was subjected to…" Amazing Transparency, Musicality, and Ease of ListeningThe Bryston 14B³ assures an amazing degree of transparency, musicality, and ease of listening. A robust yet beautiful machined aluminum enclosures houses Bryston's proprietary industry-leading circuit design, resulting in exemplary performance observed both in the listening space and in the laboratory. The Bryston 14B³ amplifier can receive analog audio from any preamp or surround processor with volume controlled line-level outputs. Balanced (XLR and TRS) inputs as well as singled ended RCA inputs are both available and can be selected using the Input Select switch on the rear panel of the amplifier. Integrate the 14B³ with other electronics in your system. The low-voltage trigger on the back of the amp can be connected to your Bryston preamp to automatically power on when you turn on your preamp. Every single 14B³ comes with an individual specification sheet. You'll see exactly how well your particular amplifier performed on the test bench. And like every Bryston amplifier, each 14B³ is tested for 100 hours in the factory before it ships to ensure long term reliability. Bryston Cubed Series AmplifiersBryston amplifiers enjoy universal acclaim from both audio professionals and music enthusiasts unlike any other brand in the world. As a result of relentless passion for superb performance and unparalleled build quality, Bryston engineers have continued to innovate since the company's groundbreaking premier in 1976. The Cubed Series amplifiers continue this tradition of excellence, highlighted by lower distortion, increased bandwidth, and reduced noise, presenting listeners with a crystal clear window into their most favorite recordings. Bryston Cubed Series Amplifiers, featuring patented circuitry developed in conjunction with Dr. Alexandru Salomie, move the listener ever so close to the music with such visceral realism, the experience is most comparable to live performance. What Defines High Performance?Reproducing exactly what is captured in a recording without exception and without added distortion fulfills Bryston's definition of high performance. Each Bryston Cubed amplifier is designed without compromise in pursuit of this lofty goal. Bryston engineers, led by Christopher Russell, have been busy over the years since the advent of the SST2 Series finding new methods to reduce noise and distortion to reveal more nuance and subtlety than ever before. Cubed Series amplifiers employ significant improvements over the highly acclaimed SST2 Series, including dramatically less distortion at the input stage, improved common mode noise rejection, a major improvement in EMI/RFI noise rejection, and less than 500mW standby power consumption. Finally, Bryston updated the dress panel aesthetics with clean lines and a new finish. Extreme Clarity and DetailAt Bryston, finding ways to eliminate distortion from its designs is a way of life. All Cubed Series amplifiers feature a new patented input circuit that is precisely optimized and linear beyond any that Bryston has used before. Featuring twelve active devices in a groundbreaking array, this new circuit both matches the amplifier to virtually any preamplifier and provides the first 6dB of gain. The new input stage is so transparent, its measurable distortion is less than 1/1000th of 1 percent! Newly designed circuitry in the Cubed Series amplifiers is virtually impervious to noise such as RFI and others induced by external and environmental causes. The Quad-Complementary topology improves linearity to a new standard of accuracy while virtually eliminating aggressive higher harmonic distortion byproducts. The overall harmonic distribution of Bryston’s Quad-Complementary output mimics the characteristics of a Class-A design, but with dramatically lower distortion. Each amplifier channel includes its own fully independent power supply with separate transformer. Bryston strives for accuracy and transparency because that is what sounds best. When a playback system is faithful to the recording, the listener can enjoy the subtlest details, capturing the depth and soul of the performance as the artist intended. Legendary QualityCubed Series amplifiers employ design innovation to achieve superior performance, yet so much has remained constant through years of evolution. Each amplifier is manufactured in Bryston's state-of-the-art facility located in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, utilizing many locally sourced components. Many members of the Bryston team have been with the company for decades and all take great pride in their highly specialized craft. All Bryston products are proven on the company's test bench for one hundred hours of burn-in before shipping. Amplifiers cycle between full power and idle in thirty-minute intervals to uncover any anomalies that could be illuminated by thermal stress. Bryston's reputation for reliability is without peer. Not only do Bryston's amplifiers undergo pass/fail testing, but each must also achieve excellence in performance benchmarks as well. With each Cubed Series model, the customer will receive a comprehensive performance certificate detailing the exact specifications of the amplifier. To demonstrate its commitment to excellence and performance, every Bryston amplifier is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for a full twenty years. Front Panels and FinishesCubed Series models are available in black or silver colored dress panels and are 17 or 19 inches wide. Nineteen-inch wide models include front mounted handles. 14B³ Power Amplifier
"Finding a competitively priced stereo amplifier with the same power as the Bryston 14B³ was futile. If here is something out there, I was not able to find it." "The Bryston 14B³ gave an amazing performance with four different speakers: some benefited from its 600 watts of power, while all displayed improved clarity, detail, and control, with a wide and deep soundstage." "If chosen carefully, an amplifier can remain a relevant part of your audio system for many years, unlike other component categories. So it makes sense to consider the most sophisticated and high-quality amplifier you can afford. Over the years of purchasing audio equipment at various price points, I have discovered one truth: It is better to spend more than I had planned than to spend less than I should. It is with this philosophy in mind that I say, even though it's expensive, the Bryston 14B³ proves to be an astounding value." - Greg Handy, HomeTheaterReview.com January 1, 2018 "While I also appreciate the older Bryston products and their specific charms, Bryston’s latest Cubed series really has taken the sound to a whole new level." "Even audiophiles with a larger budget should give these amps a listen, and they might be pleasantly surprised! This is absolutely no over-controlled, over-damped and analytical sound yet there is all the power and control that any speaker needs, along with newfound levels of nuance, focus and transparency to satisfy even picky listeners. With Bryston there just are no sins of commission." "Yes, there are amps with even greater levels of transparency, faster, more articulate bass and even more resolution, but these cost a lot more and don’t necessarily sound as gloriously full-bodied and rich as these Brystons. And even after listening to some of the best amps out there, the Brystons do not disappoint on a musical level. They just sound great!" - Christiaan Punter, hifi-advice.com, December 26, 2017 "The 14B3 lapped up the challenge, delivering tremendous control, power and detail. The leading edge of bass notes was highly defined, while the notes properly exhibited a forceful tightness. It proved unshakeable in the toughest tests it was subjected to…" "What should be the expectation from a high power solid-state amplifier? Well for starters, you'd demand accuracy and faithfulness of reproduction in both the recording and the sonic signature (if any) of the preceding componentry. Plus total control of whatever speaker is being driven, excellent tonality and timbral balance —all mandatory. And of course, wide electrical compatibility with preamplification, teamed with unbreakable reliability via the application of highly-skilled engineering. Knead the above with a sprinkle of styling flair and a squeeze of solid casework—and you have a magnificent blend, right there, all ingredients fused, in the essence of the superb Bryston 14B3." - Edgar Kramer, Australia's Audio Esoterica magazine, Issue #1, 2016 "In our opinion, the new Bryston 14B3 Cube stereo amplifier is most certainly an Everything Audio Network Stellar Sound Award winner and a candidate for amp of the year. If you are looking for amplifier honesty and the ability to drive any speaker in the largest of rooms, or just like the power reserve on hand in your modest listening area, this is one to consider." - John Gatski, Everything Audio, August 1st, 2017 "The Bryston 14B³ is well featured for a power amp and I particularly like its selectable gain which proved useful in my system. I’m also a fan of the option of balanced and unbalanced connectivity. There are no pre-outs, which in my case would actually be useful for subwoofer use and bi-amping." - Alain Le Bon, StereoNet, January 1st, 2017
