OK folks, these two companies are well-known for making high-quality,
audiophile-level amplifiers, without an extremely high price. The
reason I came up with this question was a fairly silly one: I noticed
that Telarc Records (based in Cleveland) has used both amps for
monitoring its recordings at various times, and I wondered how
different they really were. What do you think?

Thanks,

Adam

They are very different. The Brystons have a brash bipolar presentation,
while the Thresholds are delicate, perhaps too delicate.

They are chosen for the fact that they are well made and reliable
without any distinct sound of their own.

Any one telling you other wise is ill informed.

I've heard amplifiers from both companies. Have you?

No? Then you're ill informed, and ill-willed as well.

Are you kidding?
Its proven.
Ernie Schlumphammer once did a DBT of them and
couldn't hear a difference, Nuff said!
Good enough for Mike.
Good enough for all of us.

Amps and speakers mate differently and certain combinations are clearly
audibly better. So even though two different amps my be indistinguishable
in a DBT for a given set of speakers, it is certainly NOT true for all
combinations. I assume it has to due with how well the amp handles
impedance swings of a given speaker.

Either Bryston or Threshhold will work fine. Buy either.

Amps and speakers mate differently

Sometimes - usually sitatuions involving substandard amps.

and certain combinations are clearly audibly better.

Lots of different amps sound no different.

So even though two different amps my be indistinguishable in a DBT for a
given set of speakers, it is certainly NOT true for all
combinations.

Bad logic. The most that can be logically inferred is that it MAY not be
true for all combinations.

I assume it has to due with how well the
amp handles impedance swings of a given speaker.

A lot of amps do outstandingly good jobs of handing fairly nastly speaker
loads.

I hear differences between some very good makes.

Of course, there are equivalence classes.

Yes.

Perhaps, but the fact is still that properly functioning amps sound
alike.

So some say and in very rare cases it might actually be true, but in
general, it's not. A normal speaker with a normal load impedance, will
mate with any well designed amplffer.

So even though two different amps my be indistinguishable
in a DBT for a given set of speakers, it is certainly NOT true for all
combinations. I assume it has to due with how well the amp handles
impedance swings of a given speaker.

See above. Speakers with such problematic impedance swings are to be
generally avoided. There are plenty of truly excelent sounding
speakers with no such problems.

Modern SS amps are able to deal with most speaker loads with no effort
at all.

Double blind, level matched, blah, blah, blah, I'm sure!!!

That's not a 'fact' at all.

Properly functioning mckelviphibians always croak the same way.

I think you like writing "mckelviphibian" because Mickey nearly strains
his tongue when he sounds it out.
