Bryston 14B (2.0) Stereo Power Amplifier

Bryston 14B 2.0 – powerful stereo power amplifier with 600 watts per channel

The Bryston 14B 2.0 combines the power reserves of a full-fledged high-end amplifier with the flexibility of a classic stereo power amplifier. Delivering 600 watts per channel into 8 ohms and up to 900 watts into 4 ohms, the 14B 2.0 provides enormous power, making it suitable even for the most demanding loudspeakers. Despite its impressive performance, the focus is not solely on raw power, but also on precision, dynamics, and control.

A particular strength of the 14B 2.0 is its consistent dual-mono design. Both channels have completely independent power supplies, including their own transformers. This allows each channel to provide its power reserves independently, ensuring superior reproduction, especially during complex and dynamic musical passages.

Bryston also utilizes the patented Salomie circuit, which is used in the Cubed series amplifiers. Together with the sophisticated amplifier architecture, this enables extremely precise and low-distortion signal processing. The switchable gain of 23 dB or 29 dB allows for flexible adaptation to different preamplifiers and system configurations.

With balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, the 14B 2.0 can be easily integrated into high-quality hi-fi systems. The power amplifier impresses with its exceptionally low noise level and high resolution, ensuring precise reproduction of even the finest details and dynamic gradations.

For quiet operation, the amplifier is fully convection-cooled and requires no fans. The solid housing made of milled and anodized aluminum underscores the high-quality construction and is designed for long-term use.

The 14B 2.0 also demonstrates practicality in its operation and system integration. A microprocessor-controlled soft-start system manages the power-on process and prevents unnecessary strain on the circuit. The amplifier can be automatically switched on and off along with other components via the DC trigger. In standby mode, power consumption is less than 500 mW.

The imposing design underscores the amplifier's capabilities: weighing around 41 kg and with a cabinet height of just over 20 cm, the 14B 2.0 is undoubtedly a fully-fledged power amplifier. It offers power reserves that allow for confident control even with demanding loudspeakers.

The Bryston 14B 2.0 is therefore a compelling choice for demanding stereo systems where high power, control, and precise music reproduction are equally important. Its combination of 600 watts per channel, independent power supplies, low distortion, and proven Bryston engineering makes it a powerful, high-end amplifier for uncompromising listening systems.
