For those of us who prioritize the quality and power of the front three channels in our theaters, the Bryston 6B SST² is the ideal amplifier. It was conceived as essentially a 3 channel 4B. Each channel is massively powerful, exceptionally clean, and fully independent. Or, use the 6B as the amp for an active 3-way loudspeaker. There are lots of applications for an odd channel count these days. The 6B SST² is the best sounding option out there.
