Bryston
Bryston Cubed 2.0 Stereo Power Amplifier Line
Special Order
The new Bryston “2.0” Cubed amplifiers celebrate Bryston’s 50 th year and signals a meaningful evolution of the current platform rather than the launch of an entirely new product family.
In this case, the core identity of the amplifier remains intact: the design philosophy, intended customer, model position, and overall series architecture continue from the existing generation. However, the changes are substantial enough that the product should not be presented as a minor running update or silent revision.
Together, these updates make the Bryston 2.0 Cubed a more adaptable evolution of the Bryston amplifier platform: evolutionary not revolutionary.

A Legacy Evolves
- Enhanced heatsink design helps the amplifiers manage heat more effectively for dependable everyday performance.
- Substantially more robust and removable faceplate improves service flexibility, supports future finish options, and gives customers more opportunities for personalization.
- Redesigned chassis with cleaner lines, refined proportions, and a more polished high-end presence that modernizes the appearance while preserving the distinctive Cubed identity.
- Precision-machined aluminium construction enhances fit, finish, and overall chassis refinement.
Faceplate Options
- Standardized 18-inch consumer faceplates replace previous 17- inch and 19-inch options with one unified size.
- Available with or without handles to suit different system layouts and aesthetic preferences.
- Consistent cosmetics across the Bryston 2.0 series and Class D series creates cleaner symmetry in multi-unit installations.
- Removable faceplate design supports easier service access, future custom finishes, and personalization options.
THERMAL PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY
- Optimized heat sink geometry and improved thermal pathways provide more effective heat dissipation.
- Cooler operation under load helps extend component life and support long-term reliability.
- Stable thermal performance helps maintain consistency during extended listening sessions.
- Improved reliability is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.
BUILD QUALITY
- Reduced internal cabling supports a cleaner internal layout and improves consistency.
- Stainless steel fasteners and precision metric hardware improve durability, servicability, and international compatibility.
- High-quality fastening and precision threading align with premium industrial design standards.
Customization
Custom colours and faceplates such as 19 inch with or without handle options allow each component to suit the listener’s room, system, and personal preferences.
QUAD COMPLIMENTARY
This sophisticated design increases linearity and minimizes higher-order harmonic distortion. By improving transistor matching and reducing output capacitance fourfold, Bryston achieves better transient response and bandwidth. The harmonic structure closely resembles that of Class-A amplifiers, but with much lower overall distortion.
INDEPENDENT POWER SUPPLIES
Each Class AB amplifier channel features its own discrete power supply and transformer - an uncommon feature at any price. This supports Bryston’s commitment to transparency and fidelity, ensuring that every system reproduces recordings accurately.
OPTIMIZED POWER DELIVERY
Bryston's on-going "first-to-last-watt" philosophy ensures outstanding performance across the entire power spectrum. Even the high-powered mono models, such as the 600W 7B and 1000W 28B, deliver exceptional detail at any volume level.
PRODUCT RANGE & FLEXIBILITY
With output options from 200 to 1000 watts per channel, the Cubed 2.0 adapts to a variety of listening preferences. It delivers wide dynamic range and clarity, whether reproducing subtle details or full orchestral intensity.
SILENT PASSIVE COOLING
Instead of fans, the Cubed 2.0 uses large aluminum heat sinks for effective, silent cooling, supporting reliable operation over the long term.
CONNECTIVITY AND FLEXIBILITY
The Bryston Cubed 2.0 amplifiers accommodate any preamplifier with selectable single-ended RCA or Balanced XLR inputs. Speakers connect using gold-plated binding posts compatible with bare wire, spades, or banana plugs.
Most amp models support remote operation via DC trigger ports, switchable gain, and bridgeable channels for added flexibility.
MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE
All Bryston products are manufactured at the company’s advanced facility in Dwight, Ontario, Canada using locally sourced components whenever possible. Investments in on-site machinery have reduced dependency on overseas suppliers. Many team members have decades of experience, and each amplifier is subjected to thorough bench testing and thermal cycling to ensure reliability.
RELIABILITY & CUSTOMER ASSURANCE
Bryston owners often enjoy decades of flawless performance from their equipment. Each unit must not only pass functional tests but exceed strict performance standards. A detailed performance certificate accompanies every 2.0 Series product, underscoring Bryston’s dedication to quality.
COMPREHENSIVE WARRANTY
All Bryston analog components are covered by a fully transferable 10-year warranty, reinforcing the company’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
