The Bryston B135 Cubed Integrated Amplifier is a reference-grade integrated amplifier designed for audiophiles seeking the performance of separates in a single, space-saving chassis. It merges the acclaimed BP-17 preamplifier and 2.5B Cubed power amplifier, offering 135 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 180 watts into 4 ohms. The B135 Cubed features six analog RCA inputs (plus a tape loop), a high-quality headphone output, and user-configurable home theater bypass. Optional modules include a 24-bit/192kHz DAC and a moving-magnet phono stage, each available for an additional cost. The amplifier employs Bryston's patented Salomie Cubed series input circuitry for ultra-low distortion and is fully convection cooled for silent operation. Its robust build quality is matched by a 20-year warranty, making it a long-term investment for serious music lovers.
