I have never listened to the older Lex amps. Bryston amps I have listned to and they are very refined albiet forward for my tastes. I however listened to the new Lex (Crown) amp and didn't like the sound a bit. It was hooked to M&K THX speakers (also forward for my tastes) and the dealer played vertical limit (avalanche scene) at reference level and I felt like running out the room with my ears covered. Thats when the dealer told me about Lex going with Crown and he and I thought it must have been a $$$ based decision.

If you can get the Bryston I would prefer that over the new Lex.

The truth is not out there but within you.
