Knowing that big amps can do this it does not really bother me, but it is different than the usual hiss (white noise). So I decided to measure the output at the speaker terminals.
Amp 1:
0.4 mV AVG
Min -2.5 mV
Max +2.5 mV
Amp 2:
-7.4 mV AVG
Min -11.5 mV
Max -3.6 mV
I don’t think this is anywhere near the specified -117 dB SNR which should be less than 0.1 mV by my calculations. Also looks like Amp 2 has a significant DC offset. What have others found?
Can Bryston fix this?

Sure they can. Send in for warranty. Most likely a bad capacitor(s). I had my 14B SST with one channel bad. They replaced a bunch of things and got it back to factory specs.
