Smile Bryston Amp Recommendations?

We've been in the process of building up our first ever 5.1 setup for nearly two years now. As Mac folks, we already own four channels of Mac amplification and all of the speakers we need. We don't own an active sub, yet, but that's another topic for another thread.

At this point, I'm looking for that 5th channel of amplification and, as I've been researching the possibilities, I'm beginning to think that a nice used Bryston amp might fit the bill. As with our Mac MC300, I'm thinking that investing in an amp that can be bridged for single channel use might be best.

We have a B&W HTM3S that we will be using as our center channel speaker (50 - 250W), so an amp that can be bridged for more than 250W would be ideal.

If anyone has any thoughts on a used Bryston power amp(s) that fits this description, I'd appreciate your recommendation(s). By the way, we're hoping to keep the budget for the center amp at under 2,500 USD.

Thank you for your time
