The Bryston D-Series D-130Z Hybrid and the D-250Z Hybrid from Enjoythemusic.com
From Enjoythemusic.com Bryston, legendary for their hand-assembled build quality, performance and reliability in both the pro audio and consumer audio market, has announced that the first two of four new 8-channel zone amplifiers will be available in October 2009. The Bryston D-Series D-130Z Hybrid and the D-250Z Hybrid ($4,95 and $5695 respectively) have been in development and many dealers have expressed the need for a lightweight, high performance multi-channel amplifier for distributed audio and industrial applications. Bryston uses the term "Hybrid" in reference to the combination of Class D amplifier technology along with a Bryston engineered linear power supply design. The D-130Z features dual 650 watt linear power supplies to handle 8 independent channels at 130 watts each into 4 Ohms (90 watts at 8 Ohms). The unit is configured so that there are four stereo zones and each individual zone bridgeable to 400 watts into 8 Ohms. A level control is available on each channel and each channel can select direct input (RCA), left bus only, right bus only or L+R (mono). Each zone can be muted independently with 12-volt trigger. On the rear of the unit are gold plated five-way speaker binding posts and each unit includes a five year warranty. The Bryston D-250Z Hybrid features dual 850 watt linear power supplies to handle eight independent channels at 250 watts each into 4 Ohms (150 watts at 8 Ohms). All the other features from the 130Z carry over as well. Enjoy the Music.com offered a World premiere review of their new Bryston 7B SST2 C-Series monoblock power amplifier, which can be seen by clicking here. |

klipschfan.......It is interesting that in three and a half months no one responded to this thread. I guess there isn't much interest in 8 channel multi-zone amplifiers among the members here. I don't have a use for multi-channel zone amps, but I know some of our members do have extensive multi-room sound distribution in their homes.
The Bryston D-Series amps seem to be a cut above the typical small frame zone amps available from other manufactures. The specifications on the D-130Z are impressive, with 130 watts x 8 channels into 4 ohm loads, which is the typical impedence of most in-home ceiling mounted speaker systems. This amp offers the ability to set up four independent stereo channels with 130 watts on every channel. Using class D amplifier technology along with a Bryston engineered linear power supply design enables a lot of power to be produced from a small footprint, cool running amp. Impressive, and attractive. The D-130Z might even be a nice alternative to a smaller room multi-channel home theater system.

The Bryston D-250Z is even more powerful than its smaller brother the D-130Z. The D-250Z is capable of 250 watts x 8 channel into 4 ohm loads, and a full 150 watts x 8 channels into 8 ohm loads. The Bryston engineered dual 850 watt linear power supplies are Class D, cool running, and are housed in a remarkably compact amplifier design. Each channel has independent level and mute control, 12 volt trigger, gold plated 5-way speaker binding posts, and a soft-start circuit to prevent high power inrush current during turn on. Bryston provides a full 5 year warranty on the Class D Hybrid Zone amps.
