A Classic Revisited: 
First introduced in 2002 and manufactured up until 2010, the Bryston 14B-SST has since become a classic, admired for its ability to deliver powerful, nuanced, and emotionally engaging sound. 

Lost of techie stuff here:

From Stereophile Magazine: "The 14B-SST was designed only for bridged operation. Each of its channels contains two amplifiers, wired in series and operated out of phase with each other. The 14B-SST's two ±65V rails allow each channel to swing almost ±130V. The 14B-SST is a dual-mono design; ie, one power supply per bridged channel, both mounted in a single chassis. The two amplifier channels are arranged on either side, with common circuit boards for power-up, fault detection, logic, and front-panel LED control. Short lead lengths bring the eight 27,000µF electrolytic filter caps to within 1" of the output circuitry. The protection circuitry is designed to handle most fault conditions, including shorts and DC offset. The 14B-SST's discrete input circuitry features the ST buffer circuit, now standard in all ST amplifiers for both their single-ended and balanced inputs. The input circuits are completely symmetrical. The 14B-SST's output stage uses 32 (eight pairs per channel) of a new type of bipolar output transistor, each PNP/NPN pair controlled by a single driver transistor. The power transistors in the 14B-SST (and now in the SST line) are larger, faster, and can handle more power than those in the 7B-ST, and have been proven to be more reliable, says Bryston. Output devices are hand-selected to ensure that the transistor gains are matched.  Combined with its power, effortless dynamics, soundstaging, and open highs, the 14B-SST's impartiality allowed me to hear the most subtle details of the Burmester B-99s, the Revel Salons, and the Quad ESL-989s. The 14B-SST got out of the way of the music, and its unflappable neutrality shook my longstanding assumptions about about bridged output circuits. Contrary to popular opinion, a well-engineered bridged output circuit might just be the ideal solid-state design for producing high power with low distortion."

From Stereonet: "Known for its robust build and outstanding sonic characteristics, the 14B-SST stands out as a remarkable piece in the world of high-fidelity audio. Don't miss this unique opportunity to own a piece of audio history! Power and Precision:  This powerhouse delivers an impressive 600 watts per channel into 8Ω in stereo mode, ensuring it can drive even the most demanding speakers with ease. Its frequency response ranges from 1Hz to 100kHz, showcasing an ability to reproduce audio with extraordinary accuracy and detail. Low Distortion, High Clarity:  With a total harmonic distortion of just 0.005%, the 14B-SST maintains audio purity and clarity, ensuring a listening experience that's true to the original recording. Its damping factor of 300 further guarantees tight control over the speakers, enhancing the overall sound quality. Optimized for Performance: The amplifier features a gain of 29 dB and an input sensitivity of 2.5V, making it versatile and compatible with a wide range of preamps and source components. The signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB indicates a background that's exceptionally quiet, allowing the music to shine through without any unwanted noise. Built for Stability:  Designed to handle a minimum speaker load impedance of 4Ω, the 14B-SST is capable of driving a diverse array of speaker systems, ensuring reliable and stable performance. Robust Design:  Measuring 483 x 205 x 521mm and weighing 36.4kg, the 14B-SST boasts a solid and durable construction, characteristic of Bryston's commitment to quality. Its design is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally robust, making it a valuable addition to any high-end audio setup."

From Home Theater Hi Fi :  "The Bryston 14B SST is a marvelous power amplifier. It produces clean, low distortion, neutral sound, at power levels few of us have experienced. Regardless of how much power one has, we typically listen to music at only a few watts. But the overhead with an amplifier like the 14B means delivers a dynamic range that has to be heard to be believed."
