Hi Jeff,

Yes. It was an interesting match between the MBL preamp and the Bryston monoblocks. I guess it was sheer luck. I heard the MBL preamp in the showroom and was absolutely smitten by it. 
So upon bringing it home and inserting it into the system, its synergy with the  Esoteric dac, Brystons and The Music was simply stunning. 
The MBL preamp sounded way better in my home system than in the all MBL set-up in the showroom.

Fully agree with you that the ambience and the soundstage of The Music are incredible! So too is their musicality!
Cheers! 

Jon.

2020;

How did you end up with the MBL preamp and Bryston amp
A combo that you do not hear together, much.

I heard the music with a nagra tape machine with a trio recorded in a church
My goodness , the ambience and soundstage was unbelievable....

How does it sound

Thanks, jond. 
When I first heard and saw The Music 8 years ago, it was truly love at first sight. 
And today, they sound even better and look just as gorgeous as the very first day.
The exquisite wood and piano finish are quite a sight to behold everyday. J.  :)

Fantastic looking system Jon I'm sure it sounds amazing. And those Music's are lovely speakers to look at as well. Happy listening.
