Is this a Bryston design or a repackaged Axiom which I tested years ago: https://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/axiom-audio-a1400-8 No, it is a different amp. The Axiom had a switching power supply and had up to 8 channels. The new BD-325 has up to a maximum of 5Ch, has a different circuit board and is a hybrid design with a linear power supply at the front end and Class D output stages. The Bryston BD-325 also has a 20 Year Parts & Labor Warranty.
