I then put on a Bryston 3-b and they sounded like a totally different animal. Low end was tight for days (As tight as a 6" woofer can be) and the top end was crisp and extremely well defined but not harsh.... I still prefered the Bryston over all the others. It seemed the best match for the speaker.

I couldn't agree more! Brystons are truly outstanding. They really are making some of the best amplifiers in the world. Few can match them, even those considered "boutique". And the ones that do, are usually many $thousands$ more.
As for the BM15, sorry to say, but a 10" 2-way is simply WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! Nobody has been designing serious speakers this way for twenty-five years. A 10" midbass driver is INCAPABLE of reproducing anything but mediocre midrange at best - not the 24W100, not any 10" using current technology. I personally feel 6.5" is the maximum size for modern high performance midrange. Even then, you have to be very selective.
If you want good midrange performance, get a small 2-way. If you also want deep bass extension, get a pair of subs or a 3-way. Don't mess around with this BM15 anachronism.
