    MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
    SUBJECT: BRYSTON MINI T SPEAKER

    BRYSTON MINI T - REPORT FROM THE TRENCHES:

    Very first impressions initial listening: Direct swap out from B&W 802 setup: Using Naim HDX as source Listened to progressively more detailed, complex, and wider octave ranged music, about 20 tracks, about 2 minutes each on B&W first, then quick swap for Bryston Mini T.

    On lighter, but very well recorded music, Mini T seemed lighter weight, BUT vocals were amazing in accuracy, depth, and even possibly clearer. As the music moved down into the 200hz range, with some drum work, conga, and newer recordings that weren’t studio compressed speakers seemed to come into their own.

    Going to some re-mastered Rock, the speakers got fuller, but seemed in my mind to be about 2 dB shy of output of 802, which I was surprised as the 802’s suck up power. (Pot was at same level). Detailed, but less forward jazz music seemed to favor the B&W…but of course we are talking cabinets that have 3X the volume, more drivers, and cost 4X as much as the Mini. So I decided to goose the volume pot a drop…VOILLA ! WOW, these things COOK! I have a few very strenuous tracks in my test run, from Jaco Pastorious, to Airto & Micky Hart, and finally Pancho Sanchez who along with his percussive works, has an organ that moves your innards.

    I could not believe the output of these little speakers. Not bloated, not tubby, and as much as I tried all type of vocal, I think they might be slightly better than the 802 in this 200hz-1000Hz range. Crossover components ? Driver ? Combination ? but a hair more articulate. I tried all type of male from the Velvet Fog, to james Taylor, Mick Jagger, Satchmo, Ray Charles & more…to many old school female voices, to the newer ones like Krall of course…VERY SMOOTH clean at about 88dB, and very articulate.I did play a remake of the famous test disc from the 80’s, Limehouse blues, from Jazz at the Pawnshop, that I think I have heard 100 times, if I heard it once. the background noises, were extremely clean and articulate. Al the speech was well defined. I attribute this to the cross-over points, not effecting the critical vocal range, and what is obviously a very tight patterned mid-range driver. I am assuming the distortion on this driver is very low.

    For this price, this is a grand slam of a product in the World Series of speakers !

    More to come.

    James,

    I received my printed issue today, the same day you emailed about the Mini T review. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Not a negative comment in it. He describes the monitors as studio monitors in the best sense, and has nothing but praise and admiration for your approach to accurate design throughout the review.

    Congratulations!

    I hope some reviews are in the works for your full-sized monitors as well.

    Cheers,

    Hi Folks

    Musical jewels!

    That was my impression after an active listening of this Mini T model. Wow. It was magical. I've passed a wonderful 3 hours (I will have to return as it wasn't enough long) with Rick Bastedo, sale agent, Hi-Fi Specialist of Cox's Audio in Fredericton (New Brunswick).

    I'm in process to buy a complete new sound system. Start from the beginning as I just have right now my Apple (computer with ITunes Library) and the Sonos Play 5 (bought there, at Cox's last year). Everything we have listened yesterday night was Bryston (including the DAC and the converter) except the CD Player. I had a bias perception against Bryston amplifier and other of your products. Don't know why exactly, perhaps some Magazines Critics in the past. Who knows?

    But this listening session yesterday with some of my favourites CD and records was astonishing. Unfortunately, I don't have the budget right now to buy the Mini-T, your integrated amplifier and the converter and the DAC. So I will have to choose.

    Again, bravo for this accomplishment. You have a pretty good salepersonne with Rick Bastedo, of Cox's Radio. He knows your product very well. I'm still flabbergasted by the superiority of your DAC and Converter compare to a listening with a CD. Wow. Marvellous. Indeed, Canada is going to become an audiophile and Hi-Fi product reference - A world leader in this sector Why not? Again, bravo for this so good Mini T Bookshelf speakers. Their bigger brother should be a jaw dropping experience when you listen to it.

    Keep the good work!

    BRYSTON MINI T SPEAKER - CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

    November 2013

    1. SNORGY • 2 days ago:

    Having just bought a pair of Mini T’s , with stands, several months ago, what I can say is that the Mini Ts play much larger than they look.
    Listening to them on their stands, blindfolded, a person would have no way of telling them apart from a pair of high quality floor standing towers. If the person was then to remove the blindfold, he or she would find it difficult to believe that *THAT* came out of *THOSE*.

    I first paired them with a vintage HK PM665 integrated amplifier, and I can honestly say it was, to my ears, the most perfectly matched amplifier-speaker combination that I have heard in three decades. They do want power, but if the power is available - within reason - these things will scare you before you scare them.

    Simply put, these are the best "small" speakers I have heard in a long, long time.



    2. Steve Michaelson - 6 hours ago

    Heard these last month along with the ModelTs. The Brystons are amongst the best speakers I have heard at any price. Literally stunned me.

    I got a copy of a review in a major magazine that reviewed the Bryston Mini T's, BP17 Preamp and 28B SST2 amps as a complete Bryston system.

    Here is a sneak preview:

    My experience with this system (Bryston Mini T speakers, BP17 preamp and 28BSST² amplifiers ) has forever reshaped my reference and I look forward to comparing other systems to this benchmark.

    Hi Folks,

    New review from Soundstage Magazine on the Bryston Mini T loudspeaker!

    My favorite comment:

    “Their sound was uncolored -- neither forward nor recessed, fat nor thin, romantic nor analytical. In what was basically an all-Bryston system, the Mini Ts were simply conduits at the end of a disinterested signal chain that reproduced music with clarity, a sense of ease, and excellent soundstaging”.

    Re: Bryston speakers

    The Bryston Mini T – A New Reference

    Over four decades ago, I took my first steps into a special form of insanity: I became a novice audiophile. It is a craziness that consists of reaching for an unreachable end, the sound of “live” music through a process that is entirely artificial, manufactured, in other words, reproduced sound. It is not unlike the insanity of trying to find the “real” potato chip in a highly processed one. The processed one can be delightful, but it can never be a real one. It is an image, a reproduction designed to imitate a real one. Being a audiophile is to become Jason pursuing the Golden Fleece, but knowing that it is unattainable. It is the chase and the stops along the way that keep you going. And on that journey, you have lots of good times and some bad ones. On occasion in chasing the Fleece, you get distracted and end up being fleeced purchasing gimmicks touted to have magical effects.

    As a novice audiophile, I was advised to start with the speakers. Buy the best ones you can afford, with best meaning the ones whose sound you like the best, and then buy the electronics. It has been good advice to which I've adhered. I've owned a number of speakers and a lot of excellent electronics, most of which bear the Bryston logo. But the greatest changes always have come with changes in speakers. Early on, I looked for speakers that were linear or balanced, meaning that no frequency range dominated over any other. It was only years later that I added other useful criteria: accuracy, transparency, depth in the sound stage, pinpoint imaging. One knowledgeable audiophile has noted, correctly I believe, that a reference speaker for consumers means the one they like the best. If you are an audiophile, it also is a good idea to like speakers that are accurate, transparent, etc. because the whole point of your hobby (obsession?) is to get a close as possible to what the producers of the sound recording decided to release. If you're on the quest to get near the Golden Fleece of “real” (meaning to get out of the recording exactly what was put into it) you need to have the elements of “real” in as part of your mindset. Ironically, you can love the sound of your speakers, but they should not have any sound of their own. You don't want your glasses to be rose coloured unless all you want to see is roses. You don't want speakers that are all bass unless all you want to hear is bass.

    Several years ago, I bought, twice, very expensive and beautiful sounding speakers that were highly coloured (a bass bias). Seduced by a beautiful sounding, but not accurate bass, I had drifted from my early goal of linear and when I finally heard much less expensive but very linear speakers in a side-by-side test, it was a shock. Being out many thousands of dollars, it was difficult to admit that I had misplaced my love. Those beautiful speakers are now gone. It was a pricey mistake, but through it I re-learned that in audio price is not a predictor of performance. This lesson was first taught to me as a Bryston owner. In the high end audio market, there is a segment that caters to those customers who equate price to performance because there are enough rich people who do as well. Bryston, on the other hand, apparently believes there are enough people who are willing to pay for the highest quality product possible, even if that means charging a price lower than could be gotten from rich people. And Bryston has never been willing to squeeze an extra buck out of its customers by attracting them with bling.

    It's not surprising then that I was one of the early buyers of the fabulous, bling-free Bryston Model T. It is driven by an all Bryston system: a pair of 7BSST2 amplifiers, BDA1, BDP-1, BIT15 Power Conditioner (under the Torus label). My sound room is fairly good in size and shape, if not ideal.

    The Model T is now my reference speaker. Linear, accurate, etc. All I wanted. And more. A critical “more.” Presence - the sense that musicians are playing in the room. I never heard that before in my present or past sound rooms, or indeed in any demo of any speaker I've heard. If the elusive Golden Fleece is to hear “real” music, it is hard for me to conceive how much closer an audiophile can get to this.

    So now my main system, the Sound room/Model T/Bryston electronics system, is my reference. I recognize that various applications and their respective environments inherently will be different from my main system environment. But still, I weigh the performance of my car stereo, my headphones, my home theatre my mobile devices with my headphones against my ModelT-based system. Where I find differences, I adjust these other systems, often through equalization, to achieve a closer approximation to my reference system. For example, after buying a number of headphones, I have found that Shure's new SE846 to be as close is possible for a headphone to get to the Model T sound, without EQ. They now are my reference headphones against which I judge other headphones, recognizing that no headphone can sound exactly like speakers that use walls instead of ear canals for acoustic effects.

    Recently I decided to attach better speakers to my laptop. Using an Outlaw receiver and B&W 685 bookshelf speakers I got a good result. I added an AudioQuest Dragonfly DAC and it got better. But the audiophile itch is always there. How to make it better? My answer usually has been Bryston, and I was impressed by a recent review by a professional in audio mastering who used Bryston Mini as near field speakers, which is what speakers are in my computer set up. That set up is located at the far end of my sound room. The Mini Ts are about 3-5 inches from an angled wall. Not a great arrangement when compared to the placement at the other end with my Model T. I knew that sound driven through a noisy laptop and a receiver is going to be handicapped when compared to my main system. The B&W 685s sounded good. Voices were trust forward, and as is typical of B&W, the sound, especially in the treble region, was sweet. But to get anything approximating the Model T set up, I had to do quite a bit of equalization, and even then (or because of it) it was not very good bass.

    In view of the limitations of the location and the associated electronics, I bet the Mini T would perform better than the B&W685, but not as well as it does.

    The Mini T instantly solved the bass problem, as I expected and hoped. Very close to the Model T sound, albeit without (again as expected) as much depth and weight. I was worried about that the rear ports being so close to the wall would mess up the bass. No problem: no flab or boominess. Visceral. Robust. Controlled. Enchanting. And not a smidgen of EQ. It is not surprising how many reviewers have commented on the T bass in all models. Despite all the other problems using speakers in this location and with these electronics, the Mini T more than approximated my Model T sound in terms of linearity, transparency accuracy, and pinpoint imaging. They may as well be Model Ts. But there is no overcoming the unavoidable reality of this placement and application. The depth is more shallow and the width of the soundstage is narrower. These differences are inevitable.

    There is one major point where the Mini T does not approach or approximate my Model T setup. Presence. I believe this is because of the placement lacking the dynamics of normal distances from walls. It may be if I were to set the Mini Ts where the Model T is now, I might find that it, too, has presence. Some reviewers have been so impressed with the Mini T that they prefer it in some respects to the Model T. I doubt that this would be my preference, especially given the inevitable differences in the bass end, where the T has three 8” drivers to the Mini's one. Moreover, I don't expect or need this use of the Mini T to produce an exact copy of my main system's sound. I can turn around, get up, sit in my easy chair, and crank up the main system and listen to the reference Model T system. The merit of getting close to the sound quality and sound signature of the main system is to use a different application, as I do my Shure SE846 with mobile devices over WiFi, without feeling I've sacrificed a great deal.

    What is not sacrificed at all with the Mini T used with my computer system is the kind of enjoyment I get with the Model T system. There are telltale signs when the sound is right to my ear and consistent with my predilections. First, in listening to my raft of old favourites, I get the “shiver.” That knee-jeck emotional response that makes music great and systems that produce it so appealing. The Mini Ts in my testing did this over and over. Second, if I am doing something while listening to music (reading, writing pieces like this one), and the sound draws me away to it, I know I have something special special. This is one the qualities that the Model T and Mini T share in equal measure.

    The bottom line is this: the Mini T is a terrific speaker that can make even bad locations, standard electronics, and plain Jane computers sound wonderful. It is now my reference computer speaker, and I wouldn’t be surprised that for many others it will become their main system reference speaker.

    Thanks for the reply. Last weekend I was in Fredericton visiting friends, one of whom is Rick Bastedo who works for Cox Electronics. He mentioned he had some speakers that were really worth auditioning, so I did. I was amazed at the level of detail, the sound-stage and imaging.

    Hi there!

    Loving the Mini T - cannot believe how good they are.

    Getting the BDP-1 and BDA-2 and then these speakers has been astounding...music is HUGE - had forgotten that immediacy and drive that come from speakers that can handle power.

    I run the Mini t's in concert with 2 12" subs, so the system jams pretty good.

    My question is around my current amp. I am driving the Mini T's with an (EDIT).

    What do you guys recomend both in power and current, and also what models in Bryston lineup would you recommend - 4bsst2 get the job done?

    T's' Made for Rock!

    Yes, I got the audio bug again and brought home a pair of T's in black ash.

    Having them for a week now I can say they are broke in, long weekends are great for that!
    Listening to Deep Purple- Made in Japan, an album I've been listening to since 73, 74'ish, I've never heard it sound so, Hard Rock like. Of course it's not just Made in Japan, but just about every recording except for compressed Dolby Digital crap on music videos.

    The bass is deep, which is fundamental to a lot of songs for them to sound right. A couple of songs by the Police, Synchronicity I & II, stood out like 'wow' and I'm really not that keen on the Police.

    The mid-range and highs have exceptional detail. Like you can even discern what Ozzy is mumbling in Black Sabbath-Gathered in their Masses, Blu-ray.

    Thank You, James for making great ROCK speakers!

    Mag





    Thank you for the kind comments Mag - what the Model T's do well is handle huge amounts of power with very low distortion and that lack of dynamic compression is what you are hearing in your T's.

    Enjoy!!!

    • Model T Signatures - Front left/right
    • Model TC-1 Center
    • Model T’s Surrounds,
    • Model T Subs x 2


    Hi James,

    I spent a few hours listening to CDs with the Model T Signatures last night. Did not power on the subs or other speakers. I can't believe how good these sound right out of the box. Absolutely amazing! You have blown the doors off of the (EDIT) which I have really adored.

    I am now a Bryston junkie!

    UPDATE:
    My neighbor helped me with the center setup and also helped me unpack the rear speakers. So I finally got to fire up 5.1. Without taking the time to tune with a sound meter, I put in a Blu-Ray and roughly tuned levels by ear. The surround is AWESOME. I'm hearing things I never heard before and the usual stuff is certainly sounding better. Now I need to have dinner, calm down, and really tune it.

    I tuned the system with a sound meter after I sent you the above email and had dinner. Oh, my goodness! I was up to 2am listening/watching. It sounds really fantastic James. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

    Hi Folks,

    Got this today from a very experienced high end dealer about the Bryston Model T Speakers.

    Hi James,

    The Bryston Model T speakers sound quite amazing. Very impressive for your first try. One of my big complaints about high end speakers is that they don't have full range bass for prices even up to $15,000. In our room with 30' ceilings (false acoustic tiles at 9'), the speakers easily fill the room. Center image is very sharp, soundstage is wide. Clarity is easily as good as your competition. Certainly a superb speaker.

    I think you have a winner in this speaker

    Congrats, I mean it!

    Best wishes,
    Adrian

    Greetings Bryston:

    Well I received the Mini A loudspeakers today and I'll be honest I was quite nervous un-boxing them as I kept thinking this is only $1250 a Pair - really how good can they be?

    Mini A Black Ash with BDP2 picture_0089_1.jpg

    I have listened to hundreds of speakers at this price point and never been floored like this - WOW !!!! …

    Now if I did not know the price my first thought would be those sound great but how much are they???

    Well again James you have blown me away… job well done I give this a 10 and at this price the competition should quite a bit nervous with the new kid on the block this Bryston speaker is a knock out....

    And not a little punch a total uppercut BAM and a 20year warranty!!!!!

    Hi again James

    I sound like a broken record but now after giving all the Bryston Model A speakers a fair listen and with lots of feed back for my customers this is a hit. Everyone is so positive and the presents of all the speakers is fab... It's sad that every other company can't get it right you have honestly nailed it....

    All good things come in time and well the time has come JAMES AND Bryston have done it again!

    Re: Bryston speakers

    Hi James

    Have all the Model A’s set up in the store and I was playing the A2’s and just wish to say the A2 is a JBL killer for sure and it is still a refined sound so playing anything like Norah Jones or James Taylor to AC/DC it kicks ass!

    The best comment just happened here I had a customer walking around looking for an inexpensive stereo receiver and he appeared to be distracted. I am playing the A2s with a 4B in the background and he kept looking like he was lost finally he says where is the person playing the piano!!!

    Well I was playing The Piano Guys and he was looking high and low for a piano! – LOL.

    Re: Bryston speakers

    Hi Bryston,

    I've owned a pair of Middle T's for a few months now and over that period of time several friends have had a chance to hear them.

    The phrase I hear most often (after turn it up a bit) is "They are so clear". By that they mean you can hear everything. Nothing is obscured and you don't have to stain to hear it. Old records sound new again because your picking up on a lot of little things that have been buried in other speakers. Now I'm looking at getting a 4BSST2. I have a tendency to turn up the volume a bit more than usual because of how good they sound that my 3BSST clips. Really its not a bad problem to have.

    Well done Bryston!! Killer speakers.

    A while ago, Inner Ear Editor Ernie Fisher wrote a "Short & Sweet" review of the Bryston Mini-T loudspeaker.

    We just received this review from Allen Edelstein, gave it a read and found it to be a very interesting take on the Mini-T and thought we'd post it Allen Edelstein. Click the link to read the complete unedited review - probably the longest review we have ever published over the last twenty-five years but the Mini T deserves it. We hope you enjoy it.

    Hi Folks,

    Bryston Subwoofer starting to impress the Pro Movie Studio market:

    Dear James,


    Capture.JPG

    I watched a movie with an interesting sound track/score last night (The Place Beyond The Pines by Derek Cianfrance). It was my first movie with the new soffit mounted speaker/Bryston Mini T subwoofer set up. I watched the movie with Natalie last night and we agreed that it sounded awesome - the best our room has sounded for film and TV, accurately reproducing the sound of a movie or film mixing theatre.

    The Bryston Mini T Sub has a lovely, unobtrusive character that reveals itself with both quiet and loud passages. I don't think I would have been able to pull off the switch to soffit mounted speakers at home with a lesser sub. All speakers a now set to small, so the sub doing all the work below 80hz. The integration between the Bryston Mini T-sub and my small front wall speakers is excellent, especially noticeable with the centre speaker. This is no small feat!

    Thanks so much for helping me explore, discover and build great audio environments for both music and cinema. I'm very excited to hear how my new TV show Penny Dreadful (for Showtime in the U.S.) translates to home. We're about three episodes into creating the sound for the first season. It's going to be something special. I can't wait for you to hear it.

    Re: Bryston speakers

    Hi Folks,

    Here is a French review of the Bryston Mini T speakers. I will have an English translation shortly but have included the Conclusion in English for now.

    Header.jpg

    Untitled.jpg


    In conclusion

    The Bryston company had two major objectives in the design of their range of speakers, the first being to reproduce music naturally and precisely and second to ensure that its speakers can play a volume levels that capture the full musical scope of concert music without introducing distortion or dynamic compression.

    A final specification from Bryston was to build a high quality speaker that was affordable. It may be difficult for some of us to accept a bookshelf style speaker that costs more than $ 2,500 is considered " affordable," but when comparing the sound quality of Mini-T vis-à-vis to what other manufacturers offer, we immediately see that Bryston is really giving us a bargain! Even adding the cost of a good pair of stands on which to place the Mini -T , the Mini T is capable of performance that can easily rival (if not exceed ) that of freestanding speakers and a price comparable with a guarantee 20 years Bryston . Well ...

    The Bryston speakers really do create a ‘suspension of disbelief’. What we are trying to say here is that an audio system should ideally exceed the limits of the recording media and transport us to the stage as if in a live performance.

    The aim sought by Bryston with Mini -T speakers is to offer its customers a higher level of disbelief ... Mission accomplished.

    Conclusion:

    “The Bryston Mini T speaker by name but not by nature, these speakers are true high-end products when it comes to sound.

    Easy to place, offering accurate, smooth, highly satisfying sound, there is little to quibble about here. Partner with appropriately powered amps, feed them some music, then just enjoy the result!”

    Re: Bryston speakers

    Here is the announcement I will be putting out on the tweeter.

    Hi Folks,

    We have recently developed a new tweeter for the Bryston Speaker line – both A Series and T Series.

    All the A Series speakers already incorporate the new tweeter designs and any new T Series speakers also have the new tweeter installed.

    The new tweeters are plug and play adaptable to the T Series and are available for $90.00 each.


    The new tweeter has 4 major changes:

    1. A die-cast aluminum face plate for both better rigidity and for cooling. It functions as a heat sink for the tweeter.

    2. A new horn design to provide smoother off-axis response above 12 kHz.

    3. A larger rear chamber that lowers the resonance frequency further below the crossover region.

    4. The new tweeter can also handle significantly more power than the older version.
