Hi James,

Report from the front:

The Bryston speakers have been very well received by all who hear and see them.

I had two serious audiophiles in our Bryston demo room last Saturday. Both were blown away by the Model T's expansive sound stage and amazing imaging. They kept tapping their toes and saying things like "Wow!" and "Great detail!". One of them is considering replacing his current 25K speakers with the Model T. They brought CDs to listen to but never got to them because they were having so much fun playing HD Tracks on the BDP-2.

They also commented on the impressive build quality and relatively small footprint for a reference caliber speaker. They have requested to come back when the Model T TOW comes in to experience a movie on a complete Bryston HT system!

I thoroughly enjoy demonstrating and selling Bryston products. Keep up the good work!

Bryston by AV Designs

I must say....this is the best set up for me...monstrous set up for full Bryston system.... James and Low spared no expense to have this set up in the show.

And the Model T speakers....have shown their full potential given the bigger room compared to when I demoed it in the smaller show room. And I have my eyes on the Mini T and Middle T....

Both home cinema and 2 channel Hi-Fi duties....the Model T package surpasses all my expectations... The soundstage and depth presented by these speakers really move my soul... People unexpectedly thought these were other speaker brand...and had high praises on this set up.

The full list for the Bryston set up is as follows:

• JVC DLA-RS46 Panamorph CineVista lens
• JVC DLA-RS48 Panamorph UH480EC lens
• Screen Research 140” wide TheatreCurve 2.40 format trans screen
• Oppo BDP-105 Blu-ray players
• Bryston SP3 pre-amp / processor
• Bryston BP17 pre-amp
• Bryston BDP-2 media player
• Bryston BDA-2 external DAC
• Bryston 28B SST2 power amp
• Bryston 4B SST2 power amp
• Bryston 3B SST2 power amp•
• Bryston Model T Signature speakers
• Bryston T-PX-1 crossovers
• Bryston TC1 centre speaker
• Bryston Mini T speakers
• Bryston TSUB sub-woofers
• Bryston BIT 16 INTL power conditioner
• AudiophileBase StarBase Framework and platforms
• Finite Elemente racks
• All cabling (except HDMI and some power cords) from WyWires.

Ain’t that IMPRESSIVE???

Bryston At KL Audio Show in Malaysia

Now, the excitement from the first listening session on Friday was not enough. I really need to experience the whole home cinema she-bang for a longer period and also with proper high quality demo disc. So, I made a point to have James Tan show me what this whole set up can really do.

Drum Solo pic.jpg

Annnnddd show me he did.....It was relatively effortless for the Bryston speakers to deliver complex sound with such detail and crispiness....with the right amount of low end reproduction. Have a look and listen at the sample below. The drums video.. I can even hear the wires beneath the snare vibrating and also the kick drums sounded really controlled and sharp. The dispersion of high freq notes from the ride and crash cymbals was very precise and detail plus it did not produce an ear hurting high pitch noise.

Now, I really would want to make my dream of having a projector and screen set up a reality...but the Bryston speakers just keep on calling me to test them with my MF set up. Will it replace my ProAc D18? Maybe ....

Hi Folks,

Just recieved a review this morning on the Bryston "mini t'" speakers from Secrets of Home Theater Magazine - its a stunner - should be live in a week or so.

Last line:

" I really had to stretch to find a fault with the speakers. A refreshing change!

This is the first round of speakers for Bryston and given the excellent sound quality I would be surprised to hear it was their last."

Just found out that Bryston is giving these speakers the same 20yr warranty you give to their analog products. That is unmatched (as far as I know) in the loudspeaker industry.

It's policies like this that make me love Bryston more and more every day. You build them right and you support them as well.

Continued success!

James,

So the Mini T's ran for the weekend non-stop.

I guess the best way to get this across is that they sound DYNAMIC and much bigger than their size would lead you to believe. The attack in Nile Lofgren "Keith Don't Go" The guitar attacks are crisp, clean yet not fatiguing.

Pretty amazing speakers, (Too bad that name was already taken).

Thank you

Subject: So Fnnnn Unhappy !

This is really not a good thing… MODEL T’s

I had a very short listening session this past Friday afternoon, in a less than ideal room, with a non-perfect system setup and in a very, very short amount of time , I was totally dismayed, unhappy, and became unhinged at how Fnnnn bad my personal system is, in comparison, and I have what many people would say is a top-shelf audiophile system !

If I had to use one adjective…just one, it was a ‘visceral’ experience.

Just as a warm up, not nearly for an audiophile recording evaluation, but just to hear music, I put in a DVD of Ben Harper, Live at the Hollywood Bowl. The kick drum almost knocked me out of the couch …and I don’t mean it was 10dB hotter than the mix, or somehow a dull, non musical note, I mean you could feel the skin of the instrument…hear the note and feel it. I was intrigued, the hook was set, and I was curious if I would get reeled in.

Next up, DTS Demo disk 2006, Robots; Ok fun, but nothing to sway me either way…too much studio work for my taste. Peter Gabriel with Salsbury Hill was…WOW !, then Fantastic Four which when he landed on the bridge, was more than a thud, it was impact with a tone. The Transporter with the Surface to Surface missiles whistling through the air was eerie, in that it was so life like. The explosions that
followed at about a 93dB level said to me that these speakers DID go down very smoothly to below 80 Hz. Hmm, a dedicated subwoofer built in ? Sure sounded & felt like it, and at a very high SPL! Back to music; Omar Hakim… The skin of the drums was taught, and realistic sounding…and not in your face, and the cymbal work was almost reserved in that is wasn’t piercing in any way, and you could discern the wood of the stick hitting the different points of the head. Mighty impressive.

Next; The Eagles, Life in the fast lane…Wow, the line is getting shorter, no slack now, almost have me in the boat. Seriously a fantastic reproducer of rock…Loud, deep, wide, and zero strain. An interesting change up, was a track from DTS Demo 7, that I have heard at least 25 times…Minority Report; All I can say is that when the first oversized plastic barrel hit the warehouse floor and bounced, it sounded EXACTLY like plastic does when it deforms! Behind Enemy lines, a great delineation test for woofers was no exception here…But what is so fnnn annoying is that these speakers held up to, and easily surpassed
my $16K reference towers in use now. ) *Argggughhh&!#%*&#)!!!!(*&*(+)(#!!!*

Fast & Furious was almost painful as we were in the 105dB range now & the vocals, the engines, the shotgun were all crystal clear. Only so much you can take of these rice rockets. So I went to Buddy Rich Live, on Keep the Customer Satisfied, Groovin Hard.. SO MUSICAL, so CLEAN, so DEEP it was shocking, really…Shocking. A quick flip to the king of Bop…Horace Silver on the Hardbop , Grandpop and these speakers really showed they can handle Fast, articulate, serious music…accurately. Then went to a DTD HD track of Jeff Beck…and you really got a sense of the ability of the speakers. I think I am being pulled over the edge! The DOORS, When You’re Strange, just sounded great, but when I switched to Classical to see if these really handle It all, I was floored…literally…with a movement that covered all 7 octaves, I just couldn’t understand how the speaker had this kind of output.

Well it was a Friday night, and I had to head back to the City to hear a live gig, my Nephew had to go home, and the lucky owner of these new transducers was in heaven. Next up…connecting the D/AC!

Bryston Model T Speakers with Bryston 14B SST2 Amplifier

Hi James,

I wanted to have a pair of Model T speakers since I listen to them at the Montreal Audio show this year, was very impressed by them.

Listen to them later at my dealer in a room similar size as mine. Replaced my one year old speakers (worth $10,000) with the Model T’s, have been listening to them for not much more than about two to three hours now and can attest everything that have been said about them to be true. I really like the external crossover also, it gave them a very special looks.


I really enjoy the power of the 14B and find it to be a very musical amp. It replaces my 4B ST which sometimes get the clipping light on but with the 14B have not clipped it yet. Very satisfied with the upgrade. The 14B is now powering a pair of Model T Signature just received a few days ago and just have the chance to listen to them briefly and so far this is the best sound that I have in my listening room, will probably be my last pair of speakers (in fact this is my 7th pair since 2000 ($3000 to 10000) always driven with Bryston electronics) These speakers are very warm, dynamics and play beautifully when pushed loud, in fact it is a real pleasure listening to them at 12 even 1 o’clock position on my preamp (BP26). Really enjoy them so far.

Thank you James for a wonderful pair of speakers.

Hi Brian,

I've spent a lot of the weekend enjoying the new speakers as I've been working around the house. I'd classify them as a refined kick ass rock n' roll speaker! These were definitely made for me.

I wanted a big slim tower, given my space requirements and these fit excellent. Any bigger would be a bit much, but smaller would be insignificant. I find with most slim tower designs these days you need an additional sub to compensate for lack of bass. So for the most part you might as well use bookshelves with a sub which defeats the purpose of a tower in my opinion. These remind me a lot of my PSB Synchrony one's, in that they share titanium tweeters, which I love, as they aren’t too bright or dull. I had Paradigm S8's, but that beryllium tweeter almost made my ears bleed. Some times very pleasantly revealing, but for the most part far too much so. The Synchrony one's bass is outstanding for their size, and the mid range is very refined, but the speaker sounded somewhat strained at high volumes. Given the size of that speaker I think it's phenomenal, and yet I wanted more. These are it...... bigger, more bass, and a bit more lively....very pleased!

The packing job of these speakers was absolutely outstanding! I was really struck by the care and thought that went into the packaging, and the cloth bag is a very nice touch indeed. I'm currently running them with an Anthem 225, I know the speakers can handle a lot more power, so I want to bring them to life more so. I'll be looking at some Bryston gear for that, but I know your high end stuff gets very pricey, but apparently well worth it.

I can tell you've got a good crew with you, I was very impressed with the way my emails were answered and the care that was taken. I can see how shipping direct can be a real pain for you. The company really shouldn't have to go to the length it did for one transaction, but very much appreciate the fact you did! Too bad I couldn't just walk into a store here and by some Bryston gear, that it 'd be better for you and me, but unfortunately Thunder Bay doesn't have a Bryston dealer. Marc Hallam in Ottawa is always great to deal with, so If I have to buy outside of the city, I usually look him up.

Thank you Sir, for a wonderful transaction, and a great pair of speakers!

SUBJECT: Bryston mini t Review – ‘sneak peak’

August 2013

Hi Folks,

Excellent review on the Bryston mini t speaker coming soon in the September/October issue of the French Magazine Son & Image – below is a sneak peak of the conclusion:

“VERDICT – BRYSTON ‘Mini T’ Loudspeaker:

It is useless to try to describe the sound of these Bryston Mini T loudspeakers, as they are perfectly comfortable no matter what type of music we choose to listen too.

It is instructive though to examine our reactions to the music the Mini T deliver to us. Where do these speakers take us? What do they tell us about the artists that we thought we knew well? The music that we thought we understood? The talents of the Mini T provide this level of performance. Call it musical clarity, insight, and good design. Regardless, if this is the fundamental nature of all the speakers in the Bryston Model T series. This bodes well for the rest of the Bryston speaker range.

The Mini T’s introduce you to another musical vision, a vision on a huge soundstage where the image perfectly plays its role in the transmission of the message and the musical emotion.

Congratulations to James Tanner for his vision of music and congratulations to Bryston to be believed.

A benchmark in its class, the Mini T is easily comparable to speakers worth two or even three times the asking price.

Subject: Hearing Ghosts

Hi Chris and James: I simply had to send you another note on my ongoing use of the Model T.

Listening mostly to Internet radio (The Jazz Groove, 128 kbs), this struck me, once again, and more powerfully than ever. The difference between these speakers and any I have heard before is "presence."

I'm listening to John Coltrane right now, and even with a degraded signal, I just can't help feeling he's in the room. I'm forced to look, to check - something like seeing, or this case hearing, a ghost, and I have to do a double take, to look up, and to quickly reestablish the line between reality and imagination.

The T, especially for me with so many of my favourite jazz artists now deceased, manages not simply to make recorded come alive, it has a way to raise the dead.

In short, the T is so good, it is downright scary.

“This is an update to my initial impressions of the Bryston Model T full range loudspeakers.

Now I listen to a LOT of music typically with my system I was averaging maybe 4 hours a day, being a daytrader I have this luxury. Now it's closer to 8 hours and a large portion has been looking for faults because there's no way a $6500 speaker can or should be this good. I've had $30,000 speakers where their shortcomings always revealed themselves to me within a week and sometimes a far shorter period of time than that.

The Brystons do not really do anything wrong now mind you they should for this price but I'll be damned if I can find it. What I can hear are things that no other speakers do.

At first I thought that perhaps they were not quite as transparent as some other speakers but with lots of listening I realized that everything that is on the recording IS there it's just that nothing is thrown in your face or stands out from any other region and that my friends is what live music sounds like. At an acoustic concert one does not comment on how incredible the mids are or how defined the highs are it's just an organic, holographic whole and this is how the Model T’s present music.

These are trend setters, benchmarks that future speakers will be compared to but the speakers being compared to the Brystons will be more expensive, much more expensive.”

SUBJECT: Bryston Model T Speaker Opinion

“This is NOT a Sales Pitch !

(Just a personal Observation that I want to share)

Not many people have had the opportunity to audition the BRYSTON speakers. I did, so as this is just my opinion, obviously, it is up to you if you want to or care to read this. I’ll be very short;

Room: HORRIBLE! Absolutely just about the worst acoustic situation you could find; Almost a corner load of one speaker, stairwell & door inches from the other, very wide opening at the back, side of the room. No treatments.

Equipment: BRYSTON Mono-blocks 7B-SST2, BRYSTON BDA-2 DAC, a Denon receiver as the Pre, Audioquest cables, BRYSTON Model T Signature Speakers (custom walnut) *(the homeowner just purchased the BRYSTON SP-3, but didn’t install it yet).

Having owned most of the [must-have] speakers, I currently own B&W 802, GENELEC 8030, KEF sub, JAMES LOUDSPEAKER (various models), and while not actively playing anymore, as a former Alto player, and growing up going to all types of live music events, I think my ears are [pretty good]!

The Model T Speakers without question have the best bass I think I have ever heard on a full range loudspeaker, reproducing deep bass accurately, not thudding or w/o musical tone, not distorted, and not bloated. I just listed to “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, and the hairs on my arms stood up! The Mid-range was shockingly accurate and revealing. When the drum is whacked, you can almost feel the skin on the drum head and the wood stick hitting it. Like LIVE music! The reproduction of the instruments was so accurate you could almost think you were there.

The drivers are demonstrating a properly crossed over matched set, but technical mumbo-jumbo aside…were just seamless & absolutely musical. I listened to classical, lots of classical jazz, rock, and dare I admit, old-school rap. Nothing, but nothing we played seemed to ever cause a ruffle in the reproduction. I have heard some very impressive speakers over the past 20 years, with 2 that stood out within the past 5 or 6, but none, not a single one, seemed to accurately reproduce 7 octaves…until now.

The MODEL T is so underpriced…that if this was 2004, we would need to build a new factory just to keep up with demand. A CULT model in its infancy!

Again, just my opinion!

SUBJECT: Report From The Speaker Trenches – Bryston Model T


The Model T's have to be one of my favorite speakers!

They're by far the best speaker at there price point IMO. As for what types of music I listen to I really listen to everything. I've played everything from The Eagles, Bruno Mars, AC/DC, Guns n Roses, & I can go on. In regards to listening impressions, the speakers create a really dynamic soundstage. They can effortlessly reproduce any music you throw at them. I'm also using Krell as you can see from my signature. I'm very happy with the synergy between Krell and Bryston.

The Model T's really do have everything you could want from a speaker. They have the ability to produce amazing bass and general "loudness" without having to use high power amplifiers. The clarity and accuracy of the mid's and tweeters is phenomenal.

You will not find another speaker at this price point that can do what the Bryston Model T's do!

Hi Folks,

Sneak peak of Absolute Sound Magazine review of the Bryston ‘mini t’ loudspeaker in the upcoming December issue . One of the main advantages of the Model T series speakers is their ability to provide flat frequency response into real listening rooms due to their excellent power response. I thought the below comment from the reviewer was apropos.

“James was certainly not surprised when I informed him that the Mini T’s produced the flattest frequency response (32Hz–10kHz +/- 2.7dB) I have yet observed in my listening room!”

[Mike]

James - I look forward to hearing these at RMAF.

[Hiker]

One of the main advantages of the Model T series speakers is their ability to provide flat frequency response into real listening rooms due to their excellent power response.

James, what do you mean by excellent power response?

[James Tanner - Bryston]

Hi

The power response or SOUND POWER is a measurement of all the energy radiated into the room not just the on-axis response which is what you see in most speaker reviews.

When you listen to a speaker in a room you are never listening to the on axis response - you are listening to the direct sound from the speaker plus all the radiated energy in the room mixed together. So we have done over 400 measurements in our anechoic chamber - both vertically and horizontally around the speaker to make sure that the Sound Power is equal everywhere.

There is a lot more to it than that but it is the basic idea that Sound Power is really what we hear in an room and the relationship between the on axis frequency response and the Sound Power response is critical.

Hope this helps.

james

Got it. Thanks.

“James

The Model T’s are just fantastic!

The sense of realism and presence they convey is uncanny. Kudos to you and your design team for building such a great speaker.

My wife (a pianist and professional French horn player) was equally impressed, and she’s quite discriminating in her musical tastes. “They’re so full and rich”, she said several times (and she should know full and rich having been a member of several orchestras across Canada). I’m impressed with the way they resolve cymbals – it really sounds like a wooden stick hitting a tempered metal disc. The “bite” of the reed on saxophones, and the initial pluck of guitar strings (both electric and acoustic) is also incredibly life-like. On drums, I get a real sense of a taught membrane being struck; the tone of the drumhead really comes through.

I haven’t given them a true run-through with piano, but so far they’re very faithful to the instrument (we have a baby grand, so I know what they sound like). I’ll let you know more of my impressions after further listening.

Once again, thanks for the awesome (there’s that word again) product”

Hi Folks,

I have had time finally to completely read the above review on the Mini T from Absolute Sound Magazine in totality and I must say it is superb.

It really nails the concept we were trying to achieve in our speakers of flat in room frequency response, huge dynamic capability without dynamic compression and excellent sound power and expansive listening window.

I think Mini T owners will be very, very pleased with the reviewers thoughts and opinions.

[James Tanner - Bryston]

Hi

He is mistaken on that issue as the anechoic responses show identical frequency response and sound power at 60/70/80/90 and 100 dB. I think most people are not use to a speaker with this low a distortion spectrum so they assume they have to turn it louder to get the dynamics.

Hi Robert

Yes I spent about 2 years trying different drivers and cabinets etc. and finally arrived at what you hear now.

I think I have owned every speaker there is to own over the many decades I have been doing this and I really knew what I wanted the speaker to have - huge dispersion and no dynamic compression at a state of the art level but at prices mere mortals could afford!.

Customer Response Bryston Middle T Speakers

Hi Folks;

I had some concerns about my 3B clipping occasionally into my new Bryston Middle T speakers at high volumes:

I received an e-mail from James Tanner of Bryston and he said so long as the clipping was occasional there was nothing to worry about but if it was clipping "with the beat" I need more power.

He was also of the opinion that the very, very low distortion of the middle T allows you to turn them up louder than normal without realizing how loud they really are.

Power concerns aside, these are excellent speakers, and I'm very impressed with Bryston's personal touch.

Class acts all the way.

He mentions how the mid-range drivers are enclosed in a special chamber to prevent distortion caused from the back pressure of the woofers. However, he doesn't mention how this back pressure is prevented from 'bleeding' back through the diaphragms of the woofers?

Hi Hiker

I hope I am understanding the question properly.

The driver diaphragms themselves are completely non-porous so there is no leaking.

Also, the rest of the enclosure is left specifically for the woofers. The woofers are designed to cooperate with volume of the enclosure and the tuned ports in order to properly function as a bass reflex design.

James, I may be wrong about my understanding of how a bass reflex speaker design works relative to the standing waves inside the cabinet caused by the back-radiation of the woofer(s). I thought these back-wave reflections created pressure inside the cabinet that can cause some of the back-waves to re-radiate through the diaphragm(s). If Bryston speakers do not experience this re-ratiation issue then this is a positive.

Hi Folks,

We showed an new INWALL/ONWALL series of Bryston speakers at the recent CEDIA and Toronto Audio shows and a number of people have asked for more details.

Please find a preliminary PDF Brochure attached

"Someone stop him!"

Seriously, I am so excited for the new products. It makes it easier for what I do to offer an all-in-one product company for all my clients because there is no better deal in audio than Bryston, both price and sonically. But rest my friend...rest!

By the way, I have an appointment to take our Bryston Minis to Jade Entertainment in downtown Mobile, AL. The owner is a great guy and a life long friend. I will be setting them up in one of his main studios as monitors. So, my next question is, with the creation of all of these new products, have you considered a powered set of Minis, or similar, for the professional use in studio recording as studio monitors? I look forward to your reply. I will also report back with pics and comments from the recording engineers.

Take care from your Southern Bryston Bro,
Robert Meeks
