Blown Away by Bryston Mini T's

I heard the Bryston Mini T's today. I was skeptical of the reviews I have read of late of their performance. I take most reviews with a grain of salt anyways.

After listening for two hours plus I was blown away.

They seem to handle every genre of music with ease. The scary thing was the pair I was listening to weren't even broke in.

I associate bookshelf speakers with weak bass but great detail. These actually had bass. If you get a chance go audition them.

You'll be very surprised by these speakers.

Hi James,

I was unpacking my new Model T speakers and got called into work, so I only had chance to play a couple of CD's, however I am really impressed, I think Mark Knopfler is in my basement : ) this is with my cheapo \ temporary speaker cable.

You must be thrilled with the feedback they are receiving, particularly being your first speaker!

Regards
Paul

SUBJECT: Montreal Audio Show – Enjoy the Music Comments

Bryston had sent out a press release and renewed my interest in the speakers they introduced at the TAVES show in Toronto last September. I was really looking forward to spending more time with them in Montreal. As I descended the elevator to the larger rooms on the lower level I caught a glimpse of James Tanner out of the corner of my bad eye. I turned left toward the rooms I had known from previous years. Guess I've become a creature of habit, thought the people at Bryston will probably think of me as just a creature. Upon return home, Tom mentioned that it was his favorite room at the show, so I asked him to write a paragraph for me. He gets to hear most everything I review so I know from our conversations he has a good ear. He wrote:

“Bryston was featuring their new Model T Signature floor-standing speaker, part of a new line of Model T speakers. The standard Model T and the stand-mount Mini T were on silent display. The Model T Signature differs from the standard model by having the crossovers external to the speaker cabinet. The crossovers were in small boxes on the floor behind the speakers, and contain upgraded parts. The Model T Signatures cost $7500 with a vinyl wrapped finish, with wood veneer available for an extra $1000. The speakers were driven by a pair of Bryston 28B SST2 monoblocks, which are rated at 1000W per channel.

This system sounded exceptionally transparent and uncolored. The speakers seem to provide high value for the price.

Bryston was also demonstrating their BHA-1 headphone amplifier, which can drive balanced or unbalanced headphones. I tried this amp with my Denon AH-D5000 headphones, and it seemed to provide exceptionally deep and well-controlled bass.”

Hi James:

“I was at the Audio One Middle T demo last night! I don't post very often but this morning I am compelled to do so. This is Sam (you called me Joe a few times but that's OK!) - it was pleasure meeting you again last night.

"Sounded Superb" is bang on. I was really floored by these gems. Absolutely smooth as silk with a bass bottom to die for, the voices were sounding like the artists were in the room, and a smooth and clear top end and midrange.

A very well know brand of speakers that retail for $20,000 were in the next room, and these at one quarter the price were better - hands down! I didn't get a chance to hear the big brother Model T but I can imagine that they would be incredible.

And while I am writing....

For those of you who have never met James, what a real gentleman! He took the time to talk "audio" with me for about half an hour and I got a chance to understand the Bryston philosophy. This is a company that builds products to the best that technology offers and then sets a fair price to make a fair profit. This is unlike many other companies that sell inferior products at insane prices to cater to the "Audio Jewelry" crowd. If James and his engineers could build a better sounding product, they would.

The R&D that went into the speakers took 2 years of effort to develop custom drivers and cabinets and the results are sublime.

I came away realizing that I will never be sorry buying a Bryston product! The products are built with passion and HONESTY and I know that this company will stand behind it for a lifetime.

Congrats James!”

Sam

Hi James,

I just received my Middle Ts.

I am extremely impressed with their performance!

They have huge bass and power handling- to go along with excellent clarity without being bright.

I think you've completed the HAT TRICK now with Model T, Mini T and Middle T.

Congrats and THANKS - for doing such a fine job with your speaker family!

DEALER COMMENT – Smiths Custom Audio

Hi James

My god after teasing myself with the mini t and then having the crap kicked out of me by its BIG BROTHER Model T aka the ‘BIG T’…

I have finally given the Middle T a good listen and what a GREAT SPEAKER!

Can't say anything but WOW what a great speaker line up and the VALUE of all these speakers is absolutely superb...

Thanks James, and the whole Bryston Team you have made dreams come true once again.

P.S. - Take one pair of Model T's and some Bryston Power one Music Player and turn up Michael Jackson's "DIRTY DIANA" it has never sounded like this…. my pants were shaking …… AMAZING!

Hi Folks:

IMPORTANT:

Please be advised that going forward the Bryston Model T ‘Signature’ Speakers will only be available in real WOOD finishes (no vinyl)

The ‘Passive’ version of the Model T will continue to be available in both Vinyl or Wood finishes.

New Bryston mini t speaker review on the way - excerpt:

“Over the weeks that I spent with the Mini T’s, I did not find a single track or musical category that did not sound absolutely right.

During this review, these speakers continued to sound better and better!

Nice beginning, Bryston.”

Music Provides Joy

"Hi James

I just heard your Model T speakers at the Bryston dealer local to me - Audio Emporium near Milwaukee, WI.

They sounded really dynamic and did a great job recreating a big symphonic piece the dealer had queued-up.

Very "fast" speakers with a full low end.

I suspect these will only continue to grow in popularity as more people hear their sound.

Fantastic value!

Congrats and cheers."
