Great article! I had the opportunity to audition the Model T passives last week and must say all of David's accolades as well as the many other reviews and postings I found to be true so I won't repeat them here. If that's not enough the T's were standing right next to a pair of Revel Ultima Salon 2's. I was able to A/B them point blank. The Salons are a wonderful speaker and quite a piece of audio bling to be sure. Although they do some things better, the T's more than hold their own in all categories at 40% the price of the Salons. Their build quality is excellent and the standard Boston Cherry wood finish is beautiful. Standing next to the Salons did not diminish either.
My short list to replace the Infinity 9 Kappas are the above two, Marten Django XL, ML Summit X or Montis and Acoustic Zen Crescendo. I am now leaning heavily toward the T's. That being said David commented near the end of his article that the Model T Signatures are the best sounding Bryston Speaker currently. This begs the question for me as to what sound improvements the outboard X over makes over the passives. I don't see ever going to the active upgrade so my decision as to whether to go with the passives or Signatures would be strictly sound quality.
If anyone can shed some light on this I sure would appreciate it. I know it's been discussed before early on but I'm thinking by now more people have been able to compare the two.
