“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. :D

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.

Hi James,

I am planning on having this published before Nov 1, will keep you updated as I progress. My intentions are to review the system as a whole (BP17 preamp - 28B-SST2 Mono Amps - Mini T speakers),

“Any advice on how to convince my wife and banker that we should re-mortage my house so I can keep this system?”
 
Overall a positive review for the Mini T. He did mention issues at lower listening levels which is important to me and why up until this point I have favored transmission line speakers.
 
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 James

I heard the Model T at HiFi Centre the other day. They had them running on a new 4B a 26B pre amp and a Linn cd player with a digital out to your BDA-2 DAC

Pure Magic !!!

I plan to buy a new pair from that HiFi Center before the years end. What an amazing pair of speakers. I don't understand how a company that doesn't make speakers hits a home run like this on the first go around.

Were you involved in the design?”



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.

Hi James

I heard the Model T the other day At Whitby Audio...Dan demoed them for me.

My god they are outstanding.

You must be so very proud, James.

I have been swayed away from Bryston in the past but that will never happen again.

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.
 
LOL

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
