MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston Model T’s – Now in the UK!
June 2015
“James - it's now a few months since I took delivery of my Model T's, and I thought I'd give you some feedback on how I've got on. I know it's been a while, but I wanted to give myself some time to live with the new speakers, see how they affected me.
My overall summary is that the speakers have completely changed the way I am listening to music,
because I feel much more like I am listening to singers/band/orchestras/etc. rather than to CD's (albeit via a great transport and DAC). At first I found this quite overwhelming - the ability of the speakers to deliver a 'real world' experience took me by surprise and stopped me listening as passively as I once did. I feel much more involved in the music I'm listening to. I've always listened at reasonable volumes (I have an understanding family!) and whereas previously I could do so and get on with other activities, now I'm finding I want to stop and just enjoy the music even more than I did before. It's a wonderful thing, but initially was quite distracting - in a good way. Since then I've learnt how to manage that balance. Background listening happens at a much lower volume - the speakers still sound great when quiet - but at those volumes I can just about resist the allure!
However when I really want to listen I am continually grinning at how good stuff sounds - not least that control and extension down at the bass end. It's a great feeling!
Before I'd first heard the model T's in the US I'd read a lot about how they sounded like much more expensive speakers (the sort of stuff way out of my price league). Because I had to import them to the UK personally (I gather I was the first UK purchaser) then the cost went up a bit more, but I still feel I have bought a pair speakers that offer tremendous value for money.
Above all else though I have speakers that make my enjoyment of music even better than it was before (and that took some doing!). As such I want to thank you for your passion and commitment to getting the model T's made, and for personally helping me in getting them over here to the UK.”
Very best regards
John
