Yes I have to say that it takes the performance up to the next level - everything improves - and with the GUI you can adjust the low bass between 120 and 20Hz to reduce the room issues.

I admit to having a lot of respect for the audio engineering embodied in Bryston's products.
As you will be able to tell from our review of the Bryston BCD-3 CD player in our August issue, they always measure superbly well, which in turn validates the test regime I have developed over the years.
(When I encountered a product that measures, shall I say. "idiosyncratically," I have to then spend many hours checking and double-checking, to make sure that something amiss hasn't crept into that regime.)
At LAAS, Bryson was showing active versions of the Middle T speakers that Kal Rubinson reviewed in February 2015, with the crossover realized in DSP BAX-1, , and amplification provided by one 3B3 200W stereo amplifier for the bass and two 2.5B3 135W stereo amplifiers for the midrange and treble. Source was a BDP-3 player feeding as BDA-3 D/A processor with a BP26 preamplifier with MPS-2 power supply. Racks and amp stands were all Target and cabling Straightwire Virtuoso and Bryston.
According to my notes the sound of this system in a rather small room was "big, open, easy."

LA Audio Show Report:
Loudspeakers - by Neil Gader
Auspicious Debuts
The Bryston Middle T goes active
Bryston demonstrated a tri-amped, fully active version of its three-way, four-driver, mid-sized floorstander, the Middle T.
Rather than housing active elements internally like most pro studio monitors, Bryston allows the end user to retain “have-it-your-way” control by adding external amplifiers, including, Bryston hopes, something along the lines of its own B3 Cubed series amps and the BAX-1 DSP Electronic Digital Crossover.
Listening to a selection of Nickel Creek alt-bluegrass, and some sax-driven jazz, I was reminded how often I gravitate towards active loudspeakers.
The immediacy and speed and bass control with slam is so persuasive that it just gets a little addicting.
It's SHOW TIME! Reviewers View of The Los Angeles Audio Show. What a fantastic show! Thanks to Marine Presson and Bob Levi and team from the Los Angeles Orange County Audio Society!
