MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston Demo - Toronto Audio Show
November 2016
One of the first rooms I visited was home to Bryston, the great Canadian manufacturer of high-end audio products and accessories.
Taking a larger room than last year, the system had adequate room to breathe, while leaving space for fans to congregate.
James Tanner was seated in front of a system that obviously sported something new.
Though the speakers were the now familiar Bryston Model T Signatures, the usual external crossovers weren’t being used; rather, Bryston’s all-new BAX-1 active DSP external electronic crossover) was in play, paired to the new Cubed series amplifiers. A pair of 3B3 amplifiers were driving the highs and mids, with a pair of 7B3 driving the bass drivers. Their BP26 preamplifier with MPS-2 power supply was in control with a BDP-2 digital player and BDA-3 DAC serving as the source.
The active system sounded clearer, more detailed and more open than I’ve heard the Model T perform in past.
