Toronto Audio Show (TAVES) 2014

That would be great Mike! Would be good to hear your highlights. Wondering if liberty trading is going to be there with vinyl. I've heard some rumours that they were closing up.

Good evening: I rarely post anymore but I felt this is a proper time to write.

I just came home after spending 9 hours at the Toronto TAVES show. I visited many, many rooms today. Some sounded good - others not so good. And which was my favorite room? The Bryston room - hands down. And this was at the end of the day!

The system that James has with the Model T's is really exceptional. Actually, quite incredible when you realize that the pristine sound emanating from the T's starts with a USB thumb drive as the digital medium. The sound is so smooth and natural - completely effortless and non-fatiguing. Dare I say tube-like without any tubes in sight!

James - this is Sam - your system is quite an accomplishment - congrats!!

And by the way: I was listening to the system in the sweet spot, and James was right next to me. He is a great guy to talk to; he answers questions with total honesty. Those of you who have met him know that he is one of the true "White Hats" of the industry.

This was a treat.
 
I think this is a compliment - but not sure???

The all Bryston room was well done too.

I'm wondering how much traction their speakers are getting.

The don't suck.
 
The Bryston Model with 28Bs (Edit 7B's) sounds always good to my ears.

I actually think his speakers are the best bargain in hi-end audio.

Anybody in the market for under $20K must listen the model T speakers .

Bryston can now present a complete system (lacking only a turntable).

The one being demoed featured the Model T Signature speakers the same as the system at the last Montreal show (EDIT – 7B’s used in Toronto instead of 28B’s).

The system had the same lively, dynamic sound and excellent imaging.

With their preamp and power amplifier models well established in the marketplace, Bryston has turned their attention to their digital products. The latest such product is the Bryston Optical Transport (BOT-1), which adds CD ripping and playback when connected to the Bryston Digital Player (BDP). "No Computer Necessary," says the product literature, which I think is great. Price hasn't been determined yet, but I'm told it's going to be less than $1000. I've included a pair of Grado headphones in the photo just to show how compact the BOT-1 is.

Next up the scale we hit the Bryston room.

Vast product lines on display. I had a fascinating chat with Vice President James Tanner about the historical progression of the firm from medical technology to highly respected consumer and professional high-end staple. These are legendary bulletproof electronics.Playing was the big Model T, a relatively inexpensive statement loudspeaker (by high end standards), built to Bryston’s specs by Axiom.

The Bryston combo played at levels soft to loud with tremendous dynamic range and true full frequency range. Quick, crisp and clear, these appeal to those who want their resolution and transparency with massive kick when called for.

Homegrown pedigree.

I went on the Saturday. I enjoyed a lot of what I heard.

The Bryston room was stunning again for the second year in a row.

The Model T is a serious "big bang" speaker that punches way above its price point.

I enjoyed sitting in the middle seat with James picking the music.

The T's sound fantastic: crisp, clear and full. I could have listened all day.
