Thanks James.  I think the Middle Ts would fit my room better than the Ts.  Are the Middle Ts similar enough to the Ts that listening to the Ts would give me a good idea of how the Middle Ts would perform?

Hi Tony

I think so as the Bryston speakers all use the same drivers and design parameters with the difference being how much level is available without distortion. I did not want the Bryston speakers to be a better/best decision for our customers but one of 'Application differences' rather then 'Performance differences'. So all the speakers sound similar and matching the speaker to your room and listening levels is the primary concern.

SUBJECT: Bryston Middle T Review – Canada Hi-Fi


October, 2014

Please see the link below for another rave review on the Bryston Middle T loudspeakers by Canada Hi-Fi magazine.


http://canadahifi.com/bryston-middle-t-loudspeakers/

Favorite quotes:

“In terms of aesthetics, I think the Middle T is a good looking speaker, especially in the wood finishes – mine came in a Natural Cherry. The cabinet itself narrows as you move backwards from the faceplate, diffusing the sound waves within the speaker. I am primarily interested in a speakers drivers, and I wouldn’t spend extra money on a fancy cabinet unless it was stunningly gorgeous. I think Bryston has hit the cabinet price versus performance versus beauty ratio right on the head”.

“The speed at which bass from the Middle T’s can bloom and then disappear is astonishing. The bass capability made me laugh and shake my head in amazement.”
PS – I am pleased to announce that the reviewer purchased the speakers for his own system!

SUBJECT: Model T – Report from the Field.   


Hi Rock,
So, you've had the Bryston Model T’s for a few days now. Anything new to report?
Prepress


Hi, thanks for the query, but how to answer your question without gloating?

I continue to be very amazed by how these speakers represent the sound stage, how accurate they are in giving you that 'live' stage feeling. A couple of friends have mentioned, "it's like being there", which is certainly the feeling I get.

These speakers make me want to turn the volume up and they respond beautifully. This is something I rarely do because I like to relax and just enjoy ambient music. I could sit back and just listen all day. I feel little to no listener fatigue.

I have switched back to the 8 ohm taps from my 501's as James Tanner suggested, which I think is a better option.

Overall, I would say I have connected with this speakers more emotionally than I have with any other speaker, or any piece of equipment.

I don't want to boast these speakers, simply because I own them. However, I think anyone who is considering some speakers, and is looking for that feeling that makes you want to get up and dance... must, and I mean MUST audition these speakers... and at their price point.. ~$7500... you simply cannot lose.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Announcing the Model A ‘MICRO’ Center  Speaker


October, 2014

Hi Folks,

A number of dealers/distributors have asked us to provide a smaller Center channel speaker which would be more appropriate when combined with the Bryston Mini A Bookshelf speakers or the Bryston Model A3 floor standing speaker in a surround system.

Announcing the Bryston AC-1 ‘MICRO’ Center speaker.

 




The Bryston AC-1 Micro Center utilizes two 6.5 inch woofers and a single 1 inch dome tweeter which are identical to the drivers used throughout the A Series speakers.

Retail Price - $490.00

Hi Peter

Yes the speakers come with Rubber furniture feet and small spikes but they fit right below the speaker corners.  The XL outriggers are what I posted on the bottom of my speakers and are an extra.

james



James , what is the price of the outriggers and are they adjustable for other speakers?

They are about $600 for the pair list but only fit the Model T's and the Middle T's.

Hi James

Is this the first Soffit mounted Bryston sub?

James,

You may have answered this at some point but my search is coming up empty.  Are the six pairs of connector cables and two pairs of jumpers to connect a stereo amp (or two monos) to the Model T Signature included in the price?  Also, are the connector cables the same as the internal cabling used in the Model T Standard?  What is their length?

Thanks

Hi

No the cables are not included because some customers want to use their own cables rather then the Bryston speaker cable which is what we use. The internal wiring is different.

Here are some shots of the Signature crossover connected to the Model T Signatures:



Three kit cables coming out from the crossover to the rear of the speaker.



Three cables going into the Woofer/Mid/Tweeter on the rear of the Model T.



The bridging input to the crossover - all three inputs are bridged together so you only need one cable from your amp or you can pull the bridges and use 2 or 3 sets of cables from your amplifier.

Thanks James.  I wasn't expecting such a thorough response but you saved yourself 1,000 words with those pics :thumb:  Just a couple follow up questions:

Does Bryston sell a cabling kit for this?  What's the price of the kit?

I'm using WireWorld Silver Eclipse 6 speaker cables.  Is it OK or a bad idea to not match your main speaker cables on the output side of the crossover?  I wouldn't want to alter the characteristics of the WW cables.

Thanks,

Bill

Dear James,

Please see attached Mini -T review, which appeared in the Polish edition of the Audio Video magazine. Some sentences from the review below:

“The choice of a very strong, compression resistant woofer resulted in a very American sound, with a strong emphasis on power and extension, in which Mini T is one of the kind”.

“The sound class of these monitors is unquestionably high. It is expressed in the mids and trebles consistency and the overall homogeneity, resolution and a very high dynamics.

Another advantage of the Mini T is its soundstage. Well, instead of giving a short summary I’ve almost written a second review, but the Mini T is a really complex case. I strongly encourage you to spend some time on a private listening, especially if you like an "American-flesh sound", as well as small cars with big engines”.

Now we look forward to Mini A shipment, while the order for the Mini T will come shortly so please add MJ Audio Lab as a Bryston speakers distributor.

Best regards

Marcel

Hi Samurai

It is never easy to 'guarantee'  how a specific speaker will sound in a specific room but one of the main advantages of speakers like the Brystons,  where you have excellent on and off axis flat response (excellent sound power),  generally you can place larger speakers in a small room and not have the overload and tonal balance abnomalities that would occur in other kinds of speakers. 

This is one of my rooms 14 1/2 feet x 11 1/2 feet -  (upstairs bedroom - kids have left the roost) - and I have used all the Bryston models in this room - currently Model T Active.

Hi James why do you have 4 amps in this picture? What are the use and something else do you think biamping 2 4bsst2 is a good idea
