That's great to hear. Besides the active speakers, will you also have the BHA-1 there with various headphones? Do people ever bring their headphones to try out (or are they even allowed to - show policy?)

They're all reading posts about format you-know-what from you-know-who and thinking the exact thing in their head.

I've been listening to Ella probably since before I was born.

My mom and dad were big Ella fans and Ella albums, along with Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck were musical staples from as early as I can remember and I can remember stuff from when I was 2 1/2.

I still listen to Ella.  Something magical happens, for me,  when you pair Ella with Louis Armstrong and they're singing Gershwin tunes.

Bryston's active set up was unbelievable if you turn it up yourself and sit down for a listen  :lol: .

Those Model Ts in active are not their passive siblings! I've only heard such ease and power from electrostatic speakers. But of course their set up offered far more dynamics and impact.

Very natural and wonderful sounding. Looks aside, this was the most sonically impressive system for me personally.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston Demo … TAVES 2017 … Stereophile




TAVES Audio Show 2017 – Bryston Active Demo



Bryston is going gangbusters with their active speakers.

The Model T Active setup at TAVES sounding smooth and dynamic as ever.

In addition to product introductions at TAVES included active versions of the Middle T and the Mini T.

They also introduced some new multichannel amps (ED: 21B three channel amp and 24B six channel amp for the Active systems) that represent a significant savings over the equivalent stereo amps.

Bryston also has some new subwoofers: the Model T sub and the Mini T sub.

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston Demo … TAVES 2017 … SIX 6 Moons






“Bryston had the Waxman 1 suite to showcase their incredibly large line of product.

Mr. Tanner, accompanied by his stalwart crew held court to show off their big $8'000/pr Canadian Model T flagships with their legendary electronics.

As always, the sheer build quality and sonic prowess showed real pedigree.

Even the single box all-in-wonder BW-1 amplified/wireless/DAC speaker was there for those with the taste but not the room.

Just don't tell those fine folks that heir products are way under-priced.”


Glen Wagenknecht,
SIX 6 MOONS.
