Hi Folks

We have about 20 pairs of Model T passive speakers out there now so should be able to provide some feedback for you soon.

Wow...I haven't been around in a while and looked what I missed  :)

James, what is the MSRP of these things with the real wood veneer upgrade?

Inner Ear Report .... Update!


Well, guys, I have the Model Ts playing in my listening room for a couple of days.

Don't know about the speakers, but I can tell you that Beethoven never sounded better, Jimmy Smith lives here as well. I drive them with 7B SST Squared monos and a Modwright preamp. A pair of very expensive speaker cables and interconnects serve as the wiring.

All that sounds — well, refined and expensive and not at all indicative of the Model T's rather reasonable price tag. Keep tuned . . .

James,

What are the real wood finishes available and have you made any yet (do not want to be the first and would like some pictures)?

It is running about 50/50 on orders for vinyl and real wood - we are just starting to release the real wood now and the speakers we had at the Toronto Show where in real wood.  I think it would be impossible to tell in a picture vinyl from real wood.

It's Monday so I am a little slow.  Are the 3 colours available in vinyl and real wood or is the Black Ash vinyl and the cherry real wood?

INNER EAR MAGAZINE - update>

Today is the 5th day of listening to Bryston's Model T loudspeakers.

They have been breaking in and getting better and better. What I am hearing resembles another pair of great loudspeakers — my own Ethera Vitaes.

Both designs have achieved a sonic see-through quality whereby the end result (the quality of music reproduction) depends greatly on the electronics used to drive the loudspeakers. I think that is great!

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: First Impressions on Bryston Model T Loudspeakers


First Impressions – Bryston Model T Speakers (Nov 2012)

With slightly over twenty-four hours of run-in time, the Bryston Model Ts have really impressed me in the following ways:

•   First - The full range capability is unmistakable!  The low frequency clarity and energy are quite remarkable. The model Ts allow me, for the first time, to experience very low frequency information on several of my favorite recordings. This is really substantial considering these speakers retail for $6,500 a pair in the USA.

•   Second - The clarity, openness, and airiness of the top octaves are exceptional. The listening room is filled with these qualities especially on well recorded material. This enables a much wider sweet spot than I have been accustom to.

•   Third - The upper bass and lower midrange fullness, punch, and clarity are very noteworthy. These aspects inject new life and vitality to the music.

•   Fourth - The overall frequency range exhibits great clarity and excellent focus. This compares favorably with the latest generation of popular panel speakers but with substantially lower frequency capability.

•   Fifth - The speaker placement has not been fussy to get great sound. I was able to get the model Ts making great music with the minimum of effort.

•   Sixth - Model T speakers easily compete with speakers costing considerable more.

•   Please note - Be sure to experiment with the provided isolation feet, spikes, and your favorite footers. You will be rewarded many times over with improved sound.

After full run-in is completed, I will report my follow-up listening results.

Great James,

Can't wait to hear them on our side of the pond! Any idea when that could be. Would buy them unseen and undemo'd but guess you would not approve of that...

Cheers Marius

I have been lucky enough to get a chance, to compare my Ib2i's, to the Model T's.   :D

Color is Boston Cherry. Only have about 10 hours on them.

I have to use my laptop into the SP3 for now, as I am waiting for my BDP-2.

James, what is a good break-in time, before some serious listening.
