Glad you like the finishes. Are you ordering a pair of speakers? If so the Brazilian is going fast

Curious to know what you Bryston Mini T and Middle T owners are using for amplification and what you like/dislike about the pairing.

When does a $2700 dollar speaker sound like a $12,000 speaker ???

This is our first professional review of the Bryston Model A2 loudspeaker … and when a seasoned reviewer purchases the speaker for his reference system it speaks volumes.

How would you make a comparison between the A2 and the Mini T?

They are almost exactly the same price, and the A2 only very slightly edges out the Mini T in specs:

Sensitivity:  87dB  vs  86dB
Frequency Response:  31Hz - 20KHz  vs  38Hz - 20KHz  (+/- 3dB)
Max SPL:  114dB  vs  112dB

Hi Steve

The T Series speakers are based on 8 inch woofers whereas the A Series is based on 6.5 inch woofers.  The Mids and the Tweets in the T and A Series are identical. The T Series has more bracing and thicker cabinet construction than the A Series.  So the T Series will play at higher levels with less distortion than the A Series generally.

That being said the Mini T vs the A2 is a good question.  The A2 has 2 Mids and 2 Tweeters (some do not like the concept of the two tweeter arrangement).  So through that mid/tweeter range the A2 can play at higher levels with less distortion than the Mini T.  The A2 has two 6.5 inch woofers which equal an 8 inch like in the Mini T.  So other than the more substantial cabinet build on the Mini T it would be a close call.  I think the decision would be Tower vs Mini on a stand based on room size and levels you want to play at. Also remember that where the bass drivers are located in a speaker will pressurize the room differently - so the Mini T on a stand places the woofer at a different location in the room as opposed to the A2 which has 2 lower placed woofers at the floor level. Also based on the height of the stand you have with the Mini T you can adjust the height of the soundstage.

Hi Beatlebum

Well I'm using Bryston - 

But the impedance curve on the Bryston speakers is very benign so it is not a major issue when choosing an amplifier.  I have had reviewers and customers use everything from 12 watt Tube integrated amplifiers  to 28B 1000 watt Mono amps.

Hi James.

This is Kevin from Glubes AVU.

Just a quick note to say how impressed I am with the Middle T and the A3. Planning on expanding our line up.

I must admit that I never gave them a fair listen, amongst the sea of great products from Monitor Audio, PSB, and B&W....

I must say that the Bryston products represents incredible value. Keep up the great work?

I have been enjoying my Middle T's for months but wanted to provide a review after I upgraded my gear to all Bryston, as expected it has made a significant improvement.  I decided to add your BP26DA, matching power supply and 4BSST.  I'm presently waiting for my BIT20 and your BDP-2 in a few weeks, that review will follow at a later date.



James you know me well and what I have wanted to achieve. As a custom system designer who has been in the business for years, I have access to many hi performance products. Budget was not a factor rather exceptional performance at a price that I felt was a win / win.

I'm a music lover first and foremost who simply wants to enjoy my music and not be distracted by the gear for one reason or another. Yes there is a time for clinical listening but once the equipment has been chosen then the artists music takes precedence for me. Bryston allows this to happen - well done!

In my opinion, one of the most relaxing and healthy things we can do for ourselves is listen to music. Having an artist take me away from the hustle and bustle of business for short periods so that I can relax and recharge is greatly appreciated.

I'm going to skip all the technical talk and nuances and say your Middle T speakers and matching Bryston equipment have done just that in a commendable manner, a wonderful combination, they have a very special ability to play music as it was meant to be heard. Regardless of what I play… all genres of music are presented with  a natural, none fatiguing accuracy.

Music is fun to listen to again and very relaxing - I truly look forward to my music listening sessions. Thank you James, Jim and to all your team at Bryston!

Sincerely,

Favorite Quotes:

•   “The Bryston Middle T has a lot going for it. It’s an unquestionable value: a big, three-way speaker that will flat-out rock without losing its audiophile street cred. That’s a tough balancing act, but the Middle T handles it well.”

•   “Ultimately, the Bryston Middle T is an easy recommendation -- not for a particular type of listener, but for almost everyone.”

Hi Folks,

One of the objectives in the development of the Bryston speaker range was to provide the opportunity to assemble a complete Bryston audio system.

“James

I have had my Bryston Mini A’s now for a few weeks and after some break-in time, I am happy to report that the sound is nothing short of incredible.

I replaced a pair of (EDIT) which were significantly more expensive and I would have to say that the Mini A’s are a clear step up in performance.  The real low bass that comes out of these dinky little boxes is at times just amazing. Dynamics are stellar and imaging as well - I can’t wait to hear the Mini T’s in our showroom!

Whoever is responsible for the design of your loudspeakers knows their stuff and has a damn good ear (by my humble estimation). 
Thanks again for the sweet deal.

When I recover from the expense, I might hit you up for a deal on a DAC and eventually an integrated amp.

Awesome. I can stop by and see David at Pulsworks and give them a listen.

Awesome. I can stop by and see David at Pulsworks and give them a listen.

I can give you a demo as well I live in Tune Town and have the Model T Passives. But be warned my place is a mess and I listen at 92+ decibels. Hope you like Hard Rock.

[James Tanner]

Hi James,

Very nice set up there James in Munich.

Those Mini T's... tell ya can't praise them enough!

Had a friend at my place last week and he was shocked and awed how they performed. Lol,I should have pictured his O face when The Duke Ellington big band Brass's line kicked in propelled on 4BSST2/BP6 12:00 o'clock..creating an amazing stadium size stage and dynamics - ha rare moments...made my day.

Are this one of the new Target line stands? Waiting for the MR 24" for my newest second Pair of Mini T's.

Well, I did it! I have a pair of Model T (passives) on order with a matching center channel in the custom Rosewood finish. Needless to say I'm super excited and will report back when they arrive and have had some good run in time.

AND pictures when they arrive!

Hi Scirica

Put the order in for you today - they tell me about 3 weeks.  Congrates - you will love these speakers and after looking at your room they should throw a terrific soundstage for you.
