Hi James,
any sign from Mafico yet? october 1st Vat rises again this side....

Marius

Hi

I assume Mafico would be interested as they do not distribute a speaker as far as I know.

Hi Marius

I will check but the first 40 pairs are pre-sold in North America so I do not think our export manager has assigned any overseas sales yet.

Ill ask Mafico, what their plans are.

Hi James,

What sort of amplification would one need to drive the active version of the model T?

Would a BHA1 do the trick by any chance? 

Could be a naive idea, but would complement my lineup quite nicely.
Always wanted to try active speakers.
Heard some active ATC's that were stunning.

Cheers,
Bob

Hi Bob,

The active speakers require SIX CHANNELS of amplification plus the Bryston AX-1 electronic crossover.  The BHA could act as the Preamp.

james

[bobNL]

Naive indeed!

Hello James,

Are the Bryston subwoofer' cabinets with port or sealed-box design.  Any detailed spec/measurements you can disclose?
How much is their MSRP?

Thank you,
Klao

Still working on it but I think there will be 2 versions - one with a built in 600 watt amplifier and phase, crossover adjustments etc.  and one Passive with the idea of driving it with one of our current Bryston amps.

I am investigating the sealed vs ported as well.  I am also thinking of going to 4 eight inch woofers instead of 3.

james

[vegasdave]

Yes, go with more woofers.

Hi Folks,

Here is a nice shot of the Mini t's and the prototype powered sub from the Toronto Show:





james

[drummermitchell]

Bryston subs,probably will be built to LAST(unlike some others I have had).
I would assume they would have a hefty warranty also,thinking Thiel 10 yr.type warranty ,course with a passive sub with a 7B-sst2 and Bryston outboard X-over,NO WORRIES,I like it .

[klao]

I'd prefer to have a pair of two subs with just 2 drivers each, instead of a very tall one with 4 drivers.

Something similar to the Axiom EP 800 would do quite well, aesthetically.   

BTW, if the sub has its own crossover, please make the cut point as low as 30Hz, not just 40Hz.  Thanks.

  James ,are the mini's stands available as well from Bryston?

  James ,are the mini's stands available as well from Bryston?

Yes - not sure on price yet.

james

[rmurray]

  Regarding the stands; what will they made from and would they be mass loadable (tubes)?

[patrickm]

The stands seem to be similar to these: http://www.axiomaudio.com/fms-qs-full-metal-stand.html [which would be fantastic because those are great!]

Yes they are the same except the top fits the bottom of the speaker.

Hi James,

It was good to see you at the show, and I was delighted to hear the fruits of your collaboration with AXIOM, pretty much the best sound that I heard in any of the TAVES rooms.

The frequency balance, bass extension, and dynamic capability are superb on first listening, very akin to what I heard when I went home to my own Veritas/ads hybrids that I've developed over the past year or so.

CONGRATULATIONS!

I think you've gone somewhat beyond the best AXIOM designs that I've heard to date, so CONGRATULATIONS!

Andrew - Some kind words and feedback on Bryston's new speaker project.  I too some day would like to attend a demo and hear first hand their virtues.

You say these go beyond the best Axiom has to offer...were you able to "kick the tires" on Axioms new product, the LRF1100?   These are Axiom's  recently-released omnidirection floorstanders that include a 4-channel, balanced DSP with each speaker.   I'm thinking this could be a rather interesting "face off" when one has the chance.

[James Tanner]

The 1100 is an excellent speaker    I have heard them many times.
