MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston A2 Speaker Customer Feedback


August 2015

Hello James,

Just a note to let you know I purchased a pair of Bryston A2 loudspeakers recently.

The A2's are fabulous !

And certainly no need for a subwoofer!!  I've attached a couple of pictures.

I bought the Bryston A2's from Hi-Fi Centre in Vancouver. They were their demo models.

I had the (edit) speakers before. The A2s are miles better!

Cheers,
David

Hi James,

There is a mention about "port plugs" in the speaker documentation that can be used when the speakers are located near walls or corner to attenuate the bass responses...

How much would a pair of those cost ?

(For the "Mini T" if it matters)

Thanks!

Take care!

I would say about 30 hours.

James

I have about 45 hours on my middle T's now and seemingly they are still improving every day

HI

What do you find changes as they mature?

So far , mostly everything.  For me, most notably,  the top end becomes a little  more extended, smoother and airy and the mids are becoming a little more crisp.   Imaging seems to improve as well.   all of these were great to begin with, they just seem to be improving

It's interesting isn't it - as these are things that are not measured but certainly seem to change with time.  :scratch:

Definitely.   No question I have noticed changes and improvements.   As I said, mostly in the top end and the mids (especially the snare drum frequency range) And still continuing to change, albeit subtly now

Yes the dealer is not using the Subs but they are for sale.  They are Kinergetics I believe which were popular in their day.

thanks,
new to me, they do seem to fit the Bryston design quite nicely though .

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston Model T Signature Speakers


September 2015

Hi James;
 
I can’t believe it’s been almost two years since I got my Model T Signatures, as they continue to impress me every time I listen to them.

Everything I said before still holds true with the added observation that they sound so real, they definitely give me the “you are there ” feeling. I constantly find myself exclaiming, “Man, that sounds like live music!!!.”

An excellent example of this is Snarky Puppy – you may not be familiar with their music, but they are a large jazz group who record live in the studio with no overdubs before a small audience. Fantastic arrangements and the T’s bring all the dynamics of their recordings to life. You can check out their videos on Youtube.
 
A while back I inquired about outriggers for the external passive crossovers on the T’s and you said there were no plans for anything like this. I wanted to mechanically isolate the crossovers the same way the T’s were, so I tapped four holes in the bases of the crossover cases and threaded in the feet that came with the T’s. I’ve attached a picture of this. I think it looks pretty good and matches nicely with the outrigger feet.




The BDP-1 Digital Player that I got back in Aug. 2011 is a fantastic piece and I’ve been very happy with it. When the BDP-2 came out, the word was that it didn’t offer any difference in sound quality over the BDP-1, so I didn’t feel the need to upgrade. However, now that you’ve added a new Bryston-designed soundcard to the BDP-2, I think it’s time to consider an upgrade. Not only the new soundcard, but I’d like to try the internal SSD capability of the BDP-2 as well.

Thanks,  Dan

nice review....if this damn heat wave ever stops here in NY, I'll be able to enjoy them more without the AC constantly running..LOL  :D

So far I am keeping them plugged with the foam plugs I received from Axiom..for 25 bucks shipped, they fit perfectly. My mini T's are enjoying the extra power provided by my new Parasound A21 at 250 per as compared to my Para A52 that put out 125 per. I have not tried bi-wiring them with the new amp setup as they sound fine with the jumpers I made from some extra speaker cabling. Lp's are really singing and since I dismantled my HT, using the Mini t's for stereo playback of movies is top notch. I am probably going to reconnect my sub woofer..this time directly to the sub output of my OPPO 103..to provide a little extra punch to soundtracks.So far I am not missing it but I really don't to part with it or not use it.

Hi Folks,

Too much time on my hands this long weekend so ended up experimenting with the Bryston A3 speakers atop the Model A Sub  :thumb:
