True!

When there is live music playing at a house nearby you instantly know its not reproduced but produced.
Would be the biggest complement for a sound system if it sounds like live music from a distance.

Yeah, you can be walking down a busy city street, with cars and city workers and people making noise, but when you hear someone playing a piano or a saxaphone in a second story window apartment above you, it's instantly recognizable as being live. Why is that? How are we able to distinguish between that live piano and a stereo system playback?

James, I am curious about the Mini T. Is it a sealed box or ported design? If ported is it designed for flat frequency response or is there +-db bump in the 60-80 hz region to accentuate mid bass?

Thanks, Al

Hi Al,

Ported at the rear top but flat frequency response - one of the advantages of a true 3- way.

James,,question about the dsp crossover version,,would you consider making a dsp crossover with a digital input and integrated volume control??   With all do respect..would there some theoritical loss of performance from the Dac 2 into the dsp crossover?  Also you're adding another step of transcoding even though done very well!

Yes we have thought about a dedicated preamp crossover in a single box but is probably a ways out.

Hi Folks,

Based on dealer and distributor feedback we are developing a smaller Center channel - Mini T Center

Hey James,

Great, this was one complaint I had about the centre speaker.  Do you have the new dimensions of this speaker?

I believe the surrounds are 24" in length and wonder if there is a chance to reduce size to 18"?  Also, can these speakers be oriented on their longest side on a shelf?

On the subwoofer, has there been any developments - active or passive unit? If passive, what kind of amplification would be required - 5b st enough?

Just a general question about impedance of speakers(4 or 8 ohms), can you use both types in a surround configuration without concerns of timber or impedance matching issues?

Ciao, Luigi

Hi

Will measure the sample pair.

By surrounds are you meaning the Onwalls and Inwalls -  if so I have changed my mind and have decided to develop a new small 3way as the smaller 2way was not capable of the sound pressure levels and matching with the larger Model T's.

On the Subs there will be a passive version and depending on room size I would say between 300 and 600 watts.

The impedances will be nominally 4-6 ohms depending on the speaker.

Hi James,

I was referring to the Bryston mini t speaker, which I believe measure approximately 24" inches in length(height).  What I was asking is if dealers are asking for something smaller in length(height), 18" inches would be great and keep the same performance of this 3 way speaker.

On the passive sub question, 300-600 watts of power is from one or more channels of amplification?

Hi

No the Mini T can not get much smaller if I want the frequency response and power handling to be better than your average 2-way.

One channel of amplification per sub.

Hi James,

Now I got it too....

Just wondering as you have reduced the size of the centre speaker by mounting the tweeter and midrange above each other.  Could this work for the Mini T speaker as well? This would standardize the speakers and possibility reduce manufacturing costs as well... As you can tell I have space constraints with my present shelves that hold my surround speakers, so it height is reduced than Mini T speaker is an option in future...

The smaller Center will in fact be bigger the the Mini t and designed to go with the Model T.  A Center channel for the mini t would have to be about the same size with 1 woofer mid and tweeter

Hi James,
Have you ever thought to add the model T active to this list?
I think it would be a great competitor to the rest as price/value active package.
I see that Linkwitz just added his new LX521 to the list.So I assume you could do it.

Hi Prelude,

Will do but I have been so backed up getting the Passive and Signature speakers out the door I have just not had time to work on the Active crossover.

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.

Bryston shipped the Model T speaker over to my house and I am driving it (them) right now. It's actually one large pair of loudspeaker weighing in at about 100 pounds each.
I have had recent discussions of specs and their correlation to the listening experience— specs vs listening.

This is one of the rare occasions where measurements actually show precision and this was confirmed with my preliminary listening tests with the Bryston Model T speakers.

So far, I am delighted with this exceptional design . . . more to come very soon . .
