Hi James,

Which Bryston amp would you recommend, as a minimum, to drive the Bryston Mini-T speakers?

A lot would depend on room size and the levels you listen at etc.  They are 89dB so I would say a 3B or 4B would be a good choice.

Quick question on the active version of the Model T's. I am thinking ahead and if I like what I hear I may opt on the active Model T's. Is the active crossover before the amps or after? Will I have to have 6 seperate channel of amplification and if so could I use say 2 14B SST's to drive the 4 channels of bass and mids and then get maybe a 4B SSTS for the tweets? This would be a mix of horizontal and vertical biamping...but would it work? In other words I would have a 14B SST on each speaker vertically biamped one channel going to bass one to mids. Then one 4B SST2 horizontally amping the tweets only...what say James?

Hi

Yes you need 6 channels of amplification and they all have to have the same "GAIN" - so any combination of Bryston amplifiers will work. 

The Active crossover goes between the Preamp and the Amplifiers

Remember you have to have the 'Signature' series version of the Model T speakers if you want to later upgrade to the Active version.

Any development progress on the subwoofer design, James?

Thanks.

Would the new B135 handle the Mini-T's?

Hi

Yes we are just finishing up on it now - boy the subwoofer market and the specification numbers they throw at you are arbitrary to say the least

Hi Gordon

Yes it is really an excellent combo

James,

Would a late 4B-ST do a good job of driving the model T's, with the 4B-ST driving the Model T's in stereo mode?

Sure - 150 watts or so in most rooms will work just fine so anything beyond that is a bonus.

Hi James, we were just discussing on this side of the Pond, we have assumed that PMC will not bring your speakers into the UK, does that mean we will never see them, or can there be another route?

Cheers

It's a good question an something I will have to discuss with PMC. It would be nice if we could work something out 

Open for suggestions

It would be nice to think PMC would, making distribution easy for you. However, given what they have done to us with the recent BIT pricing I am not sure they would give you a fair fight for sales. The obvious thing to do would choose one or a few specialist retailers who could be your conduit.

Yes I was thinking with recent introduction of the Specialty Bryston dealer in the UK maybe only those few select dealers handle the speakers if they want?

As tall as those stands appear to be and the resulting height of the tweeter and midrange, do you watch movies standing up, or am I seeing just a distorted perspective in the photos?

Hi Steve

No I use the tall stands as a test to see how well the power response is into the room - seated or standing there should be very little change in tonal balance if all is right with the world.

Sounds like a very good idea, yes please.

Good Day James,

Any idea what the Canadian retail price will be for a pair of stands (black) for the new Mini-T speakers?
