James,I'm curious for the model T sub  as to the 8" drivers even though there are three of em.
Was there any thought say using 10, or 12's.Course if the T sub surpasses some well known 15's I think I'm in.
I'm old school where I think and still do a bigger driver will move more air but maybe harder to control.
I don't care how big the sub is or the drivers it's the bass quality,lowend,mid bass punch ect.that count.
Have to audition 1-2 of these just to see and compare to my _ _ _ _as I have not heard anything like it yet.
Have to light a fire under Roberts butt to get a few in at AA.

Hi Don

There is method in my madness for choosing three 8 inch woofers over a single 15 other than style of course.  There is always a "floor bounce" dip when you place a subwoofer in a room.  The floor bounce creates a dip in response due to the distance the woofer driver is from the floor and the distance your ears are from the woofer. It can be a very large dip and the advantage of 3 stacked woofers is that each driver is a different distance from the floor so the dip is greatly reduced due to the averaging.

Below is a graph of the model T Sub showing the in room response and you will notice it is very smooth with no large dips up to around 300 Hz.

Damn James, must be satisfyin as heck to create all this audio from the ground up,NICE ONE.
Course we the consumer get the candles lit on the different cakes you and Bryston make.
Imagine diggin in deep in for 40 or more yrs. just in audio let alone the other related aspects of audio.
Sat today,gonna see if AA will be getting a few in,then I can home audition.

Mhhh James it seems you're quite selective with your answers, but inquisitive minds really want to know - is the Bryston sub amplifier shielded or not?

Yes- has to be for CE approvals.

Isn't that an european certification? BTW I just realized that the one in the pics is marked CE but no UL/ULC, and there's no 110/220V switch visible, will you have different makes for the north american / european markets?

Any pics?

Hi

Yes CE is for Europe and CSA as for North America.

Yes we will probably have specific units for 120 and 230.

Some recent shots of the new center, sub and Model T

Hi James,

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but the sub looks like the bottom half of the full Model T. If this is true, do I really need the Sub then, if playing the Model T?

Cheers,
Marius

Hi Marius,

You would not need a Sub with the Model T's - they are good down to 25 Hz.  The External Sub would go a little lower (17 Hz) but would be more suited to a Surround .1 channel or to augment the mini t's.   The Model T Sub is actually a little larger than the bottom of the Model T because we needed the larger internal volume.

[Marius]

Thanks James,

Eight hz might seem rather small a difference, but this low is quite a leap.  http://www.phy.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html  give or take the difference between a C0 to G0, a full fifth.
Hearing/feeling the sub frequencies, infrasound,  really adds to the excitement and experience of music. Whether or not our rooms are large enough to play/hear them is another issue altogether.
I like to point to this graph http://www.independentrecording.net/irn/resources/freqchart/main_display.htm to show why.

It's like this, the difference between hearing the roar or the purr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound 


Cheers, I'll be glad and am looking forward to testing them when they finally arrive on our side of the pond. keep up the great work you're doing!

Absolutely - I would say a 4B and above is ample power for the Model T.

James

How about for the Mini T and Middle T? Would a 3BST be ample amplification?

And how would a 2B-LP do with the on-wall/in-wall speakers as surrounds?

Thanks!

Hi Matt

A lot depends on the levels you listen at and the room size but under normal circumstances the 3B would be fine with either the mini t or the soon to be Middle T.  2B-LP will be fine on the onwalls.

Folks I have to say the mini t is just one of the best speakers I know of - they continue to surprise me

Thanks James! I heard the Mini T's at Audio One last week and they sounded sweet, and I heard them from across the room well outside of the sweet spot. I can't wait to give them a more serious listen!
