Do them in BLACK and they will sell out!

So is the white finish an option on the Middle T , if so what is the up charge ? Thank You

Hi

I just did this pair for a customer as a special and I do not think we can offer it though as the amount of labour is huge which doubles the cost of the speaker.

I'm looking into buying a pair of Mini T, and from the reviews I've read, there's a $500 upcharge for real wood veneers. I got a quote from an authorized Bryston dealer and he quoted me a $1200 upcharge for a rosewood veneer. Can someone tell me which veneers are available at the $500 range? The website gives an option for your own custom finish, but gives no access to what is available. There are other speaker manufacturers around that will direct you to a website of available veneers for their speakers, but I haven't been able to get any concrete answers from anyone concerning the Bryston veneers.

Hi Spence,

Sorry for the confusion.

The standard finishes available in Wood for an extra $500 are Natural Cherry, Boston Cherry and Black Ash finishes as well as Walnut which has recently become very popular.

Rosewood is a premium beyond the standard wood charge and is an extra $500 for a total of $1000.

Thanks James,
So it's 4 finishes in vinyl, the same 4 finishes in wood for a $500 upcharge, and then higher costs for everything else depending on the type of veneer. That clears up my confusion!

“Hi James

I had the opportunity to listen to a pair of your Bryston Mini T speakers.

They have ruined me as now everything else (speaker wise) I listen to sounds pale in comparison.

Well done on your foray into the speaker market.”

Hi Charles,

Thank you for your kind comments - I will pass them along.

Where did you hear the speakers?

James

Hi.

Thanks for the reply. Last weekend I was in Fredericton visiting friends, one of whom is Rick Bastedo who works for Cox Electronics. He mentioned he had some speakers that were really worth auditioning, so I did. I was amazed at the level of detail, the sound-stage and imaging.

Overall, the sound the Model T's produced was astonishing. I have decided to buy a pair this Spring.

Best,
Charles Morrisey

Hi James:

The colour but not the type of finish is the issue in my situation. In order to ensure a favourable WAF outcome, would a white vinyl veneer for Mini T's be a possible upgrade? If so, what would be the Canadian dollar MSRP of the Mini T's in white?

Hi Tim,

If it is a standard White vinyl it would be similar in price.

James I was comparing the pictures from the mini T center from the brochure and your website and they are different. The website picture is a noticeably longer and deeper cabinet. Are they two different versions or is the website version still available? Thanks.

Darn, the original mini t center was gorgeous. Sorry I have to question why it got changed.

One of the very difficult things to do with a center because it is positioned horizontally as opposed to vertically (like the left and right speakers) is attaining the same polar dispersion on and off axis as the main speakers. So the driver configuration/crossover/driver positioning etc. is critical to the get it right. So in this case function determines form.

What did you like about the old version?
