O right, that's very clear 
sorry for that...

since we're on this topic: there are no other 'tone control' or crossover-settings options/differences between them? A la 10bsub, to taylor them to the auditorium? That would be a rather important aspect for selection on this side..

Marius

Hi Marius,

A 10B would not work as the new Bryston DSP crossover is designed specifically for the Model T Active.  When you design a speaker the Crossover whether Passive or Active has to be considered as a part of the whole - assuming excellent Power response (smooth and predictable ''on and off' axis polar response) from the speaker is your goal.

Wow, James you have certianly been a busy boy

So it is official, the Model T is definately coming to retail?

When are we likely to see them? Will they be coming to the UK? I'd be very keen to grab a pair for demo

Hi Paul,

Yes busy it is 

I have wanted to do this for a long time and decided the days are getting shorter so time to act 

Anyway I am in it with both feet - many tell me I will regret it -  - we shall see I guess.

Building 100 units now and hope to have production ready to ship in September.

James,,I'm sure you will not regret it. I think we're witnessing the birth of ANOTHER fantastic Bryston  product.

p.s.Will there be a piano black??

It can be ordered that way but the pricing scares me !!!!!!

Hi James,
Congratulation on a new product.
So,if I am not wrong.Is this year Bryston will be the only brand in the room at Toronto show and the passive one will be in display?

[Vipers]

Hi James,

I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, I can't wait to get some early feedback once they are in customers systems, I'm sure that they will be very nervous times for you when the first reviewers get their hands on your babies but imagine how proud you'll be when the glowing reviews start flowing in

I'm just hoping I get to hear them over here in the UK, it has been fascinating following there development.

Boy my trigger finger is itchy...

What color are the speakers on page 21 of this thread, Natural Cherry or Boston Cherry.

Is the cherry color going to be available in the first batch you produce.

If these were to be used in a 5.1 systems, what center speaker would closely match these.
 Would the axiom VP180 be a good match.

I have to say, that intrigued me, what is the difference between Natural and Boston Cherry? I would love to see the Gloss black though, over here PMC do gloss black on their new twenty series for an extra 10% which is very fair and is proving extremely popular.

[Marius]

Thanks James,

So if i get it right, the Signature passive with the crossover allows me to still use the 10bsub/subwoofer, and the active version does not.

What would be the configuration (amp wise) in the active version? And do you have a pricing already for those versions?

Hi

That's the natural cherry - Boston cherry looks like Rosewood

We will be releasing a matching Center, surrounds and powered Sub as well in October. it is very very important that the Surrounds and Center have the same polar response as the front left and right speakers!

Hi Vipers

Yes we are going to be able to offer more exotic finishes but not for a while.

Marius

Hi Marius

So far I have used a 6B per channel and tried a 7B and 4B combo as well.

The price of the Active speaker is the same but you have to add the DSP crossover which is 3000 and 6 channels of amplification.

James

[Marius]

Wow, that's some heavy amping...

And the price of the signature setup is how much?

Signature is the same price for the speaker and 1000 extra for the outboard Passive crossovers. Then you can upgrade to the Actice system going foward if you want by replacing the Passive crossovers with the DSP Active crossover and 4  more amplifier channels

James

[Marius]

  indeed!
Thank You!

James, will the speakers be @ CES?

No because we share the room with Thiel

Hi James,
Please allow me just this: is the only difference between the Signature and the standard 'passive' version the outboard crossover? The standard version T's have them inside. They would be of the same quality with the same specs I gather? Making upgradability the only reason to go for the Signature?
