I think that if a Bryston Dealers "tried" a few of the Bryston speakers they would be surprised by the reaction from their local customers, heck they might even sell a few...

I agree and over time I am sure that will happen.  Fortunately the speakers are selling very well as is.

HI Folks,

Getting some Bryston Middle T speakers out there for reviews - coming soon!

Really looking forward to the review.Coming soon feels like a long wait.

Yes I know it is frustrating for some of our customers as not all Bryston dealers want to care the speakers. 

I am thinking I may appoint one or two national dealers that already carry the speakers to supply customers in market areas where the local Bryston dealer does not carry the speakers to service those customers.

what about overseas dealers, James??

Hi Al,

Have not figured that one out yet as I really do not have any direct control.  What is working so far is having the closest distributor to the non-carrying distributor handle the sale.

...maybe you wanted to say 'the non-carrying dealer' instead of 'non-carrying distributor'?

or did i understand something wrong?

Hi Al

No I meant the Distributor that handles the speakers deal with the customer through one of his (carrying distributors) dealers.

I haven't posted on AC in a long time which is a testament to how happy I've been with my IB1's and 7BSST2 setup.  But I'm getting the itch to upgrade / try some different speakers and PMC's pricing is now beyond my means.

James I know you're very familiar with PMC so would you mind giving your feedback on the Model T/Middle T compared to PMC IB1/2 in terms of bass extension, midrange clarity, imaging etc?

Hi b5

Well I had a pair of IB2's that I had modified to be Active and that was my reference when I was developing the Model T's.  What I always admired about the PMC's was there ability to handle dynamic contrasts and play at real world listening levels.  So I would say the Model T series is more alike than different than the PMC's.



The philosophy is a little different in terms of the on and off axis energy and sound power concept and the transmission-line vs ported bass system but I would say bass extension is very similar and clarity through the mids and top end very, very close in overall character.  Both are very neutral speakers and that was important to me.

Hi James

Couple of questions I'd like to ask.

The power rating for a given speaker.Say from 50 to 250 watts for example.
1)How is it measured?
2)Is there a universal way for all company's to make this measurement?
3) Is there any allowances to measure in different ways to come do a different maximum wattage for given speaker?
4) Can Power Handling be different if say 2 speakers by different companies who make a speaker rated for the same wattage be different?Basically can
one speaker design handle power better than another if both are rated for the same wattage?

Thank James.

Hi Brandon

I will ask engineering on that one but generally a power handling spec is useless without a stated distortion number at a specific dB level.

Thanks James

I am thinking that many manufactures of speakers don't  list the SPL because they aren't that high.
Brystons speakers does list the SPL and quite high at that.
