I’m getting very interested in acquiring an active Bryston system next year.

My listening room is about 3m x 3m x 4m high.

Which Bryston speakers would be appropriate for this size?

Is an active configuration possible for these?

I currently have a 4B3 so perhaps I could use this for the bass drivers and maybe buy 2 x 3B3 for mid range and high or one 9B3 with four channels?

Many thanks

Hi Shaun

Yes all the new T-10 speakers can be used Active.  :thumb:

so 10 x 10 x 12 high?

The problem with small rooms is the standing waves are problematic and that causes the bass to become boomy.  The advantage of the Active system is you have control of the low frequencies in the room using a built in  GUI.

Would the Trim T10 Line Array be a suitable choice or would the Mini T10 be better?

Are there any dealers in Holland who stock Bryston loudspeakers?

Many thanks

(Looking forward to getting the BR20)

Hi Shaun

The Trim T10  should be OK or the Mini T10.
When the room is square (10 x10) that will complicate the standing wave issue so some form of DSP will probably be needed.
The bigger the speaker the more issues with standing waves due to low frequency output.
If you contact out distributor in Holland they should have speakers.
I will post the two bookshelves to consider.

Hi James,

I think Ibwill go with the Mini T10 along with the nice stands.

Earlier I mentioned getting a 9B3 to go with my 4B3 but would a four channel BD-225 also be a good choice?

I’ll be ordering a BR20 on Wednesday

Hi Shaun

I would recommend the 4B Cubed with the Mini T.
