Anyone wish to share their thoughts on Bryston amps comboed with MTM configured speakers. I have come across a couple of good examples with Snell and Acoustic Zen and Bryston. Just wandering if this might be more of a proven synergy or just singled out examples of this synergy strategy.

The MTM speakers i have heard seem to counter the strident characteristics of Bryston amps. It kind of reminds me of B&W/Classe synergy. The B&W speakers tend to offer more strident beats while the Classe amps tend to offset and relax it enough for good playback. Of course this is my own personal taste weighing in and not to be construed as End all be all.

My first Bryston Amp was a 4BST and at the time I had Kef 104/2s which had MTM in addition to coupled woofers. It was a great sounding combination although the Kefs were a bit laid back and I had to turn the volume up to bring the midrange to life.

Also, my brother has a 3BST and for a long time he was using a pair of Dynaudio Gemini's which were MTM kits with Dynaudio esotec drivers. Another great sounding combination.  The Geminis had more lively open midrange than the Kefs, but it was smooth clean and resolute.

I am not sure that either the Kefs or the Dynaudios countered an inherent strident characteristic of Bryston amps. I have heard others use terms like strident and bright associated with Bryston, but I have not experienced that with either the 4BST or my current PP300SSTs.
