HI Folks,

Sneak Peak:

Review coming in Canada Hi-Fi on the 'Bryston A2' tower speaker - best comment so far:

"IMHO, the mid-bass timbral accuracy, bass slam, and low frequency extension of the A2s compares with speakers in the $10K to $12K range; if not higher."

Would you say the Mini A has more detail or HF energy than the Kef LS50?

I'd like to hear them in So. California.

Thanks

Hi Mitebbots

The Mini A is really not targeted to 'more high frequencies' than other good speakers - it is really about accurate and even polar response both on and off axis and excellent power handling.

SUBJECT: Bryston A1 Speakers – Customer Feedback

Hello, James.

I apologize for the delay in writing to you about the Bryston A1s. They arrived on the 20th of March. Very quickly.

You wrote in your last message that the A1s should sound amazing in my setup. Honestly, that's a bit of an understatement.

Neighbors from upstairs came down to see whether I'd moved a piano into the apartment, but were stunned to see that the sound was coming from speakers. They stood in the room and couldn't believe their eyes, which said "speakers", for their ears said "piano".

Part of what stands out to me is the bass response. I can't believe the beautiful, deep response I'm getting from those 6-inch drivers. I'm extremely pleased! The speakers are about 4 feet away from the rear wall, and around 3 feet from the side walls. I didn't want to "eat up" any more of the room space, so I went conservative with the speaker placement. Also outstanding in the speakers is their natural sound. I'm surprised to be writing this, since with my system being all-Bryston, it was already natural. The speakers were yet another notch in the natural direction.

Specifically, there is no harshness to the sound, as when a reproduced voice or high registers of instruments may sound strident.

I am completely, absolutely pleased and impressed with the A1s.

Many thanks on your help and thoughts regarding the Model A1.

Sincerely as always,
Michael

April 2015

Hi Folks,

My first pair of Model T speakers were finished in a unique Rosewood veneer and everyone who saw them expressed how terrific this particular finished appeared.

This specific run of Rosewood is very difficult to get and I was not able to build any more speakers using this finish.
We have acquired a batch of this special veneer and will be offering a limited number of speakers employing this select Rosewood.
We can only build a limited number, so please let me know if you have any interest in a custom stereo pair or surround setup utilizing this exclusive finish.

SUBJECT: Audiophile Disease

Middle T Speakers

Hello, James.

I'm thrilled with my Middle T’s and Bryston B100 amplifier. The worst part about them is that they unleashed a serious case of the “audiophile disease” in me. Slowly falling deeper into debt with each upgrade that brings me closer to nirvana. Now they've just increased my line of credit by 15k and the first thing that comes to mind is a 4B and a pair of Model T’s!

I now have my Middle T’s about a third (5') of the way into the space of my opened concept house. Seems to be the best sound (at least to my ear) yet. The sound stage stretches well beyond the speakers, seemingly higher than the ceiling and the depth ranging from beyond the back wall to the front of the speakers.

The clarity and space between instruments is also quite amazing. I upgraded cables not to long ago and that helps to extract even more detail out of my favorite recordings. I can now hear the static of each recording room rather than indistinguishable added noise.

All in all, purchasing the B100 and Middle T’s at what seems like a lifetime ago, has made a massive improvement to my life and I'm very grateful that I decided to buy them.

That's how I feel about them, in a nutshell.

Thanks,
Dane

Dane,

That audiophile disease to which you refer, in the medical journals its called "audio ad infinitus"

Glad you are having such a great time with your setup.

Bill

there is no cure in case you were wondering

James, any chance you have a picture of the Middle T or Model T in the red rosewood ? I am trying to decide and I can't find a picture of it anywhere

James Tanner · « **Reply #2055 on:** 25 Apr 2015, 12:58 am »

Middle T - far right.

James Tanner · « **Reply #2056 on:** 25 Apr 2015, 01:04 am »

This is a new Rosewood we just got a few sheets in called Brazilian Rosewood - very limited quantities and can only get every so often.

dallyd31 · « **Reply #2057 on:** 25 Apr 2015, 01:21 am »

Thanks. so, the first and second pics are the red rosewood or regular ? The red rosewood looks much more "red" in the sample in the online brochure

James Tanner · « **Reply #2058 on:** 25 Apr 2015, 01:47 am »

Yes that is the natural rose. The Middle is the Red Rose.

Heres a better shot of Red (on left) vs Natural
