Hello M Tanner.

We had the pleasure to me at the Montreal audio show me and my wife, M Russell took a picture of her in front of your Model T white.

Anyway I had the chance to listen to the Middle T, wow what a speaker, we really like the sound of it and the size. The bass is present, we don't have any frequencies that go over the others, very well made.

Can you tell me what kind of wood is the finish, because we are not sure about the colors you are offering, from what we saw at the audio show, the picture on the web site doesn't show the real color or effect from the wood.

I'm very happy with my Bryston amp and DAC, my next purchase gonna be the Middle T and the Mini center, I'm gonna wait the rear when you gonna come with your new back surround.

Thank you

Robert Caron

NEW TWEETERS:

Hi James,

I will try to explain my impressions so far although I am not a musician so I may not have the vocabulary.

The differences I recognize can be summarized as "more natural".
It is like letting the tweeter perform in a somewhat bigger room than before. More airy and therefore also a better complement to the mid. It feels like they are more on the same level somehow. Earlier the sound was a little more in the face (a little more obtrusive) and now it is more natural but still as detailed as before.

Once again do not get me wrong, the Middle T was a great speaker from the start. I am only talking about small details, which might even be only personal taste. I am so satisfied and will stick to my Bryston Middle Ts. I left my PMC journey and I do not intend to go back.

Best Regards,
Mattias Biörs

Hi James,

I'm currently listening to a rather odd but exquisite performance of Sofia Gubaidulina's Canticle of the Sun. It's a very haunting sound, driven primarily by strings and percussion. I can really only listen to it when my mind is at peace .

Here again, the Middle T delivers amazing purity of tone as well as astonishing resolution and presence of the percussion instruments. This piece is 75% micro dynamics and I believe such music demands a resolute three way design. Again, I have not heard another speaker do this music better (and I've heard a few!).

A customer of mine, who bought his Middle Ts at the same time as I, has them in front of a really top tier system--somewhere you might not normally find a $5400 speaker. He has commented a few times how beautiful his system is sounding --and he previously had a pair of world renowned monitor speakers which cost a fair chunk more than the Middle T.

It would be easy I think to pass the T series speakers as all slam and no finesse, at first glance. Such a response is the result of the many average to poor multi driver designs littered throughout the AV industry. The reality is the T series--the Middle T in particular-- is capable of astonishing inner beauty.

Call me a very happy customer


Thanks again,
James, Absolute Audio Video, Calgary

Wow I agree 100% in that if you can please James at Absolute Audio Video, Calgary then the Middle T is a "True Gem"!

Hi James

I would summarize the new tweeters in a few simple words - silkyness, airiness, and a much more natural and accurate presentation... jazz cymbals sound three dimensional now ..and vocals or speech sound much more natural and "right".

The new tweeters also blend beautifully with the other drivers in my opinion..the speakers are even more coherent and holistic now...and create a much deeper and well defined soundstage ...in a nutshell - it draws you into the music now..and one forgets the equipment completely....)

Cheers from Singapore !

I ordered my new tweeters a few weeks ago. I'll post pics and listening impressions when they arrive.

Hi Ivan

Yes I am sorry for the delay in getting you the new replacement tweeters. We have had so many new speaker orders that we underestimated the number of tweeters we needed overall.

Should be getting a batch more soon but because they are all hand assembled and tested individually to match it takes more time.

Absolutely (haha). James is super picky about nearly everything, so when he sings praises I always take note. Also, I can vouch for said customers preference for the Middle T over the mystery monitor To my surprise, a 'cheaper', larger speaker with more drivers has a more coherent soundstage and ability to 'float' than those speakers... which are a 2 way AND known for that. While I had both in my living room I got to do a lot of comparison to be sure I was making the right choice. Huge sigh of relieve from the girlfriend I upgraded to something that actually costs less! (for me too! haha)
