"Someone stop him!"

Seriously, I am so excited for the new products. It makes it easier for what I do to offer an all-in-one product company for all my clients because there is no better deal in audio than Bryston, both price and sonically. But rest my friend...rest!

By the way, I have an appointment to take our Bryston Minis to Jade Entertainment in downtown Mobile, AL. The owner is a great guy and a life long friend. I will be setting them up in one of his main studios as monitors. So, my next question is, with the creation of all of these new products, have you considered a powered set of Minis, or similar, for the professional use in studio recording as studio monitors? I look forward to your reply. I will also report back with pics and comments from the recording engineers.

Take care from your Southern Bryston Bro,
Robert Meeks

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: BRYSTON MINI T SPEAKER


BRYSTON MINI T - REPORT FROM THE TRENCHES:

Very first impressions initial listening: Direct swap out from B&W 802 setup: Using Naim HDX as source Listened to progressively more detailed, complex, and wider octave ranged music, about 20 tracks, about 2 minutes each on B&W first, then quick swap for Bryston Mini T.

On lighter, but very well recorded music, Mini T seemed lighter weight, BUT vocals were amazing in accuracy, depth, and even possibly clearer. As the music moved down into the 200hz range, with some drum work, conga, and newer recordings that weren’t studio compressed speakers seemed to come into their own.

Going to some re-mastered Rock, the speakers got fuller, but seemed in my mind to be about 2 dB shy of output of 802, which I was surprised as the 802’s suck up power. (Pot was at same level). Detailed, but less forward jazz music seemed to favor the B&W…but of course we are talking cabinets that have 3X the volume, more drivers, and cost 4X as much as the Mini. So I decided to goose the volume pot a drop…VOILLA ! WOW, these things COOK! I have a few very strenuous tracks in my test run, from Jaco Pastorious, to Airto & Micky Hart, and finally Pancho Sanchez who along with his percussive works, has an organ that moves your innards.

I could not believe the output of these little speakers. Not bloated, not tubby, and as much as I tried all type of vocal, I think they might be slightly better than the 802 in this 200hz-1000Hz range. Crossover components ? Driver ? Combination ? but a hair more articulate. I tried all type of male from the Velvet Fog, to james Taylor, Mick Jagger, Satchmo, Ray Charles & more…to many old school female voices, to the newer ones like Krall of course…VERY SMOOTH clean at about 88dB, and very articulate.I did play a remake of the famous test disc from the 80’s, Limehouse blues, from Jazz at the Pawnshop, that I think I have heard 100 times, if I heard it once. the background noises, were extremely clean and articulate. Al the speech was well defined. I attribute this to the cross-over points, not effecting the critical vocal range, and what is obviously a very tight patterned mid-range driver. I am assuming the distortion on this driver is very low.

For this price, this is a grand slam of a product in the World Series of speakers !

More to come.

James,

I received my printed issue today, the same day you emailed about the Mini T review. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Not a negative comment in it. He describes the monitors as studio monitors in the best sense, and has nothing but praise and admiration for your approach to accurate design throughout the review.

Congratulations!

I hope some reviews are in the works for your full-sized monitors as well.

Cheers,

Bob Sykes

James,

Can you comment on what you perceive (and/or designed!) as sonically different between the middle T and model T? I'm trying to decide for my room which is the better choice (Attached a picture of my room schematic for reference, hope it works!). 8 ft ceilings. Anyway, I'm leaning towards the middle T, but I haven't had the chance to demo both (just the model T) and I'm curious what one gives up when stepping down to the middle T. Would the big model be too much speaker for my relatively small room? Also you can be honest if you think one just 'sounds better' than the other (in a private message if you prefer and I'll keep it to myself haha)

Hi,

I would say the Middle T's for sure given the room size. A lot will depend on how loud you listen to your music. The Model T can be used in a smaller room than you would think because the Sound Power Response is equal in all directions but the Middle T is a safer bet if the room tends to load up easily.

The power handling capability of the Model T is really the only benefit over the Middle T. The sonic characteristics, the crossover points and the listening window and sound power are all similar on all the different T models.

I did a show in Toronto at a dealer last Saturday in a room similar size to yours and the Middle T's sounded superb

Hope this helps.

BRYSTON MINI T LOUDSPEAKERS


Hi Folks

Musical jewels!

That was my impression after an active listening of this Mini T model. Wow. It was magical. I've passed a wonderful 3 hours (I will have to return as it wasn't enough long) with Rick Bastedo, sale agent, Hi-Fi Specialist of Cox's Audio in Fredericton (New Brunswick).

I'm in process to buy a complete new sound system. Start from the beginning as I just have right now my Apple (computer with ITunes Library) and the Sonos Play 5 (bought there, at Cox's last year). Everything we have listened yesterday night was Bryston (including the DAC and the converter) except the CD Player. I had a bias perception against Bryston amplifier and other of your products. Don't know why exactly, perhaps some Magazines Critics in the past. Who knows?

But this listening session yesterday with some of my favourites CD and records was astonishing. Unfortunately, I don't have the budget right now to buy the Mini-T, your integrated amplifier and the converter and the DAC. So I will have to choose.

Again, bravo for this accomplishment. You have a pretty good salepersonne with Rick Bastedo, of Cox's Radio. He knows your product very well. I'm still flabbergasted by the superiority of your DAC and Converter compare to a listening with a CD. Wow. Marvellous. Indeed, Canada is going to become an audiophile and Hi-Fi product reference - A world leader in this sector Why not? Again, bravo for this so good Mini T Bookshelf speakers. Their bigger brother should be a jaw dropping experience when you listen to it.

Keep the good work!
