Although more comely than the PSB Stratus Goldi, the Bryston Middle T Loudspeaker shares a remarkable similarity, between the sheets.
Looking at an analogy to skiing, given the Middle T name, The Bryston Middle T Loudspeaker and the PSB Stratus Goldi Loudspeaker are equivalent to the T-Bar, in terms of getting you there - very ground level, but marginally comfortable, with a nice feeling, while other loudspeakers (non audiophile), give you more of the Rope Tow encounter - perfect for beginners, but sore on the wrists, and only get you to the Bunny Hill, we should say. More rarified loudspeakers, like those we discuss elsewhere offer more of a full-lift experience, so you'll enjoy the majestic heights, from the elevation, but also some of the wind-chills, also.
Generally, in terms of skiing, you'd prefer the T-Bar, but if you want to get somewhere, you'll need to catch a double, quad or Gondola to hit the better slopes and catch the Black Diamonds (or double D's - we prefer G's).

* The PSB Stratus Gold was marketed as a speaker it was impossible to destroy by giving it too much power. It was common for it to be paired with Bryston 7B (500W, 800W @ 4 ohms) monoblock amplifiers. [117 dB SPL @ 1 meter - calculated 800 watts.]
