Bryston Model T Speaker Review



In writing, there are two types of voice. Active and passive. It's the passive model we review. It would not be fair to pass judgement on the Model T Signature.



That has an external cross-over, which is something B&W included with their Nautilus. We will pass judgement on Bryston's external cross-over later, however. (That's a traditional, in-rep Bryston company product.)

The Bryston Model T was conceived of by Axiom Audio. That's a fair thing to say.

Axiom Audio and Axiom Home Theatre (very much like Outlaw Audio in electronics), serve the Canadian bargain basement today in loudspeakers.

How many Axioms can you espouse? That's a question very much for Bryston. With their Model T Passive trailing Axiom by a far margin, how much longer can they maintain innovation at Bryston?

We'd more expect their Model A's and T's to come from, say Kevin Deal of Upscale Audio (who covered the Marantz previously via Ah! Tojeb!), than to come out of Neal Drive.

Music for a generation?

With their speaker products, there's clearly a change a foot. We wonder why there is such a difference between the level of their sub-legendary electronics (music for a generation), and the quality of their floorstanders today. Such was not the case with Mark Levinson, when he ran Red Rose Music, or Daniel Hertz, in Oshua, today.

Canadian loudspeakers, like Energy, PSB and others have survived and thrived. We're curious where Bryston is going.
