While Bryston didn’t launch any new products at the show, it’s always a pleasure to listen to their gear.

The all-Bryston demo system here included the Model T active towers powered by 7B Cubed amps (powering bass drivers), 3B Cubed amps (mids and highs) and the BP-26 preamp. The source was the BDP-3 music player connected to a BDA-3 DAC.

A custom designed crossover allowed James Tanner to fine tune the setup to achieve a perfectly flat frequency response in the room.

(EDIT: No DSP was used as the speaker was dead- flat with no adjustments required in this room).

As I’ve come to expect from Bryston, the system played with incredible energy and real world dynamics but also offered great precision and finesse with more delicate music. This was one of my favorite sounding setups at the show.

In addition to the demo system, Bryston also showed a prototype 21B Cubed series 3-channel amp (on static display). The single chassis of this upcoming amp will house the circuitry of the 7B Cubed amp (single channel) and a 4B Cubed amp (two channels).
