Re: CES News 2014

The Bryston room was best sound for the buck so far.

James and his team once again have done an amazing job at a show. Their room was rocking.

The Middle T's were sounding crazy good for $4695 and as always, the 28sst2's impress!

I need to ask this as it has been nagging me for some time. Why are you using the 28Bsst2s with the Model Ts? I think the 28s are truly world class but quite out of line with Model T pricing. I would have thought the 4Bsst2 would be more in line.

[-E-]

Perhaps for the same reason people use ungodly expensive amps on little monitor speakers that cost 1/10 the price...

In other words: why not?

(Hey... maybe they just had the extra pair of 28s floating around and called 'em back for the show.)

Its a good question Jim and typically I do because most people never get to see or hear a 28B as they are rarely stocked by dealers and I find this gives me the opportunity to expose them.

hmm, that's a very good point. I bought my 28's sight unseen/unheard for that very reason, you just never see them. I have actually never come across a 7B for that matter either. The 4 and 3 are the popular ones at dealerships.

I demoed a pair of used 7B's and still think they were in the category of the top 3 or 4 best amps I've ever heard. Why I passed on them still haunts me today. I guess I just didn't feel I deserved all that capability, thinking like most with a modest setup that I'd be crazy to go beyond the 4, or even the 2. If you get a chance, have a listen one day. They are quite compelling.

Oh I plan on not only doing that but purchasing 3 of them to go with my pair of 28's I want all monos for my speakers. I always loved the concept of a mono amp and finally started on the road of incorporating them into my system. I'm loving the 28's so far. Here in the winter they nicely act as heaters, I'm a bit concerned about the summer though, she's going to be toasty.

SECRETS OF HOME THEATER AND HIGH FIDELITY MAGAZINE
CES 2014

It was good to see and hear James Tanner's Bryston Middle T ($4,500 for the pair) full range speakers in an elegant natural cherry vinyl veneer. The 4 Ohm speakers were powered by Bryston's 28BSST amps, and digital sources from the BDA-2 and BDP-2 digital player. The new Middle T features two 8" woofers with the 5.25" mid-range and 1" tweeter. I also liked the out-rigger adjustable spiked feet.

I will honestly say, this is the best sounding Bryston speaker to date. Tremendous depth, rich and transparent. The room offered a wide soundstage.

Very worthy of consideration for one of the best speakers I've heard today.

Thanks again for blowing or minds at the CES Show


Hi James,

Neither of us has gotten home yet, but we were so blown away by your demo, that I decided it would be foolish to wait to own a model T pair, in black ash please.

By the way, does T stand for Tanner?

Thanks again for entertaining Joy and me.

Best,
Marc
