SUBJECT: Mini A – Customer Feedback Hi James, I tried to send this last night but the computer gods apparently had other ideas. It's eye-rolling time I suppose, since I have to confess to a small oversight! I guess I've been so fed up with the endless references to the necessity of burning in amplifiers, cables, speaker stands and presumably one's pants and house keys prior to putting any audio component into service that I just dismissed the entire concept and learned to ignore it. Even when discussing the idea in connection with speakers and reading a proper scientific dissertation on it, I never made the connection to my own speakers until I noticed a couple of days ago that they now seemed to sound just the way I wanted them to! At that moment the penny dropped and I felt a wee bit foolish, shall we say. I found an actual objective review online which you probably have seen, namely Bryston Mini A Bookshelf Speakers Review - HomeTheaterHifi.com. I don't claim any sort of brilliance because I was simply seeking the spectral balance I'm accustomed to from the Sony MDR-7506 and Stax Lambda SR-407. So in the end, these Bryston Mini A speakers sound astonishingly clear, lifelike and pleasant. It's so exciting, I only wish I could describe the experience better. Since sometime around 1984 when my Cam Pyper designed systems with the tiny Jordan drivers breathed their last, I've had supposedly good speakers that I found useful only for background listening or TV. Enjoying music required sitting down with the Koss ESP 9Bs until I lent them to the late Antonin Kubalek for a decade or two. He returned them near the end of his life in dire need of repair, but I didn't mind, patient soul that I am. After all this time, as much as I still want Audezes, it's truly thrilling to enjoy music at long last without being tethered by a cord. I have recurring fantasies about tri-amping these but that's not something I'd undertake lightly since I know a bit about passive crossovers and the things they sometimes incorporate along with the expected filters. BTW, Chris tells me that you use only high quality film caps and last I heard, using electrolytics in passive crossovers was quite standard so you may want to consider letting people know about this further example of Bryston refusing to compromise. The distortion from those electrolytics is similar to a rubbing voice coil, as I discovered by having a separate woofer enclosure so that the higher frequencies were not masking the fuzzy noises emanating from the bass drivers. Replacing with plastic caps made that distortion disappear, a lesson not easily forgotten. I often feel that great music, made with love, passion and dedication deserves gratitude beyond simply buying the end result, as a bit of money is small compensation for the gift of happiness to be enjoyed for many years to come. At smaller venues, I was able to tell guys like Richard Thompson that I enjoy their music a great deal and it was a satisfying gesture. Using your products gives me the same feeling of being the recipient of something special that merits thanks beyond just handing over the money. (I do get a bit emotional, I confess.) :-) I could ride this tangent until it becomes a book so I should just stop now and write the book later. In any case, thank you for caring so much about doing things right. We need a few beacons of hope in these troubled times. I've been listening to the wonderful Dory Previn Live at Carnegie Hall while writing this. Just for the record. Regards, Jozsef Last edited by James Tanner - Bryston; 10-07-2015 at 07:09 AM. |

I have a McIntosh Amp. Would the Mini T go on the 4 ohm taps or 8?

MEMO: To All Bryston Customers
SUBJECT: Bryston A3 Speaker Review in Malaysia October 2015 Hi Folks, Please see attached a PDF on a recent review we received from a magazine in Malaysia on the Bryston A3 Loudspeakers. FAVOURITE QUOTES: 1. What stands out with these speakers is their ability to deliver detail with such balance and precision that the listener can not only hear everything, but feel everything being put out through the music. 2. These speakers convey an engaging performance that is dynamic yet subtle, and able to shift from quiet to busy without breaking a sweat. 3. You will be impressed!” I have a full PDF available if you wish the complete version – jamestanner@bryston.com James Tanner Bryston Last edited by James Tanner - Bryston; 10-26-2015 at 08:43 AM. |

Hey James
Hope you’re doing well. here’s a pic for ya! After one year, my Mini T's are turning a nice rich color…and the sound keeps getting better! I’m batchin’ it for a few weeks. it’s amazing what speaker placements come to mind when there’s nobody else around! The Mini T’s are facing the kitchen - cranking some Mark Knopfler (again!). have you heard the new “Tracker” album yet? very well recorded. the cymbols on “laughs and drinks and smokes” are sweet. I’m loving my ALL Bryston setup James. (well, except for an old Carver CD player I bought in Fredericton back in 1994. Oh, and i hear you are working on a new CD player…exciting ! Hey, at the Vancouver audio show last summer, we chatted a little about Oscar Peterson. I am shamefully short of any Oscar recordings - what would you recommend as a few of his better recordings? All the best, Terry Smithers, BC. |
