STEREOPHILE
MEMO: To All Bryston Customers SUBJECT: Bryston Active Middle T Demo – Capital Audio Fest November 2017 The look of Bryston audio gear strikes me as crisp and clean—sanitary, even. Bryston rooms are consistently well-vacuumed and smartly laid-out. Therefore, I am always a little surprised by how Bryston's house sound is more earthy, breathy, fleshy, and real than I assume it will be. I am sure all these warmer impressions are fueled by the charm and professional savvy of Bryston's Gary Dayton, who is usually making the demonstrations. He always turns me on to music and performers I didn't know I needed to know about. This time it was jazz singer Gretchen Parlato, indie pop duo Sylvon Esso, and eccentric singer-songwriter, Sufjan Stevens. (Thank you Gary.) Besides being elegant looking and expensive sounding, Bryston's gear is mostly moderately priced. Gary Dayton's cool artists were showcased via: a BDP-3 DAC, a BDP-17 (cubed) preamp, two 21B (cubed) "3-channel mono" amplifiers (the system was tri-amped), and the Middle T active loudspeakers + BAX-1 DSP Active Crossover. All these Bryston bits were connected to a "Bit 20" power conditioner. Herb Reichert, Stereophile |

Well James, I am nowhere near experienced enough in high end audio to critique your new active speaker system, but I have a system that would list for twice what the full Bryston setup in your room cost, and what I heard has really got me thinking.
Unfortunately my wife and I did not make it to your room until the end of the day Sunday. We were unable to spend as much time as I would have liked listening to different types of music. I would really like find another opportunity to demo this setup again, as I would have to sell off most of my system to facilitate the purchase. Considering that I am contemplating selling what I would consider some world class gear, that took me a couple of years to assemble, to enable me to purchase your latest achievement, should be pretty high praise as to what we heard. What I can say, is that I have heard these speakers before in the passive version, they were nice sounding speakers, but I do not recall them sounding as engaging as what we heard on Sunday. The tonal balance, and clarity of the active version was astounding. Not to mention the bass! I kept asking Gary if he had a sub hiding in the side room. My wife and I were both VERY impressed! Congratulations on quite an achievement! Regards, Rob.

I really do think Active takes the performance to a new level but getting the message out there has been a task. So often we as audiophiles move sideways when we choose out gear whereas active is a true move to better and higher quality. I agree as well in that we have tried to price our active systems so they are affordable (relatively speaking) to the esoteric price points out there these days. Thanks for the kind comments - much appreciated. james |
