Bryston
Middle T Loudspeaker (Per Speaker)
$4,295.00 USDThe Bryston Middle T is a sophisticated 4-driver, 3-way floor-standing loudspeaker that delivers exceptional sound quality in a more compact form factor compared to its larger sibling, the Model T. This speaker represents a culmination of Bryston's extensive research and development efforts, resulting in a product that balances performance and practicality for discerning audiophiles. Key features and improvements of the Middle T include:
- New Driver Designs: Bryston has incorporated newly engineered drivers, optimized for their specific roles within the speaker. These likely include:
- A high-frequency driver (tweeter) for crisp, detailed treble
- A dedicated midrange driver for clear, articulate vocals and instrumentation
- Two bass drivers for deep, controlled low-frequency response
- Enclosure Vibration Analysis: Advanced computer modeling and testing techniques were employed to minimize cabinet resonances and vibrations. This results in a cleaner, more accurate sound reproduction by reducing unwanted colorations from the speaker enclosure.
- Crossover Refinement: The crossover network, which directs different frequencies to the appropriate drivers, has been meticulously designed and fine-tuned. This ensures seamless integration between drivers and optimal performance across the entire frequency spectrum.
- Anechoic Chamber Testing: Bryston utilized anechoic chamber testing to measure and refine the speaker's performance in a controlled environment. This allows for precise adjustments and ensures consistent performance in various listening rooms.
- Semi-Full Range Design: While not as large as the Model T, the Middle T is designed to provide a wide frequency response, likely extending deep into the bass region without necessarily requiring a subwoofer for most music listening.
- Compact Footprint: The Middle T offers a solution for listeners who desire high-end performance but may have space constraints or prefer a less visually imposing speaker in their living space.
The Bryston Middle T represents a harmonious blend of acoustic engineering, materials science, and practical design considerations. It aims to deliver the brand's renowned sound quality in a package that can integrate more easily into a wider range of listening environments.
