Bryston Speakers, No Love?

They have been making them for at least 10 years.
 
The first speaker I ever reviewed was a 3-way standmount from Bryston, Mini A.


One thing I found really interesting about their design was that the midrange is effectively a "filler" driver - it plays at a very low level and its role seems to be to fill in the horizontal off-axis dispersion disruption that plagues most 7" 2-way speakers with flat waveguides for their tweeters.
Talking about filler driver, also historically interesting to see B&O using such in the past as a "phase link" to match the phase of the woofer and tweeter.

I’m very fond of Bryston having been an owner for several years.

Fortunately their products are so good they don’t have to worry about marketing them, which is just as well as they no idea how marketing works
 
I'm sure their speakers are like all their other products: extremely well-built, soundly engineered, very good measured performance, and expensive. They offer a very good value IMHO, considering the build quality, consistently high performance, and warranty - the latter of which is fully transferrable, which means their resale value is high, so you're not so much paying all that money for Bryston gear as you are temporarily tying your money up in it and can recoup a good deal of it if you decide to sell it after 5-10 years or something.

I also appreciate that they are minimalist when it comes to marketing and such. A lot of expensive brands spend a lot more money on marketing, which expenditure does nothing to improve performance or build quality. And I find that most other brands that don't do much marketing use that to cultivate a certain mystique - essentially to try to create "earned media" aka marketing without paying for it. But Bryston just seems to be a straight-ahead, no-BS company that really is content to let their products' quality speak for themselves.
 
I didn't know there were Bryston loudspeakers.
 
I have their model T with external crossovers.. Power hungry, can go very loud without a trace of distortion but too many wires to manage..
