Mini T

Bryston’s Mini T is inappropriately titled. There is nothing “mini” about the Mini T. It is a stand mount sibling to the Model T and Middle T, all James Tanner’s creations. Companion 22” tall stands run $220 per pair.

James’ design brief for Mini T was to make it easier to place and be less expensive than its bigger brothers. It wasn’t to make Mini T a tiny speaker. In fact, Mini T uses the same woofer, midrange and tweeter of the big boys. It just uses one of each instead of multiples.

As you would infer Mini T has the same gorgeous mids and highs of the towers. It casts a wide and deep soundstage that is comparable to the Middles.

When you look at Mini T you might not expect prodigious bass response. In that, you would be WRONG. Mini T’s bass will hit you with nothing less than shock and awe- because you’re not expecting it. Mini T wields a sledge hammer in its hip pocket.

We have sold Mini Ts to owners of all rooms, small to large. The customer just didn’t want a large looking speaker in the room. One of the most impressive systems I’ve heard Mini T in is in a

truly massive, warehouse looking living room. You barely see the Mini Ts on their stands and yet they will absolutely ROCK your world with bass impact if it’s on the recording. To hear Mini T sound impressively GINORMOUS in such a big room was absolutely ear opening to me, because I normally hear them in more modest rooms. It’s simply amazing how they can perform if you let them breathe.

Mini T is made to the same standard as its tower brethren- just not in tower form. There is nothing about Mini T that is second fiddle or lesser in quality.

A fair percentage of our Mini T buyers already have the Model T or Middle T in a larger room! Once you get hooked on Bryston’s full figured performance, going to anything less leaves you wanting. Smaller competitors are just too wimpy once you get used to Bryston’s musical exposition.

If you’re looking to spend Mini T money, please audition it. Please don’t hold it against Mini T that it isn’t a large tower. It will embarrass the majority of $5k towers out there, that are nowhere near as hearty in their sonic presentation.

Mini T’s flavor is just like Middle T’s, but a tad leaner in the bass. I need to make the point that Mini T is NOT a lean sounding speaker. It’s very rich and impactful. It’s just not the fire breathing dragon that Middle T definitely is!

When I demo Mini T I might even prank you and say there’s a subwoofer on in a dark corner over there. I guaranty, you’ll think there is!
