Extra Info:

 

Bought the speakers about a year ago and they partnered well with my Audio Space Ref 3.1 300B.  Bryston are well known for their amplifiers.  They commissioned Axiom to produce a range of speakers to meet their specifications.  The speakers are all manufactured in Canada, with the Mini T the smallest of the range (there is now a yet smaller one, the Mini A).

 

The speakers are the most neutral I have heard and is particularly wonderful with vocals.  Notwithstanding its size, it has very good bass extensions (I turn off my subbie when I have these on).  It is very heavy and solid, feels like a solid piece of oak.  Note that the speakers are 4 ohm and 86 DB, and requires a good amp to drive them.  The amp does not have to be high powered as my Audiospace (which has 4,8 and 16 ohms taps) with only 21 W per channel perform better with them than my Naim Uniti 2 with 100W per channel.  

 

RRP is $4995 (see http://www.stereo.net.au/news/bryston-mini-and-model-a2-loudspeakers).  The stand is exactly at the right height for this tall speakers and is solidly built.  The speakers works brilliantly with the bi-wiring.  

 

When I bought this from an unnamed Melbourne store, it came only with one set of rubber feet,  Despite several request, the other set never materialise.  The speakers come with 2 sets of spikes.  However I remove the feet completely when using on the stand, and they sit on hockey pucks when I have them on bench top.  The price reflect the lack of one set of rubber feet which did not make much difference to me.

 

The speakers colour is Natural Cherry.  It looks like raw timber with a hint of red (it grew on me).

 

Have original boxes and packaging.  Can post (they come in separate boxes) but note these weigh quite a bit.

 

A lot of strong review, including 2014 The Absolute Sound. Editors' Choice Award:
