New Bryston’s have arrived at Audio Emporium, just in tie for Christmas!

The fit and finish is fantastic on these speakers. They have crazy powerful and articulate room filling bass! (our room is 1000+ square

and they have non-fatiguing, ultra-clean, and precise highs. They are
the best off-axis performing speakers we have heard to this day. The power handling capabilities of these T-10s is astonishing to say the
least! We are sure that our distant neighbours could agree! LOL.
