Line Array Speakers - Audio Emporium

LINE ARRAY speakers are designed to give you a tall, deep, powerful presentation of music. When the design is carried out scrupulously- it is devastatingly effective in presenting a lifelike, 3D soundstage.

After you experience a well executed Line Array, I think you’ll have second thoughts about expensive 3-ways- no matter how well meaning or heavy the box.

Bryston of Canada has just introduced its new range of Line Array speakers dubbed the T-10 Series.

There are a million ways to make loudspeakers. Please give these a look and listen. I find them COMPELLING and think you will too.

Bryston T-10 Line Array Speakers

All models start with BAM as their core.

BAM: Bryston Audio Module

Bryston starts its line array with its innovative Bryston Audio Module (BAM). BAM features a pair of Titanium tweeters in the center, flanked by a pair of 5.25” Pure Aluminum midrange drivers.

The mid drivers are made of CONTIGUOUS Pure Aluminum. They’re not comprised of “this glued to that”- a sandwich of materials or a woven fabric.

Bryston feels it is best to use Pure Aluminum to assure Linear Piston motion and have no flexing compromises due to woven fabric or bonding processes.

BAM is housed in its own Canadian Rangerwood enclosure. It is reinforced by a CONTOURED aluminum front baffle that strengthens the wood composition and creates ideal dispersion for the four BAM drive elements.

Bryston prefers this cabinet construction to that of standard MDF, epoxy resin or aluminum. Bryston feels it is smarter to use more drive elements in its wood/aluminum enclosure, rather than to spend CRAZY on exotic box materials that STILL measure with some resonance- even at 250 lbs!

Most competitors assemble their speakers with drive elements purchased from Scanspeak or Seas- both of whom are quality driver houses in Scandinavia. Bryston makes all its own drivers, in its own house in Canada. Every drive element undergoes extensive QC which assures literally every driver performs within a scant variation from the reference standard of that driver. Bryston does not have the wide driver variances that are endemic with driver houses making boatloads of elements under mass production.

Bass Modules

Bryston builds its Bass Modules separate from the BAM. Bass Modules are made in several different configurations. The woofers are deep, heavy, cast frame (not stamped!) 8’s or 6.5’s, depending on the model.

All of the drivers are front firing for superlative control and transient attack. Side, back or rear firing drivers produce ample bass but invariably sound more muddled than if they were front firing. Bryston is after optimal performance and produces tall enough towers to permit front firing for all drivers. With the T-10 Series, Bryston isn’t worried about shorter cabinets that might be less intimidating to the eye. Let’s embrace the grandeur!

The Bass Modules are installed above and below the BAM center module. While each module is constructed separately, the TOWER is bolted and glued together so the tower is rock solid.

With this configuration, Bryston has made a tall Line Array that pressurizes the bass in your room in four emplacements. You’ll find it downright UNCANNY how different and convincing it is- to pressurize the bass in your room this way! With four localities in play, the weight and depth of your bass is not just more impressive. It brings a concert hall experience to your music you simply don’t get with a traditional design.
