    "These Tower Speakers Will Rock Your World"

    The Bryston Model A3 Loudspeaker showcases the same design principles as the company's larger Model T speaker, while leveraging a more compact, décor-friendly, form factor. The Model A3 incorporates a new premium quality 6.5" woofer to replace the 8" woofers found in the Model T design. It is slightly smaller in stature then the Model A2, after Bryston engineers removed a tweeter and a midrange to create a loudspeaker with a slightly smaller physical profile.

    Built to be exceptionally high quality and affordable, the Model A3 boasts new driver designs, enclosure vibration analysis, crossover refinement, and anechoic chamber testing. All of this went into creating an amazing product which brings superior design to the table.

    "These Canadian tower speakers will rock your world," says Steve Guttenberg, "The Audiophiliac," in a CNET.com review for May 25, 2014. "Bryston's A3 tower speakers are true three-way designs, and they come with a 20-year warranty!"

    "I am impressed with the sound quality of the Model A3-s and based on that I recommend auditioning them," reports Travis Allanson in a September 16, 2014 review for Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity. "They have a neutral sound, present music with tremendous accuracy and are capable of full range music playback. I can imagine that seven Bryston A series speakers and a subwoofer will make for a phenomenal home theater system."

    Superior Suspended Disbelief

    A state-of-the-art audio system involves what some refer to as a 'suspension of disbelief.' This means the playback system transcends the recorded medium and transports you to a live venue. You forget it's a recording and believe you are there at the live performance. Bryston's goal with the Bryston Model A3 loudspeaker is to provide its customers with a superior level of 'suspended disbelief.'

    Startling Dynamics, Easy to Drive

    The Model A3 is Bryston's only 6 ohm floorstanding loudspeaker, and it is a comparably easy load to drive for amplifiers of modest power. This makes it a good match for integrated amplifiers or even home theater receivers. Bass that extends down to 40 Hz and 250-watt power handling promise plenty of excitement and startling dynamics free of acoustic compression.

    Thrilling Hi-Res Three-way System

    A pair of identical custom 6-1⁄2" bass drivers support a single Bryston midrange and Bryston tweeter to create a high-end three-way driver complement capable of high resolution and wide bandwidth. These custom designed drivers have die-cast aluminum baskets, substantial magnet assemblies, and custom motor systems. The wide dispersion design contributes to the large sound stage and sense of concert hall realism. It also uses the same highly acclaimed titanium dome tweeter found in all other Bryston loudspeakers.

    The driver system provides high levels of SPL without distortion or compression, and features meticulous unit-to-unit matching for balance and consistency. Bryston internal crossovers are not only expertly engineered, but they are also designed to integrate perfectly with Bryston amplifiers.

    Elegant and Attractive

    Elegant and attractive, the simple styling and modest size of the A3 is no less robust than the larger A Series speakers. Each wall is 3⁄4-inch-thick MDF and securely fastened to all others with a robust bracing structure. Two rear firing ports complement the single vent at the front to augment the woofers for precise and powerful bass free of audible resonances.

    Black fabric grilles are provided. Also included with the speaker are padded feet and spikes which may be screwed into threaded inserts found at the base of the loudspeaker. Padded feet are suitable for protecting hard floors beneath the speaker from damage. Spikes are recommended for use on carpet.
