I must not have been paying attention, but your vendor list as a dealer has gotten quite large. You heard any of those new Bryston active speakers? First I've heard of them.

FYI

Bryston go active with Model T, Middle T, Mini T loudspeakers | Darko.Audio

With external BAX-1 crossover box and 21B3/24B3 amplifier/s.
