Bryston Model A2 Loudspeaker

The Model A2 is designed to excel at both. Its linear driver array provides a wide listening window, which creates the precise imaging needed for critical music listening while maintaining the expansive, immersive soundstage required for high-end home theater setups.

Bryston recommends an amplifier capable of delivering between 100 and 400 watts. Because these speakers have a 4-ohm impedance and 87 dB sensitivity, you will want an amplifier that is stable at lower impedances to ensure they perform at their best.

Each speaker stands 39.5 inches tall and is about 9.25 inches wide by 17 inches deep. While they are floor-standing units, their relatively slim profile allows them to integrate into most living spaces without overwhelming the room.

The outrigger bases are designed to widen the speaker's footprint, significantly improving stability and preventing accidental tipping. They also help decouple the speaker from the floor, which can lead to cleaner bass response and less vibration transfer.

With a frequency response that reaches down to 31Hz, the Model A2 offers a full-range sound that handles most bass content quite well on its own. However, if you are building a dedicated home theater system and want to feel the deepest cinematic effects, adding a dedicated subwoofer is still a worthwhile consideration.
