Great Studio Monitors
I have owned a set of these for a couple of years now. They are pretty amazing. Very full and Rich sounding with lots of clarity. I have mixed a lot of Records on these. Every room is different so it's important to have your room together. I used IK Multimedia ARC software to come up with a curve for my room, and these speakers sound so good in that room it's pretty amazing that this is all they cost.
Pure Gold (Deciphered Audio)
Since I got them it's been a whole next level experience can't go wrong with a pair of these monitors just pure gold with low end for days solid
I am very happy with my Tannoy Gold 8 Monitors.
These monitors are seriously great.
They translate well to other listening devices and I can trust them to translate well. I can trust what I'm hearing.
They sound very clear, and I enjoy listening to music on them, even when I'm not listening to music.
I disagree with the other comment saying that these monitors are fatiguing. Personally, I have never felt fatigued after long periods of listening. Even at high volumes.
I give these speakers a 10 out of 10.
I have had Focal Solo6 Bs, Focal CMS 50s, Yamaha HM-80s, and Adam Audio A7; they're all different of course, but these are right up there with serious quality and sound that you can trust.
The only downside I can think of is that: pushing the volume too high activates some sort of limiter which doesn't let the volume go higher.
But honestly, I can totally live with that.
You can still play music extremely loud.
It just doesn't go up to the level of the volumes that could hurt or damage your ears. So I'm totally okay with it.
Amazing monitors. I wouldn't hesitate to buy these again.
Also, they look beautiful. I get a lot of compliments on the monitors and people always wanna know what they are.
They look unique and great.
Again, 10/10.
Amazing Detail
I was completely surprised when I not only listened to previous mixes but even the current tune I was mixing contained so much clarity and punch I was able to dial in minute nuances which allowed me to clearly hear everything in that mix.
