Tannoy Gold 8's are still a sound all to their own
DodgerEh 14.01.2022
I've had a pair of Tannoy Classic 15inch, k3838 crossovers weighing about150lbs per speaker for over 30 years. My daughter finally got her wish and I gave them to her with my vintage Luxman amp, preamp, and tuner.

I've listened to many speakers over the past year or so looking for a replacement that isn't quite that large. I finally settled on the Tannoy Gold 8 as I wanted to play and edit more music just from computer.

These concentric drivers on the Gold 8's still have the sound of the bigger Tannoys of old. Yes, they do lack a little of that deep cabinet base, but they still carry a decent punch, and superb imaging. Voice imaging is just like having the singer right in the room with you.

These speakers are an exceptional value, and Thomann pricing, service and customer response time was excellent. Just a note, if your bringing them to North America, they come with the European power cable. Just pick up a pair of 10A 120v North American cables and your good to go.

Thanks Thomann, I would definitely order from you again.

Absolutely a joy to listen to music
BidenFTW 06.11.2020
I went from Gold 5 to the Gold 8. They satisfies me with more resolution, punchier, clarity on the bass response. Oh yes those lower notes go deep and tight with impact and slam. Trust me you can only see a significant improvement if you invest 500eur plus on a quality subwoofer like SVS SB1000. In addition to that is all the goodness from the Gold 5: imaging is pretty correct, soundstage is wide, mid range is presented with such clarity that makes all vocals shine and mesmerizing, the high is beautiful without harshness or sibilance.
I can't speak for studio usage. But for music enjoyment. These monitors leaves me completely satisfied and fully immerse in the music. They give me an impression of bringing a concert to my own room. While looking so pretty in my set up <3

Totally WORTH IT!

Incredible value for money
Bartolini1234 22.11.2021
I've bought for home audio. Concentric speakers gives great soundstage and horn tweeters manages with no distortion down to relatively low 1.5kHz crossover frequency. Also integrated amplifiers assures perfect bass control. Comparable conventional audio amplifier would cost a lot of money. Speakers seams to be not very sensitive for wall location. Jack connection with hi-res audio player sounds really great. Golds looks very aesthetically pleasing, vinyl veneer fits well. Only imperfection noticed are single minor glue marks (black) on the front to housing connection.

A pleasant surprise, especially price-quality, after a first audition without running-in, Lumin D1 source on XLR outputs. I was surprised by the presence of the bass (more and better than I expected), mid-point strengths, highs not as sharp as to other Tannoy listens. At more crowded passages a certain lack of precision of separation of instruments, but at the price paid ... well built, even pleasant appearance, elegant with retro influence. Overall very satisfied with the speakers and the services of Thomann
