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.
