Tannoy Little Gold Monitor - Vintage Speakers Review at Audio Nostalgia

audionostalgia.co.uk

The Tannoy Little Gold Monitors are a study in transparency and detail, excelling in midrange and treble clarity that can make instruments and vocals sound lifelike. However, their lack of deep bass and tendency to expose flaws in recordings might limit their appeal to audiophiles with pristine music collections. While they can deliver a captivating presence akin to a live performance, the narrow soundstage and bright tonal balance may not satisfy those seeking a well-rounded listening experience. Best suited for studio use or high-quality recordings, they are impressive but not versatile. If you're after a more forgiving and gentle sound, the Tannoy Little Red Monitors could be a better match.

"I use the E-magic Logic sequencer through a Mac Quadra 650 computer. This is linked to the instruments and to the studio via an Opcode Studio 4 interface. The studio desk is a Soundtracs Quartz (32 Channel, the little one), Quad amp and Tannoy Little Gold speakers. I have an Otari MX-80 24 track 2" tape recorder which I mix onto DAT via a Soundtools hard disc editor. (An Atari version so it will have to go soon). I wired the room myself and, surprisingly, it works quite well."
