Tannoy Gold 8 vs PreSonus Eris E8 XT || Sound & Frequency Response Comparison 

> 12:05 < Detailed Frequency Response Graphs Instagram - instagram.com/digitalstereophony/ Facebook - facebook.com/DigitalStereophony/

My two favourite 8's, if they would borrow bits from each other, it would make a perfect monitor(s). I'm leaning towards Eris, slightly more to my liking.

Oh I see you started to play with the big boys!!! :) Do you plan to put these Tannoys Gold 8 vs the Tannoy Reveal 802???

Thanks for these videos. Could you share the REW projects just to check time response and delay? Bests.

Good good good, thx for so much new Speaker! Welcome back Tannoy, i really like the new Gold Speaker. Little bit to much Bass but with Wall Filter is that no problem. Rooms and Halls so good to hear (for me really important) and overall sounds this Speaker for this Price really nice. I prefer Tannoy more, yes a Presonus User say this but in Comparison i hear more Room, all another details and it sounds better on Tannoy , less 2D, more space for Instruments and so ;) greetings

Tannoy Gold. I'm hearing more bass and the whole sound is more detailed and full. I never realised how thin sounding the Presonus actually was.

Wow very close. On some tracks almost, indistinguishable. However, on the classical track, the Gold 8 is better at instruments separation. I am subscribed. Any plan to test the Gold 7?

Tannoy sounds good .If buying one of the two brands would be a hard decision.

Digital Stereophony, Which of these two speakers is more interesting in your opinion? Previously, you wrote your own conclusions and thoughts about comparisons, it was clear what was happening.

Digital Stereophony how far was the microphone from the speakers?

Please can you do E5 XT vs E7 XT ?

Speakers -> Microphone -> Audio interface -> DAW -> Video editing program -> RU-vid sound compressing algorhytm -> Your audio interface -> Your Speakers -> What you hear :)

That large bump around 4kHz on Tannoy completely ruins the character of soundscape for me (some will sense it as more clarity). I'd say Presonus wins (for studio work).

I think the best comparison would be Tannoy Gold 8 with Munro Egg 150

very similar level speakers - i hear the tannoy brighter, somewhere it is good, somewhere not.

Pretty amazing how good cheaper monitors have gotten! I think I prefer the Presonus.

More natural and close to the original Presonus without a doubt. And cheaper.

For me, Tannoy for listening and PreSonus for mixing

Tannoy are so good. I take them over Vocal 80. What a speaker. Can u compare to M Audio BX8?

The Tannoys are a bit more dynamic and punchy, the the PreSonus' vocals are a bit more accurate. Tough choice. Tannoys for rock and pop folks and PreSonus' for the jazz/classical folks. Both sound great for the money.

Tannoy Reveal 502 (802) vs other speakers and Behringer Nekkst k5.k8 vs other please! THX!

Well thats a hard one... The Eris E8 XT's are very nice and sound very good overall and have a nice stage, you cant go wrong with them, especially with just 500Bucks a pair. But i'd say the Tannoy's win this, especially for the enjoyment of music, as they have twice the power, get a bit louder and are better balanced from the mids to the highs, which gives them the edge over the E8 XT's as they sound a little warmer and brighter, but i think they are also a bit more tight stagewise. Especially good are they around the 4KHz mark, which gives some instruments and female voices more clarity and detail also they dont drop of at the higher end, combined with a slightly stronger bass (apart from the hard drop to the low mids, exceeding even the E8's, followed by the big spike, which sometimes comes in a little strange, here the E8 XT are more consistent imho), they are the better choice for music listening from my perspective...but also cost atleast 300bucks more.

12:48 What happened with 80Hz region? Looks like they don't 'Rock'.

Please can you do E8XT Vs Krk Rokit 8G4 :)

Hello, thank you for your video and the quality of the recording. Is it possible to use the Tannoy 8 as Hifi speaker for living room (40m2) ? and eventually plug a TV ? Do i need a pre-ampli or other ? Thank you in advance.

Damn, they need to get to 8" in order for classical music to sound full and not thinny.

Tannoy play Very Audiophile and uniqe.

4:00 METAL HEAD ← Who is the Music?

Presonus edges out on top 👍

Hmmm I’m confused now I was thinking about getting the gold 7 but it sounds like the low end of the 8s is a bit exaggerated compare to the e8 even tough it’s more close to the source track but it makes the mids to get less forward and overall the e8 sounds more flat. Would really love to listen to hs7 vs gold 7 vs e7 xt plz

PreSonus Eris E8 XT. Definitely.

Golds are not bad but their lower mid bump is a bit "hairy". Presonus really surprising over all with more flat sounding response. Great vid thanks :-)

The Gold 8s are really impressive for what they do; yes, there's a bit of a bump in the low-end (easily tamed by room DSP or onboard EQ), but the low-mids have more clarity, and the mids are neautral. The thing about the highs is, they're so clean and defined, WITHOUT sounding harsh, which is excellent at this price point. Because of the power output and clarity throughout the entire freq range, it makes monitoring/mixing at low levels not only doable, but an absolute joy. Which is something you don't really find at this price range. And any mixing engineer will tell you how important it is to mix at low volumes. The Presonus are good, but I'd easily spend my money on the Golds for the reasons stated above. On top of that, the Golds are also great for general music listening. And one thing these sound comparisons cannot do is give a clear indication of the stereo field and imaging, which the Golds should win, because of their dual concentric design.

Have you tried to acoustically treat your room at all? Looks like you would benefit from a ceiling cloud.

Please! Dynaudio Xeo 10.

The most important part of your monitoring setup is your acoustics, that is 80% of being able to trust the sound you are hearing... after that can you hear what your speak shows and speaker will also not differ as much in the same price range. What is import and what I have found is after you have found a choice of speakers that can show you enough detail... clearly be able to hear things out of phase... how separated things are... etc etc... the next important thing is "WHICH SPEAKERS SOUNDS LIKE HOW I WOULD WANT TO MAKE A TRACK SOUND" which is a odd statement because we often think that flat means lifeless. The thing is, listening to this, I would be trying to make the presonus speakers sound like this and would be trying to draw blood from a rock and actually be adding too much. The upper mid seems to suck in on the Presonus speakers and I would be constantly trying to put that in when it's not actually doing that. With this test, I would go Tannoy... neither would be a good choice without good room acoustics done properly first. Would be paying 4 times as much for the acoustics than the speakers at this price, but that money would be worth it. You can not do this for a living without proper acoustics.

Tannoy gold 8 good for mixing..eris good for recording

tannoy wins hands down,the eris are scooped in the mids but still sound nice,although the tannoys are way more revealing and neutral

gold 8 for music， E8 XT for work！！！

I'm listening to this video on my Gold 8s, does that bias my experience? LOL

How can you make camparisons? Here you are listening to the microphone you use not the monitor!!! You cant compare speakers like that. only in anechoic chamber and be present or in a room you already know

Anyone know a pair of small monitors so I don't go with a 2.1 setup?

Presonuses sound overall much truer to the source, but I'm not sure about details, looks like they get a bit overwhelmed sometimes.

the Gold 8 seems to be more accurate to source at times, but the E8 always sound better to me. the E8 definitely has a high bias for sure

Eris E8 XT - 9 Tannoy Gold 8 - 8

PreSonus= not bad. Tannoy= detail. If you can't hear the difference, don't spend the money.

e5 xt vs e7 xt

please test presonus e44

PreSonus is very underated! Wow.

Tannoy wins just edging out the Presonus!

Gold with more detail and metal plays better.

Tannoys sound richer but the woofer and tweeter seem better integrated in sound on the XT to my ears , which makes the guitars sound better on the XT and overall I think the XT sounded tonally more mature BUT the Tannoys have better soundstage and separation. amirite?

Both of these hit good bass but a muddy mid and high is all i hear..

Tannoy shows you more things than the eris XT

Only Dynaudio. Eris damn cheats. As concerned Tannoys it is comeback with dual concentric but i didn’t work with them.

Gold 8 gives more power in punch due to higher output (300watt Vs 125watt). However, E8 XT with more natural and spacious sound field, in terms of C/P value, E8 XT wins. Good job!😉

The tannoy wins with the coax setup...it's in a league of it's on. The stereo width and depth and smooth mids

tannoy win

Presonus sounds more 'right' to my years. Tannoy's frequency response sounds inferior.

Gold 8 bass sounds unnatural,that bass is loud enough but not deep enough as 8'' woofer

Oh if only the Tannoy would be as fast as PRESONUS

PreSonus Eris 8 XT better than Tannoy Gold 8 which means it is also better than Kali Audio LP8! WOW!!! FUCK ME!

presonus is a bit nasal sounding imo

as an eris 5 owner, tannoy is far better than presonus !

Tannoy BY FAR

Instead of Metal Head try Gojira next time

Presonus

Wow, so I guess for someone who is not a hardcore audio engineering pro, this video has got to be like totally boring, right?

Zawiodły mnie te Tannoye niestety.

they are nearly the same!!!

I'm listening to this video on my Gold 8s, does that bias my experience? LOL
