My gold 8 was defective, i sent it to the distributor and they tested it like a rat lab for the past 2 months.
( cabinet vinyl bubbling and auto on wouldn't turn off the unit automatically, 2 problem on the same unit, big time lemon. )
It needs a new cabinet and the company as no spare for me. They can't tell me when one cabinet will be available. It's been on hold for 2 months already... I still don't have it back home yet.
I wish i never bought this set of monitors, trust me.
Other then the worst after sale service from music tribe and tannoy usa.
It sounds very good but there's resonance.
Cheers
