Desktop Speakers - New Tannoy Golds versus Adam, Vanatoo etc


Looking to buy some new desktop speakers for a smallish desk in my office.  I have a calyx coffee dac.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the new Tannoy Gold desktop monitors:  https://darko.audio/2019/10/tannoy-goes-for-active-gold/

The Vanatoo transparent zero speakers are also highly reviewed.  I've also heard good things about Adam audio.  Budget is around $300-400.  Not interested in audioengine.

If anyone has got some suggestions it would be highly appreciated.  I will mostly be streaming bbc radio 6 and electronic dj mixes so some deep bass wouldn't go a miss.

Appreciate your time,
Paul

Hmmm - Not much support for Tannoy so far - so I'll just say...

I have been a fan of Tannoy for a very long while - I've auditioned a few of their models and always found them to be very nice.

I've recommended models with the dual concentric drivers to a couple of people that still have them and are very satisfied.

Personally - I purchased a complete set (front, centre and rear) of their Fusion model for my A/V surround system and still have them after 16 years and they still sound every bit as good as they day I purchased them

I find the smaller Tannoy very musical and smooth, without the brightness sometimes experience from other brands

Alas - I have not heard the Gold, but Tannoy seldom releases a product without a lot of testing.

Tannoy have been making speakers for a very long while, so I trust their products - the Dual concentric design produces vert clear music with exceptional imaging

Hope that helps
