This is the sort of video Peter Tyson should be making. Not full reviews but honest guidance on choices. Excellent.

@Peter-Tyson 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! I will always cover new products fully when they release, more to show features than 'review' them. That's why I call them 'Overview & Features' and not reviews. I intend to have a good mixture of new products, comparisons like this one with the odd special video, perhaps talking to manufacturers or interviewing someone relevant. As long as nice people like you are watching I'll keep going and we'll find out what works. - John

Nice speaker selection. Among those I have the KEF R3 Meta and I am pretty happy with it

Great review John, wish you has a shop down south

Unfortunately not so you can't listen first, we do ship all over the UK from the website though if that helps. You can return if you don't like your purchase within 30 days (at your cost). - John

Hello John, excellent presentation once again. I’d set my heart on the QA Concept 30 but you’ve put a spanner in the works with the Sonus Faber now. Any input from you would be much appreciated. I have QA 5040s, QA5090, Rel sub in conjunction with the Yammy A4A receiver. All channel stereo usually but also use surround sound. Cheers.

As much as I adore the Sonus Faber I'd recommend sticking to the QA for your front channels if you already have surrounds. If you mix manufacturers I find it sounds odd as movie effects pan across the speakers. - John

Fyne Audio F500?

@Pressure_23 5 ай бұрын

My choice would probably be Sonus faber, my need for detail is already amply fulfilled by my Genelec monitors

@DG-rc6rr 5 ай бұрын

No gripe on any of these. But I just want to add I have enjoyed Monitor Audio speakers for years now. To me, the brand are easily in this league. thank you

@Peter-Tyson 5 ай бұрын

I really like Monitor Audio, they feature in my other 2 comparison videos. I would have included the Gold 100 but they are £999, I included the Silver 200 instead last time. - John

@DG-rc6rr 5 ай бұрын

Thank you John. They cost a bit more here in the States. The Silver 100's are about $1500. Best..DG@@Peter-Tyson

So John, I ask this question to you personally. How do you think the Beolab 8s compare to any of the speakers on this list? I fully understand that I’m asking you to compare apples to oranges, but I love the design of B&O, but cannot find any genuine reviews of the 8s out there and I’m too far from a B&O dealership.

@Peter-Tyson 5 ай бұрын

Honestly, if I was starting an audio system for myself judging on audio quality alone I would choose the Cyrus setup or something like a Naim Unity Atom and any of these speakers over Beolab 8. Particularly the B&W, Sonus Faber or the DALI. In fact my partner and I chose Cyrus and B&W 705 to use as our main system at home and she works for B&O! Our B&O kit now lives in the bedroom/office/kitchen. - John.

@dcpayne5264 5 ай бұрын

@@Peter-Tyson John, I can’t thank you enough for your honesty in this matter. I may consider some B&Ws and a nice amp instead of the Beolab 8s. And if/when I do decide, I’ll be sure to get what I can from Peter Tyson (so John, if your bosses are reading, you can demonstrate the value this channel brings in helping consumers decide and also generation of sales!) Many thanks

@@Peter-Tysondo you have any recommendation for active speakers in this price range? I love wired speakers, but I’m trying to minimise on cables.

@Peter-Tyson 5 ай бұрын

Hello. We don't actually stock Tannoy speakers, we do stock Fyne Audio though, made by ex Tannoy engineers with dual concentric tweeters. I'm sure they'll pop up in a video at some point. - John petertyson.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/index/?category_ids=27&q=fyne

@howardmallory3288 5 ай бұрын

I think it would be better if you moved each speaker to an optimal position in the room for better understanding of what the speakers sound like.

@Peter-Tyson 5 ай бұрын

When I'm listening I absolutely do that, I have them in the same spot for filming so I can do one morphing into another editing to show the relative size difference. - John
