£ 800 a pair
£ 1100 for three - used these myself as L/C/R in a High End AV System feed directly from a 7.1 AV Precessor
The Tannoy AMS 8As are truly superior monitors. As I mentioned earlier, these are tools. As a mixing tool, they are difficult to get accustomed to, because your preconceived ideas about monitoring are being challenged by a solution that is truly “tool”-oriented. They require discipline, perseverance and a belief that they really are the truth.
For the serious working engineer/producer, truthful reproduction is a good thing as it demands that you improve your technique and become a better engineer. Frankly, I’m not interested in “warm and fuzzy.” I’m interested in improving as a professional. Studio monitors are a lot like human beings: You must live and work alongside them for some time before you can draw a fair portrait of their qualities and imperfections. These monitors will not be returning to the factory.
