Hi everyone.
I have a passive home studio system with a pair of older (well maintained) tannoy pbm 8, along with an equally well maintained pair of yamaha ns 10, and i’m trying to find the most appropriate upgrade on the tannoy pair.
Passive, 8’’ woofers, similar frequency response and not far more expensive. And of course i would prefer older used stuff. Not necessarily studio grade. Just different and maybe better than the pbm 8.
Any suggestions?
I guess older yamaha passives 8’’ must be pretty similar to the ns 10 (even if they are one of a kind in a way…).
Dynaudio passives are the first that come to mind. But i guess there are more, maybe cheaper and maybe better.
Thanks.

Do your tannoy woofers need a refoam? If so it maybe possible to measure the cone and frame dimensions to try and find a suitable replacement. Maybe some suppliers already have a PBM8 Re foam kit, certainly worth a web search.
Alternatively are you asking what would be a suitable 8" replacement driver. In that case you will have to consider the enclosure type sealed or ported, cabinet dimensions, Bass driver cabinet cut out hole size, plus original sensitivity to make sure you have at least a sensible match.

Actually i refoamed them 4 years ago. Practically they are in very good shape.
What I’m asking is for suggestions on a different (or better) pair of monitors. I’m not so much into speakers-monitors so some people maybe able to help.
Max 8’’, passive, close to pbm freq response and dimensions, different to ns 10, max 300 euros used.
