“Perfect”

★★★★★

written by gusgusguswi3i3 on 17/12/2023

I acquired these second-hand Studio 10 speakers a few weeks ago. Initially unfamiliar with them, I did some online research and discovered positive reviews, especially regarding their bass performance. I have found them to be exceptional regardless of the genre I'm playing. Paired with two vintage Bang and Olufsen units via a splitter, I have a single set of speakers but with two amplifiers. These speakers, hands down, are the best I've ever owned.

“Great speakers for the price range! ”

★★★★★

written by SeamusFowler264 on 17/02/2022

I bought these speakers perhaps a little over 20 years ago from richer sounds (for around £150) along with a Marantz pm 7001 amp. These speakers have been more or less in use every day for many hours each day and for a fair amount of that time at high volume. Over the years my musical tastes have varied and expanded from hip hop, RnB and rock music at a younger age then moving on to trance, garage, drum and bass, blues, country, jazz, metal... well just about everything, these speaker just preformed, and very well with very present and punchy focused bass. The treble I found to be upfront, bright and focused (borderline shrill) but not too fatiguing and the midrange perhaps a little flat but not boring. After moving home a few years back and loosing my "man cave" the speakers are no longer in the house but I couldn't quite sell them so they are in the garage/gym. I had owned many other speakers over the years and currently have the monitor audio gold 300 as my main speakers, and yeah these are better in almost every way but they also cost 40 x the price. Even then the TDL's have better bass extension possibly even response, they just lack refinement. For the price I paid these have been one of my best purchases and are the only ones I have not resold. They are a little bulky and lack the build quality / refinement of even average modern speakers, and although I liked the look when I was 10 back in the early 2000s, I'm not as keen now (although there's much worse). I would just say that as with any speaker, AMP selection is vital. I did not find a better paring than the original Marantz. The Marantz 6010 Ki lacked the same presence, while the 8002 seemed to overpower / distort the speaker, the Peachtree nova was far too bright, and many others, technics, Yamaha, MI, NAD just didn't complement the speakers quite as well.

I am enjoying the TDL Studio 10 so much! I have 3 pairs :-) One for parts, one for tests and one vanilla. Did you know that the massive enclosures come factory empty?!!! There is no filling in them at all. I just ordered acoustic foam to bring these 'sleepers' to a new level. Note: these perform best when placed about 3.5 to 4 meters apart.

“Great Sounding Speakers.”

★★★★★

written by McKennaas472 on 24/03/2018

I bought these studio 10 speakers second hand a few weeks back.I had read a little about them on line as i had not heard of them at that time.I like good bass sounds from speakers and the TDL speakers had good positive writeups concerning the bass sounds.I,ve found them to be brilliant no matter what i,m playing.I use them with two vintage Bang and Olufson units going through a splitter unit so i only have one set of speakers but two amps.The speakers are without doubt the best i,ve had.

“Astounding for the money!!”

★★★★★

written by Philip125 on 04/08/2016

Ive had my TDL studio 10's since roughly 2002 running on a Technics SU-A707 amp. Ive used them at extremely high volumes and the sound has always remained clean and crisp. Even compared to more expensive speakers they can hold their ground. Bought for £200, they are definitely a good 14 year investment which is still going strong on a day to day basis. They also still manage to look gorgeous compared to new speakers for more money!

“Best Value Ever!”

★★★★★

written by Duncamax on 11/07/2012

A couple of years ago I bought a pair of Harbeths from an aquaintance. I knew he was very proud of his Harbeths so I asked what he had replaced them with. He showed me a pair of Studio 10's of which I knew nothing, although I was familiar with TDL. I found the Harbeths pleasant enough but nothing special really. I was astonished to learn that he had replaced £1100 speakers with ones you could buy for less than £100 on ebay! I was intrigued, and ended up getting a pair for well under £100 in near perfect condition. I have seen people rubbishing these speakers on some forums. Certainly they are not the last word in constructional quality, but they are solidly built and look very smart. an internal examination reveals drivers with large magnet assemblies and a high quality crossover. I have been trying for years to find a pair of speakers that sound right - at any price. These Studio 10's fill the bill! They are completely unboxy with low colouration and excellent detail without any "nasties". Huge and natural sound stage with excellent rendition of orchestral timbres. They have the ability to make noisy music easy to listen to without any loss of excitement.Percussion is perhaps not quite as crisp and forward as some but is still very good. The bass is huge and digs up deep notes like no other. True - you need to be careful with positioning, but you can always control the bass if necessary by plugging the ports with some sort of resistive wadding. I use long haired wool. You can pick up these for a song and never wish for a better speaker!

good review and i echo your final words. i have owned a pair of these for many years and have never looked back. the positioning of these speakers is important as is the case with so many speakers. i have auditioned many different speakers, many far more expensive than these which i bought new for £200. i believe they were originally priced at £400. i can,t find any others so far that would tempt me to part with my tdls. so enjoy your speakers, you have certainly got yourself a bargain. well done

★★★★★

written by phil1953 on 26/01/2009

I purchased these TDL Studio 10 speakers from Richies of Colchester about 2 years ago for £119.
They look great are realy well built and HEAVY so you dont get any vibration noise.
They produce a superb all round sound with a great bass and theres no worries of popping the cones if you like it heavy.

I can't believe you can get such an amazing sound from the TDL Studio 10 Stereo Speaker for the price.

written by alarmguy on 17/07/2008

The TDL Studio 10 are a lovely looking deep black plate surrounding the high end bits along side the 3 incorporated 6" woofers. I couldn't be a happier chappy with my lovely pair! The only bad point is that they're the other half's reason for most of arguments!

They are great speakers for what you pay for them, they are perfect for a separates system or even a mini system and they will still sound great.

Overall i think this is a brilliant buy for anyone setting up a hifi system for the first time, or even anyone just looking for a bargain buy, these speakers cannot be compared to anything else in the same price range, value for money is the best I have ever seen with this product.
