► REVIEWING THE TANNOY GOLD 5 POWERED REFERENCE MONITORS
The GOLD 5 is marketed to studio professionals and recording amateurs alike. It is a near-field monitor, that is to say that it will sound correct, or coherent when seated close to it in a desktop setup, but it is also possible to use them in a more traditional sense as a pair of right and left bookshelf speakers. The Tannoy studio monitors will work well for a small to mid-sized living space as a standard 2 channel setup. For me? The Tannoy Gold 5 are replacing the Kanto YU as my reference budget studio monitors for mixing.

Thanks for the review I've had these on my desk since launch. Love them. Also thank you for the fundraiser for us Texans. I'm still boiling my water but I got lucky with electricity. 🙏🏼❤️
@@RobberClobber We don't have running water yet, but we have electricity, so it's not all bad. Thanks for sharing your personal thoughts on the Tannoy speakers and for joining us this morning!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews If y'all have trouble with getting drinkable water let me know! Not sure where you're at but I'm in the Buda area.
@@RobberClobber We got our hands on drinkable water the other day so we're good now. Hopefully we get water back later this afternoon. Fingers crossed! Appreciate you wanting to help!

To those who have donated, you've helped raise about $400 since the video went live. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! And of course, thank you to everyone else who already contributed. We really appreciate it.
YES!
Nice to see an audio channel do something positive for the community rather than waste their time on petty take down videos.
My thoughts exactly.
S Paige, you are spot on, great comment!
About 25 years ago I owned a pair of TANNOY C10 and C8 two way speakers. To this day they still remain the best speakers I've ever owned.
Glad to hear you guys are doing alright!!! Great review!! I was really happy when i saw y'all uploaded a vid!!
I wasn't prepared for the reasonable price (even in 2022) - I didn't know you reviewed speakers this modest in price. Nice!
I really like this new format where you get your wife's opinion on what's being reviewed. Sorry I missed her name.
Glad you like it. Kristi contributes a lot to this channel both in terms of commentary as well as just workload behind the scenes. I sincerely appreciate you recognizing her efforts.
Agreed!!! Kristi's input had been invaluable for both myself and my fiance in deciding what we're looking for in sound systems
Hi Andrew, thanks for all the work you do on your channel. I just want to say I purchased a pair of the Gold 5s primarily based on your review and am enjoying them, simple set up with a Airplay2 streamer straight into them. You mentioned no hiss whatsoever but on mind I hear it from about 3 feet away even if I turn the gain all the way down, hopefully I can solve this but overall I really like them, thanks!
nice review. i have the Gold 7's and use them in differing set-ups. i use them with an Eversolo DMP A6 and REL T7x sub (2x the price of the PAIR of Tannoys) in my bedroom/office and 3 Gold 7's + 6 Gold 5's in my home theater with my Marantz AV7706 preamp - all of the Tannoys combined cost less than the Marantz.
i'm extremely happy and have been an audiophile for 30+ years and i've had/heard it all.
Just started watching your content, but love it. Excellent quality, sound, and editing. Keep up the great work!
"We don't need to go there again... yeah, we don't need to do that either."
Always good to hear a Kristi quip and even better to have you bucket washed and back on "air".
I was gonna get the Kanto yu6 for my family room but I had a worry that it wouldn’t have enough power to fill my room which is 16’ tall and 14’ deep but opens into my dining room and kitchen so goes back as far as about 30’. So after watching this room I took a look at the golf 7s and ended up choosing these instead of the Yu6, even tho it was more expensive I am very happy with my purchase. The sound from these are amazing!! Thank you Andrew!
I bought these speakers about 2 months ago. My humble review? They are absolutely gold! I use them conected to a av receiver as zone 2, and they absolutely blew me away. They dont hit very high or very low, but they are dynamic, clear as bells, and simply hits every octave with incredible accuracy. Voice reproduction is crazy impresive, not fatique....you can listen to these for hours with no problems. Bass is tight and aerial, you can hear the bass more than you can feel...but a 5 inch...is a 5.
A 8 inch gold would solve this problem.
I use these as hifi speakers, and they replaced b&w speakers with ease. No background noise at all. They dont sound loud..if you want to drive them loud...wont work because they will start clipping. However, my neighbours rang my door to put volume down for the first time in 2 years. Looks and material..very sturdy...you can feel quality.
I would say they could easily be sold for double the price.
The standby lights could've been dimmer...
An absolute steal!!!!
If you want incredible sound for jazz, classic, hip hop, quite everything appart from electric music...go for them..get a 7 or a 8 inch if you want to drive them harder or if you want more bass.
Value for money? A 10 out of 10
thanks for the review. very well delivered. glad to see experts actually looking at studio monitors as a valid consumer / multi-role option. the combination of an internal amp gives far better results than most random speaker-amp matches. for years I am struggling to fight brightness and fatigue of B&W 684.. Would be great to hear your opinion about the famous Yamaha HS8.
First I ended up with a pair of Martin Logan's after watching your review, now I'll have Tannoy's on the desk. The Martin Logan's really lit up the house, thanks for that.
Finally an audiophile who reviews studio monitors! Thanks Andrew! I was looking to buy new studio monitors who don't sound like a real monitors but more as an audiophile speaker. Because on my DJ setup i want the same sound quality as on my hifi setup. Thank you again!
I would give these a listen as they definitely impressed me. Thanks for watching!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews you are welcome! Looking for the Gold 8's right now but over here in Europe everywhere sold out unfortunately.
Try Dynaudio BM5 MKIII you will thank me later cheers
Sorry I missed this review when it came out. Glad I saw it before I decided on a home theater system. Bravo on doing this during those hard times.
Fantastic review as always, I was looking for a desktop replacement speaker and purchased them on the back of this review. Really happy with the purchase, they play exactly as described. Thank you.
Glad this could help! Enjoy your set up!
Don't know how I missed this review but I'm so glad you made it. I bought a pair of the Gold 7s for my home studio and I simply love mixing on these monitors, that said, I often use them for casual listening when I'm just relaxing or cleaning or just playing music in the background while doing some random task and I agree with you on basically every point you made about them. These monitors are great and to me, they sound and look much more expensive.
Nice one man! I am getting the same ones tomorrow 😊
Hey, you guys are the greatest. Really heartwarming commentary, and as a music producer the first half on the tannoys. very helpful.
The rambling is more genuine. Glad to hear you're ok and trying to help those less fortunate.
good to see an upload from you. glad both of yall are doing ok!
We're doing okay, thank you for asking! Thank you for tuning in!
Hi Andrew, I really enjoy your reviews, they come across as sincere and not pretentious like other reviewers. Your decor is spot on too. I also like that your wife now contributes and discusses her views too. Keep up the great work. G'Day from Sydney Australia
Good to see you guy's back on hope all is well stay safe!
Appreciate that, Eric!
Great review! Glad to have you back.
Glad to be back! Thanks for watching!
Glad to hear you both are doing okay! And so nice to watch another great review Andrew. I just got a pair of Kef LSX speakers, some call them studio monitors, myself I currently have them in my livingroom. I am so impressed! Love the look and sound of these. Sounds way bigger than their size would suggest. Apart from a minor gripe regarding the kef app(s), I really think these would fit perfectly for both desktop use and in a small to medium sized livingroom.
Thanks again for all your great videos and stay safe!
Awesome video and thanks for all you guys do. Glad you're using your platform to create positive change
We do what we can. While I know we're just a tech channel, it's important to both of us that we do more than just talk toys and specs. Thank you for watching and for your support!
I'm also in Austin, it's been a harrowing week. Turning on my stereo for the first time after 5 days was transcendent! I also moved my tv away from between my speakers to get to my fireplace, and coincidentally found significant improvement in acoustical performance
Glad you're getting back to normal and that this crazy week has had a surprise hifi side effect!
right on. i've been covering my tv with a blanket for critical listening.
@@shitsandwich1983 I went ahead and got tv wall mount. I'll definitely give the blanket thing a try, thx
Glad to see you back !
Hope you get the water back soon. Here in SW AR, we were fortunate in that our electricity never went out (a surprise), but three water mains in town went down the day temps got down to zero. Just got water back Sunday morning and shower was first on the list! Stay safe, and hope this was the last of the winter from Hell!
Great video. Especially appreciate the plug for helping folks through the charity. Wasn’t sure where to send help so thank you. Local charities tend to know where the most need is. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you so much for helping those in need and for tuning in!
Love Tannoy! I have the Tannoy Reveal 6 Passive Studio Monitors for my Surround System and will definitely buy more. Love the sound. No “room correction” necessary.
Nice to hear your voices again and to hear you are safe and coping well. These hard times will soon give way to better ones ahead. Texans are a resilient people and they will get through this 🙏🏼.
Your long beard/hair story made me chuckle. It’s been my covid look since the start of our 4 months & counting of strict stay at home lockdowns here in Toronto, Canada. I may not recognize myself when I finally can go get a haircut.
Thank you for joining us this morning! Texas will bounce back but in the meantime we're just trying to do what we can to speed up that process for people less fortunate than ourselves. As for the beard and haircut, I've been cutting my own hair now for over.a year, at this point I may just be my own barber going forward 😂
This is so weird , I was looking at these yesterday and now now you release a video , 👍
That's weird. What did you think of them after your own research?
Excellent review Andrew. Plan to buy some of these for a Korg synthesizer.
been waiting for this review. Glad to hear things are improving for you guys.
Hope it was worth the wait. Thanks for tuning in!
Thank you as always for the great content, but more so, glad to hear you’re doing ok! Thank you again.
We're doing better. Still no water, but otherwise, okay. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic review you guys! Love mine and I went from a pair of $6k custom Seas monitors to these and truly love them. Not even in the same league, but I didn't feel drastically short changed either. They actually shocked me. Super coherent, amazing imaging and full sounding, and the tuning options with the treble and bass controls really help adapt them to various room and positioning setups. A simple USB interface with balanced outs like an SSL, Motu, Audient, etc and a computer and you have a very capable system for not much moneys. Or go crazy with a Singxer, Topping, Schiit or any other DAC with preamp and XLR outs. They are revealing enough to reward you with better source gear and higher quality lossless and Hi Res music.
For some reason though, they are super hard to get in the US now. Amazon has them and the 7's currently, but they have been consistently sold out many places like Sweetwater, Vintage King and other pro audio retailers. Hoping this is temporary, but grab them while you can! They sell out fast.
Next step for me is an AVR with pre outs and a RCA to XLR transformer. I have a feeling these will excel in a 2.2 HT set up.
Oh and if you run into issues with driving them to clipping, give that bass shelf switch a throw and knock them down 2db. They actually sound best this way in my room and they'll play a little louder too.
Glad to know you and Kristi are back and okay. Nice review on the tannoy. I'm in a hunt for an active speakers right now for our bedroom to replace my Edifier R1280DB which is now commissioned in our office😊
Greetings again from 🇵🇭
Ah you guys always manage to put a genuine smile on my face. Glad you are doing well under the circumstances. Living in South Africa we have rolling blackouts every other month. So I can commiserate on that level. Thanks for the Tannoy review. My favorite speaker brand (currently have a vintage set)
WOW, all the way from S. Africa. That's amazing! Thank you for watching and so glad we're able to put a smile on your face! Blackouts do suck. I had to live with them in California for a bit, so yeah, I can relate. Thanks for watching and enjoy your vintage Tannoy speakers!
Great been waiting on a good review of these for a while and like others said I’m glad you review studio monitors as well as hi-fi because I think that’s where some of best bang for your buck is at right now! If you can get hold of a pair I recommend the focal shape series, they look fantastic for home use and sound incredible!!
"Legends of the Fall" style! HAHA That was great. Another great review amidst all your craziness. Thanks, again, for everything. You two are great. Love your insight and always look forward to the vids. Stay safe and warm.
Thank you Jeff! Appreciate you joining us today!
Another great assessment mate. I really like hearing the interaction between you and Kristi. You both have the style of voice that is good to listen to. I have purchased Q acoustics & SVS products in the past based on your assessment & been very happy with them. I rate Kristi's opinion saying these speakers are not decor pleasing, for me a high quality product has good form & function. Much like the Rolex Daytona Platinum in brown & blue. That thing is boss! Check it out. You must have it!!!! It's an essential item......
Thank you very much for reviewing these Speakers. I was looking for a proper review on the Gold 5 since they were launched. I was just about buying the Adam T5v... Lucky me I was holding back :) Btw, really like your channel!
Thank you for tuning in! Glad you found the video potentially helpful! What about the Adam T5v did you like or what made you almost buy it?
Fantastic video as always! Great to see you guys are handling the crisis so well. Stay strong and safe, guys!
Thank you! We're doing okay. Thank you for tuning in this morning!
Great video! So glad to see you doing something positive for your community and state. I’m in Oklahoma and we’ve had some of the same issues but not on the same scale. Love the fact that you’re reviewing Tannoy! I’ve been using some big ol Tannoys for a couple years now and love their sound. I’d be interested in hearing your opinions on some of their other speakers.
We try to do what we can with this channel. I hope to review more Tannoy in the future as well as they have definitely gotten my attention.
Hmm, I might use these for my editing and gaming setup. Review makes these sound great. Thanks Andrew.
They should definitely be on your list if you're shopping for new desktop monitors.
This is very appreciated. Your efforts and resilience will give you big returns. Stay safe
Much appreciated!
Good to know you guys are ok
I am currently using Focal Alpha 65 powered speakers (also near field monitors) with a little added Presonus Temblor T10 Sub in my living room system. I love them, people should pay more attention to studio audio products :)
Have had the Tannoy DC1 5.1 setup for probably 15 years, upgraded amp and sub in that time but they still going strong.
Having watched the footage on TV here in🏴UK So glad to hear from you guys. Can we extend our love and best wishes to all the folks in Texas and hope things improve very soon ❤
Thank you Gerald, we appreciate you and your support means the world to us!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews Andrew just checking, does the donation page work for international donors?
You know, I'm not really sure. It's all handled internally by RUclips so I would assume it would unless your country has a restriction to donating to foreign charities. Give it a shot and let us know!
Owning a big pair of vintage or heritage series Tannoy’s is on my bucket list. In the meantime, a pair of Gold 5’s or 7’s and any nice little DAC would be perfect for near field listening while working on my iMac.
I always loved Tannoy loudspeakers. My first floorstanding speakers were by Tannoy. My mother still refers to any PA system as a "tannoy". E.g. Like in a train station,"The tannoy just said that our train will depart in 10 minutes".
My first studio monitors were Tannoy nfm-8's.. Moved over to powered monitors after and never looked back.
Donated. Thanks so much for the update and the fundraising you are doing.
Great review as always. I’ve been using the Klipsch The 5’s as computer monitors, but they are bit much low end, even with bass trim activated. I have taken a leap and ordered the Tannoy Gold 7. Was shocked at how cheap they are £440 for a pair, half the price of the Klipsh. The Klipsch will find a new home in an extension we have planned :-)
I have Tannoy Gold 8's, the sound is so unbelievable great. Detailed, clear, beautiful, powerful, 3Dimensional.
I'm thinking of getting the Gold 7 instead, because the bass is sick. Sick in a good way, but a bit much for prolonged listening sessions. It's painful to have to make such choice, because ideally I would like both :P
Enjoyed it guys. Best wishes to you in getting back to normal with the weather issues.
Thanks, Harry!
Great stuff!
Please take care and have a nice week!
Thanks for watching and we're doing better now, thank you.
I have had the Kantos for a while in use for PC. If I didn't have these I would give a solid look at these. Thanks as always for great information. Stay safe.
Enjoy your Kantos, they're still GREAT speakers!
Hi, Andrew! I live in Brazil and I have been watching your reviews with great interest and attention. I admire the clarity of how you present the equipment and its diction makes it much easier to understand for a foreigner like me. I am a doctor and I have photography and audio as hobbies. In my country we do not have this great offer of products as you have in the USA, in fact, we have a very limited offer and with very high prices due to high taxes on imported products. One of the few manufacturers that have official representation in Brazil is Canadian Edifier. That was the reason for choosing this brand for the bookshelf speakers that I bought when setting up my home office. If you could do a review of this brand we Brazilians would be immensely grateful. By the way, my choice was for the Edifier Airpulse A100 and to my surprise, I found the speakers amazing! Best regards!
Great, great video given in layman’s terms. I do love the DC sound, no matter which Tannoy I’ve heard. Keep ‘em coming Andrew and Kristy :)
I have had a pair of DC3000's for over 30 years. Incredibly they still look and sound like new, amazing value for money.
Great review and I hope y’all are doing well from the ice and snow it is finally on melted in Conroe
We're doing better now. We hope to have running water later today with no burst pipes (fingers crossed).
Really like how these look. If I didn't have my vanatoo's, I'd check these out
I'm looking to get a set of Tannoy's for my main system, love the speakers. These would be an excellent set of powered for use on a computer as a set of monitors. I currently use a set of Paradigms with a Yamaha RP-U100 on my computer.
Love your video, stay safe and we are praying for yours and other family of Texas.
Great review! I switched to the Tannoy Gold 5 in March and never regretted it! Tip: connect them to a Motu M2/M4 audio interface and you get a really detailed, high-resolution audio solution.
I use an SSL2 and agree! Plug in my laptop and streaming Qobuz and hires files. Really huge bang for the buck.
I own them for like half a month now, and still like them Everyday. They do remind me a bit of mij fostex fe103sol backloaded fullrange horns, dynamic, punch, the bass is realistic, and goes fairly deep. And the point source gives very nice imaging. They lack some refinement but i mean, for this price?? Nothing to be sad about. They get you involved with the music, that's what's counting for me as a musician my self. Cheers!
First off, thank you for both of your hearts and doing the fundraiser and helping out those in need! I'm in the ATX area and know there are many people across the state that it will help.
Secondly, all seriousness aside, we need to see a picture of this cool guy caveman Andrew or it's not real.
Thirdly, thanks as always for the review.
Thanks for the video. Worth considering, I am in the market for a new set of desktop powered speakers. I was considering the Klipsch, Fluance or the Edifiers. Now these.
Interesting and different product to review. I've not used powered speakers as my main system speakers but have had them on my PC.
Best wishes to everyone there. Stay safe and good luck.
Andrew , regarding Adam Audio, I got the T5's for l/r speakers in my home theater, and they are a BLAST.
you must give them a listen.
in my opinion the ratio of price/performance is remarkable in powered speakers.
cheers.
So glad y'all (and my loved ones all across TX) are safe. I know many are not. Another great review, because it makes me want to spend money 🤣
Don't spend money if you don't have to, but if you're on the market for new powered monitors I would definitely consider these (or the 7/8's). Thanks for tuning in and hanging out with us this morning!
Thinking of both of you and all those affected by the weather in Texas.
Thank you and thank you for joining us this morning and in helping others get the aid they need (and for helping us breathe life back into the channel after a week). Thank. you!
Hope you can get that sorted soon, Kurt. It's such an energy drain.
Great review. I have the gold 8s and they are amazing. Would love to see you review some of Tannoy's passive speakers. Cheviots or maybe even the Turnbury. Would also be fun to see how they stack up to the JBL, and Klipsch speakers you've reviewed in the past.
Can ask you please,for listening of Tannoy 8 through computer no need anything else,like preamp just connect through headphone jack and that’s it?
awesome video and I'm sorry you have been through hard times keep up the good work going to donate and love the coaxial design of the Tannoy's and the look god bless
Appreciate you tuning in and for helping us to raise money for Texans in need. Thank you!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews no problem Sir
This is perfect! I've been a fan of some Tannoy speakers, but wasn't aware they made a studio monitor. I have the JBL LSR305's with their matching sub as a computer speaker set, and now I'm considering if it's worth replacing my JBLs with these Gold 5s.
I have the Adam Audio T7V's for the DJ rig, and like them a lot. I never clocked these studio monitors when I was looking unfortunately. But I am not unhappy at all with my decision. For reference, I came from a pair of KRK Rokit 6 G1's.
I've used Tannoys live and in the studio. Great speakers. I'm surprised that these near field designed monitors can fill a room with sound, substituting as hi fi speakers. Pretty amazing.
They do a great job as non desktop speakers, which I too found rather surprising! If I were to stick with them long term for our main room I'd go with the GOLD 8 but for my desktop, the 5 is near perfect (for me).
i really dig the styling. nice review.
Thanks Jason!
I love UK Speakers, my Desk Monitors are Linn Kan Mk.1 (circa 1984), mounted on ISOAcoustics Aperta stands & paired with a NAD 7140 receiver. Superb review, you have piqued my interest in comparing the Gold 5 vs. Gold 7 to partner with my SMSL SU-9/SMSL SP400 Amplifier (XLR Pre-Outs) Stack at my WorkStation. The Kan's can retire to the "Vinyl" Corner of my Study!
I've always liked tannoy speakers. Thanks for great review. Always appreciate your comments on the hi fi products as I value your opinions. Ps here in the UK we moan about the weather. Without good cause..wishing all of you our best wishes. .good luck to you all.
Thanks for watching and we appreciate the well wishes!
Great review. Top content, great voices on a great MIC. love listening to the review on my klipsch 5s. I'm the guy on twitter with the 5s on funky stalls that I showed you. Keep up the great work.
Do we sound good on the 5's? Thank you so much for tuning in!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews mate your voice sounds buttery smooth 👍
@@kona328WH good to know. Appreciate the feedback!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews You guys hang in there. Wish you all a speedy recovery in Texas.
Dear Andrew, great video once again!!!
I am considering this speakers to pair with my SMSL Ho200 headphone amp and preamp and my SMSL Do200 dac. Do you think this will be a good bet? I intended to connect them via XLR outs of the Ho200 and directly into each speaker. My room is not to big 4mx3m. Happy new Year and I wish you both all the best!!! Love to get you feedback my friend.
Congrats on your 160k subscribers
Thanks!
Your welcome
Andrew, looking at what you've been covering, I HIGHLY recommend you review the small affordable and stylish bookshelf speakers from Cambridge Audio.
That would be pretty cool!
I have the gold 7s and Yamaha Hs7s and they are just as good as each other . When mixing and mastering I use them both and there are no other home studio monitors that are as good as them out there
That's great to hear. How are the Tannoys now? Are you still using them?
Watching all the way from the UK and have been really enjoying your reviews. Your previous KEF LS50 Meta review was awesome - I know it's a work-in-progress for you both, but it'd be great to see a LS50 Wireless II review. Without intending to cause any bias, but I recently got them, but unfortunately suffered connectivity issues namely using Tidal Connect so sadly sent them back. I'm keen to understand whether this is something you might experience or whether I was simply unlucky with the pair I received. Anyway, thank you for again for the content and looking forward to the next videos in store from you both. Thank you
We've requested the Wireless IIs so hopefully we can bring you that review soon. Thanks for watching!
Andrew, great review. Looking to use them as a computer monitor. Q
uestion, how did you hook them up to your computer? Headphone jack? I will be coming from a iMac 5k.
I'm glad you're doing well and Great review as always. Have you ever thought about launching a podcast? Greetings from Italy
We've kicked around the idea of a podcast but haven't committed to anything yet. Thank you for tuning in!
I just want to get these Tannoys, but will have to wait a bit as the dealer don't have these now on stock. I'm now on full active speakers, as I had few amps and passive in the past. Check out also the Jbl's lsr 305p mkii...for the money they're absolute bang. By the way, I hope things are better now for you and also for ppl in Texas. Cheers from Romania.
Which subwoofer would you recomend with the Tannoy 5's?
Hope you both are doing ok after last week. As desk top speakers for a computer they sound very interesting.
We're starting to get back to relative normal. We're turning the water back on later today, so fingers crossed we don't have massive damage. They're great for desktop use, though they're larger than some desktop speakers. Thanks for watching!
Glad to see you guys are okay.
Thank you. We're hanging in there. Appreciate you tuning in!
I would love to see your take on the Genelec 8351B, however they are quite an expensive bit of kit and not really consumer friendly... But it would be interesting to see an audiophile's opinion on high end pro gear.
Hi, nice review. Ho do you connect the speakers with the Arylic streamer? I am thinking that combo also but no balanced outputs from Arylic....
I own the acustic energy ae1s active/dumb speakers. They sound beautiful.
Very good value. Especially the gold 8. All class AB amps across the the lineup.
They all seem priced just right to me as well! Thanks for watching!
I had a pair of “15” Tannoy Arundels in the mid 80’s... great effortless bass, and super imaging. Great video friend
👌🎼🎶🔊
I bet they sounding EPIC. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching!
@@andrewrobinsonreviews...the sound was biblical! But moved to a new house then... and those Tannoys were too big for the living room...I should’ve changed homes, and kept the Tannoys. Nothing sounds the way they did...do take good care. ✌️😎🇨🇦
Awesome review Andrew 👏
Thanks Felix.
Your welcome Andrew
