True story: I bought my Silver RX8's about 5 years ago, they've been in the same spot in my music room since day one. Decided to pull the grills off, wife came down and asked where the speakers came from!
Would the Gold 200's provide good sound to a 12x15ft listening room with an open area rear wall? Driving with Anthem MCA 325 gen2 power amp. Feedback appreciated 👍🏿
Hi very nice review. I current have a pair of Silver 200s and a Center C150. As I listen more to stereo and less movies, I am thinking of going up to the Gold 200s but I want to hang on to the C150. Can I make it blend?
Hello, how about this and the prima luna dialogue pre/power? Does it match well? And compairing with the focal kanta 2, does it realy explains and justifie the price diference (same amp)?
I have the MA Gold 300’s dark walnut too and I love em. I’m driving them with an Anthem MRX 1120 but I’d love to try a dedicated amp one of these days. I’m using two Velo DD10’s for bass because as you said, they are weaker on bass than full towers. I love the clarity of these speakers for vocals and instruments.
I just heard these today. Pretty amazing sounding for the size. I was really at Monmouth Stereo on the Jersey Shore to listen to the Silver 200 and couldn’t resist - there really is no comparison. The Gold 200 is a really exceptional sounding speaker - extremely detailed and smooth treble, low end that just seems disproportionate for their size. I stopped before I was tempted to buy something out of my price range lol
Hello, I have the pl 100 stand in a small room, you are quite right. Live in Belgium, the country that your president knows well. So visit your store will not be. Best Regards Phil
"spanked her fanny" Argh, Fanny means something very different in Australia clearly lol. I have auditioned the full size version of these speakers and they sound SERIOUSLY good, and I agree, leave off the grills, I much prefer to see the speakers.
Had these for a number of years and these are absolutely fantastic. They play everything as well. Piano black. Indeed, you don't need a subwoofer with these Lol.
I've tried Rotel integrated, Peachtree and Primaluna's mid and top of the line integrated. Primaluna was by far my favorite, and the tubes look awesome. The Rotel sort of clashed with it, even though I love Rotel for my Harbeth P3ESRs. Peachtree matched better with LS50s. I'd go with Primaluna.
Right, so 'gals' are calling up all the time looking for bookshelf speakers ? It would seem that we've discovered the mythical female audiophile, a creature so rare that they're usually only found on the side of the counter that gets paid for nodding and smiling at all the right moments ;)
Do what I did get rid of my wife!!!! and buy the biggest baddest set of speakers you can find preferably a pairing of Klipsch or Legacy Believe me you'll like the sound that's coming from those speakers rather than her mouth
I don't want to judge, but I can't help from reading ur comment.. you'd rather get rid of your wife than compromise with a different (smaller and less expensive likely) design and enjoy quality music with the person you wanted to spend the rest of ur life with...? SMH... to each his own I guess. I just feel like some priorities are completely backwards these days
@@scaf_007vs3 Well you are judging me and that's okay cuz God gives you five senses to be able to do that But take it from me I am the owner of my own craning company, And my income is just a little bit over 2 million a year, with that being said I can afford all the goodies / toys I want I bought a 5000 square foot home did not have to compromise, I bought a badass diesel F250 4x4 truck did not have to compromise. I bought a badass boat 24ft did not have to compromise, so why the fuck would I compromise when it comes to my stereo which I like better than all my toys!!! It's compromising pussies like you that get hurt when they find their wives in bed with me with 11in of strong manhood I'm an ex marine Corps Lieutenant we don't compromise we buy shit we want, Remember life's motto wives are optional but a good pair of Legacy speakers or not LOL

all I know is, Monitor Audio was the best for me. To my ears, they sounded twice as good as everything else I heard in their price range.
Same here, listened to about 25 pairs in the listening room on my own amp. This one beat them all lol
Still loving my GS60 Golds after a decade.
Thank you for the video
Dude I LOVE your attitude if i didn't live in Upstate NY Id be all over your store

🤣 dude!
Lol
That deserves the UA-cam post of the year award! You WON! LMAO! And I can relate.
I have both the RX8 and Gold 200 and trust me, the RX8 sounds much better.
Yeah i have gold 50. On the look side this magnetic grill is fantastic idea. There are no ugly screws on a front. Great looking and sounding speakers

Hi Kevin. What do you think about the Gold 300’s?
Hello, how about this and the prima luna dialogue pre/power? Does it match well? And compairing with the focal kanta 2, does it realy explains and justifie the price diference (same amp)?

I love the clarity of these speakers for vocals and instruments.
Monitor Audio, great speakers company
My first ones were the studio 2 gold and still love them
Please could you review the silver 200's and how far off the Golds they are?
Yes he is better than the Focal 936, is also more expensive.
Of course, Focal also makes beautiful speakers.
Best Regards Phil
Can you help me get the tweeters. I have the same speakers but the tweeters are damaged. I am from India.
I just heard these today. Pretty amazing sounding for the size. I was really at Monmouth Stereo on the Jersey Shore to listen to the Silver 200 and couldn’t resist - there really is no comparison.

What PrimaLuna integrated would you recommend to pair with this speaker?
Hello,
I have the pl 100 stand in a small room, you are quite right.
Live in Belgium, the country that your president knows well.
So visit your store will not be.
Best Regards Phil
This look better than the new ones
"spanked her fanny" Argh, Fanny means something very different in Australia clearly lol. I have auditioned the full size version of these speakers and they sound SERIOUSLY good, and I agree, leave off the grills, I much prefer to see the speakers.
They go back on when I'm not listening. Don't want dust buildup and it helps just a little to prevent damage
about to buy the monitor audio gold 300's, i currently own the gold 100's and they sound fantastic
How are they? Did you buy them? I have the 4g gold 100s.
Why are you changing then?
Wife : You gotta get a bookshelf speaker because its small.
Me : You always said it was small, why not try a large speaker.
Me: don't miss your flight.😎
Won’t the Kef R500 or 700 be about the same with regards to low end?
If your have a significant other that says i don't wanna see them speakers, you bring out the divorce papers ;)
Had these for a number of years and these are absolutely fantastic. They play everything as well. Piano black.
Indeed, you don't need a subwoofer with these Lol.
Can you give some tips on placement for these?
With any speaker, away from the wall, the farther the better.
It looks about as tiny as my old Monitor 3's . Even back then they made nice cabinets
love those,i hear their really good with ROKSAN K3 series is that true.?
That is true. I have Roksan K3 with MA Silver 300. The soundstage and level of the detail are awesome. For gold series you might go with Roksan Black.
@@2011Au thanks for the heads up I'll have a pair of those,enjoy 😁
Great review, I recently bought this paid and all you said is spot on! What is the recommended integrated amp for these bas boys?
I've tried Rotel integrated, Peachtree and Primaluna's mid and top of the line integrated. Primaluna was by far my favorite, and the tubes look awesome. The Rotel sort of clashed with it, even though I love Rotel for my Harbeth P3ESRs. Peachtree matched better with LS50s.
I'd go with Primaluna.
My Vincent audio SV-236MK made my monitor audios sound like magic? Everyone who heard this set up was blown away, but what matters is I love it!!
Would you add a REL with these?
@H. G. Wells why
These are really great speakers, just don’t see how you could go wrong.
I have the silver 200s amazing speakers for the money.
I have some on the way, would you say they need subwoofers too?
Is it better than the focal 936?
Reza Dwi Arianto - Yes because of the tweeter. Fantastic sounding tweeter on the monitor audio.

What have floor-standers ever done to the “significant other”?🤷🏻♂️
Fingerprints stay 🤣🤦.
