Comments/opinions on Monitor Audio PL200's


Has anyone heard Monitor Audio’s Platinum PL200 speakers and if so, any comments/opinions on them would be greatly appreciated. The speakers got a good review in the April 2010 issue of Stereophile. They’re not cheap at $8000 a pair. How might they compare with the new Nautilus 803 Diamonds which are 10,000 a pair?

I didn't particularly care for the PL200s, but I didn't spend much time with them. However their big brother the PL300 sounds pretty darn good. I would think a dealer would let the PL300 go at about 8k. They sounded good on almost every type of music I tested out. They would get a little confused with a bit of ringing in the bass and mid bass notes when you play something like Nirvana through them. The ribbon tweeter may be the finest tweeter ever made.

The require good electronics though!! I think the B&Ws are more forgiving.

Hope that helps.
