If you like Monitor Audio, which I do, and you want to keep it semi simple, get a newer pair of Golds. Gold 100’s or 200’s with the ribbon tweeters. Really really nice speakers… I’ve had a ton of speakers, and golds are awesome. You will not be disappointed!
Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions?
Upfront, this isn't for Home Theater, just two floor standing speakers and a separate subwoofer. So there is full disclosure. The speakers I am considering replacing are 2008 Monitor Audio Silver RS8's.
Sadly, unlike the Neolithic Era of high end audio, it can be very hard to find a brick and mortar store to visit, listen and compare individual components. That's the way it was done waaay back in the day
Now, comparisons seem easiest to get by asking questions like this and finding a consensus. So, if you were looking to replace 12 year old speakers that are highly regarded for their day, what are some brands you'd consider without losing your mind and deciding you need $4,000 speakers? And thanks as always.
