Monitor Audio Gold 300 (5G) vs Monitor Audio Platinum 200 II

The Platinum 200 11's will be the better speaker.

actually I've heard them in my house I had the gold 300 G5 here and they sounded phenomenal I was going to buy them but I had to drag them into position and one of the feet actually ripped out of the speaker so I decided to try the platinum 200 ll, Boy what a difference as good as the gold G5 are The platinum were even better I would say that the gold 300G5 is about 80% as good as the platinum 200 ll.

@Imcmalo: So you say the midrange of the Gold is from a newer generation, better?

I have PL200ii, have many data points but not versus gold 300.   This is interesting, the platinum already have smallish  mid driver but those gold take it to a new level.   2.5 is bizarrely small.   I understand that the reason is that the MPD tweeters low range is rather high.   The gold seems to use same MPD driver.   If I would audition the gold, I would focus on kids and voices.

Sounds like you get what you pay for. I'd love to hear them as well. No dealer here.

I am curious about the difference of sound considering the stiffness of the enclosure (the platinum's weight is higher) and the difference of the drivers for high frequencies and midtones.

I once have auditioned the Gold 200 versus the Platinum 200: the mids of the Platinum had more 'airiness' (probably because of the bigger mid driver of this speaker), I only have heard the Gold 300's but I didn't notice it then.

The Platinum's went deeper and tighter (concerning the lowest frequencies) than the Gold 200's.

I agree with b_limo. I've had a few models from the Silver line over the years. Impressive speakers and the build quality is off the charts.

Hi Vhond! I haven’t heard either but I had some Gold GX50’s and I have seen both speakers you asked about.

I’ve read that some people prefer the 4g’s ribbon tweeter over the amt of the 5g.

Between the 2 you mention, I imagine that the platinums will be a smoother, more refined delicate sound.

I don’t ghink Monitor Audio gets the love they deserve.  The Gx50’s I had were awesome little speakers and possibly the best built speakers I’ve owned.  

So nobody has heard these speakers side by side?
