Monitor Audio Gold GX300


I am thinking of upgrading my speakers. Currently I own the Monitor Audio RX6. My preamp is a Bryston BP25 and at the moment my amp is a NAD C355BEE but I plan on upgrading that as well (perhaps to Musical Fidelity, Pass Labs, Threshold, Plinius, etc..).

The MA Gold GX300's are on my radar. They seem to get very good reviews. I just wanted to take a poll and see how other people find them to be. The RX6's are fairly balanced and detailed as well as coherent. I'm looking to get more bass extension and even more resolution and more refined sound overall.

I listen to lots of orchestral music as well as jazz, rock and folk music. When I upgrade my amp I will be looking for something on the warm and musical side of the scale rather than neutral.

That is excellent advice, Bo. I will take that to heart. More power rarely equates to better performance. It will make amp shopping much easier!
I'm a big lover of dynamics too but that is mostly a function of the noise floor of your amp and the sensitivity characteristics of your speakers as well as damping factor. And the B/L factor of the voice coils to a slightly lesser degree as well.

But I do agree that good Watts come at a premium. I used to own a pair of Bryston 7B SST2's. Very dynamic but I don't attribute that to their power rating. No solely at least.
