Monitor Audio GR-60: biwire cable ok?

Good Day,

I am very interested in purchasing a set of Monitor Audio speakers. My two current choices are the GR-60's and the GR-20's. I would of course prefer the GR-60's due to their bass extension, however I am a bit confused/concerned about the speaker terminals. I have a set of bi-wire speaker cables. Does this pose a problem at all to running the GR-60's? Will there be any imbalance if I run it with these cables with biwire cable? How would I actually connect them: by running the speaker cables to the bass and tweeter terminals and bridging the mids and highs?

Thanks and Regards,
C. Lerner,

Thanks for the info!

I have been looking for a while now for a midsize floorstander. I am on quite a restricted budget and there is also limited choice here in South Africa. I recently came across to very good deals which two dealers I know personally can offer me, allowing me to look at these speakers where I would normally not have the budget, so I do not want to miss out. My choices are:

1. Monitor Audio GR-20 (I think will be a bit bass light, but still an option)
2. Monitor Audio GR-60
3. Revel F30

Has anyone had experience with these? What would you guys recommend? I listen to a lot of new age, classic, some Jazz (Norah Jones etc.), and moderate rock (Cranberries, Sherryl Crow etc.). I like a fair amount of abss but it must be controlled and tight - nevery boomy, but not too light either.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi There,

I definitely will audition then. I thought that the only difference between GR-60 and GR-20 was the extra bass driver? Are there other major sonic differences other than the superior bass extension of the 60's?

Thanks for the help!
PS. I think the F30s are also out becuase of the 10" driver: I really prefere multiple smaller bass drivers to be quick and punchy.
