@fast It’s funny how we all hear things differently. I have the Ref 3’s and actually preferred the MA 300 ii’. Just couldn’t strike a good enough deal with a trade to make it work for me
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
I own the KEF Reference 5s. I borrowed the Monitor Audio Pl300 ii speakers for comparison, which is still under way. Thoughts so far: Both are good speakers. The KEFs provide a lot of detail. Listening to classical music, you can hear orchestral instruments and sections pretty clearly. Background and counter melodies can be identified. Piano music is very realistic. The MAs do not provide as much instrumental detail but they do have a more mellow, deeper, broader sound. Which is better is really a matter of personal choice. As I said, I’m still listening so these are some quick preliminary reactions. More later.
