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.

The Monitor Audio PL-300 II can reveal all the 8 different properties of sound. The Kef cannot reveal a 3D stage on facts. Based on the fact that it is not able to create and reveal this property of sound.

The other thing is that the PL-300 II can create a stunning level in diversity in height of voices and instruments. The Kef is what I call a hifi loudspeaker. Based on the fact that by sound easily can be proven that it misses these properties of sound by facts.

Even the other properties of sound can be filled in a lot better by the PL-300 II.
