Monitor Audio question


I've had several MAs over the years, all in the Silver range. Now I have Silver 6 in a bedroom system. Main system has been mostly Maggies for years. I'm thinking of going to cones just for a change. I tried the 6s and they sound ok. So....here's the question: Has anyone had experience with both the Silver and Gold lines? There are no MA dealers here, so unless I run into a local sale, I will be buying blind.

I also wonder if moving to a higher model in the Silver line....maybe 8, or 10, or the newer 300/500 would make much difference.

If history is any indication, I will buy something and like it for a while before realizing I can't live without the Maggie soundstage.

So....anyone who's had or heard bot Silver and Gold?

@tomcarr Yes I've heard folks say they can be bottom heavy. I would assume the 10s would be even more so. I will definitely play around with the 6s some more. 

I also have Goldenear Triton 1s that I use for HT. When I for got them years ago, I used them for 2 channel. I will probably slide them in the system for a listen too.

Thanks for the reply.

Have had  the Silver 8s for several years now.

They have very clear upper registers.

They have a good midrange.

They are a bit bass-heavy and need careful room placement.

They are a very good value.

They will not image or throw a soundstage like your Maggies.

They will play VERY loudly without strain.

They are easy to drive.
