Monitor Audio Studio 20SE vs. GR20 or GR60


Anybody could compare the famous MA Studio 20SE with the new Gold Reference series.
Many years ago I listened the Studio 20 and they are fantastic.
I want to buy MA speakers, but unfortunally I couldn´t find the Studio 20SE, so I can´t compare them with the new GR20 and GR60.
Please let me know your opinions and if you could listen both series.
Thanks.

Amongst other speakers, I have owned the Studio 6, the GR60 and now own the Studio 50.
The GR60 (3-way with three dedicated woofer chambers) have front and rear vent ports and are very room-dependent. It's very difficult to control that bass. They are plain - the magic of the Studio series is all gone.
They are great with movies but poor with audio.

I found a pair of the oldies Studio 50 and replaced the GR60 which I don't miss. The Studio 50 has all the liquid and 3D midband/highs from the Studio 6 plus amazing audiophile bass (they're fully sealed).

Despite the aged concept of the Studio 50 and the hi-tech solutions of the GR60, the Studio 50 presents the soul of the music while the sound of the GR60 although detailed and extended lacks that life, or should I say old magic?

Have heard the GS60 and only found minor sonic differences to the GR60. To my hears it's the same plain sound.
