I had a pair of the Gold around 1988 or so.
I powered them with 200 watt mono block solid state amps.
I thought it was moving forward in sound from a pair of Vandersteen 2c,but it wasn't.
The Vandersteens are still a bargain and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to them with the newer edition.
I can't say that about the Golds.
PSB has come along ways also, and todays newer PSB speakers are also a good buy.
I haven't heard them however.
I have heard the newer Vandies.
