Replacement for current speakers suggestions

I’ve always loved the Monitor Audio sound, a very musical speaker. From first hearing Silvers and Golds back in 01, even the low budget Bronze series. I finally pulled the trigger on a pr of Monitor Audio Platinum PL300II over a year ago and couldn’t be happier. I was fortunate to get mine in Santos rosewood, and love the true beauty and build of these speakers. The sound quality speaks for itself with either tubes or ss. 

Keep what you have.

Thanks everyone. Well I took the best ears in the family, my wife who has become an audiophile as our blog evolved, so she could listen to the Magnepan's 1.7. Before I go there, I have always have in my bucket list owning a Mcintosh amplifier. I auditioned the MA 252 which I could have as a demo unit at a nicely reduced price. My sales rep brought it to our house on a Saturday morning, hook it up so we could have an in home audition.The amp it replaced is an NAD C 375Bee which I want to sell but not sure there will be any interest localy. Anyway, my wife heard the Mac and it had enough hours on it that it fully opened in our audition. My wife said it found a home! She was right! So in the 1.7 audition Brian had already set them up by the time we got there. He had a Van Morrison CD in his Electrocompaniet transfer. After less than 30 seconds my wife was shaking her head grinning! I asked what that was about and she said, "I now understand why you have talked about Maggies forever! Wow, you are not listening to a speaker you are listening to music!" Seal of approval! I just need to make sure the Mac 252 at 160 watts into 4 ohms can drive the 1.7's with no issues! I found a pair locally for $1,300.00 and in South Florida a pair for $800.00. However my dealer has been awesome for the last 18 years, I rather pay full price to support my local small business and help keep his store going than inherit possible issues from a seller I don't know. I am now doing my due diligence and will probably pull the trigger in a month or so. Thank you everyone for the helpfull suggestions. Martin, Brian says HI. I will call sometime this coming week depending on how badly chemo puts me down! Cheers everyone and a happy Thanksgiving to all!

keep the faith !...and the music

Kudos for taking MC to task for his condescending manne

J P Warren, you are a dickhead and as for the clown who thinks he is Jason Bourne, what a dork. Bourne, like you, is not real though he is probably better informed than you.
