DESCRIPTION
Selling these lovely Monitor Gold speakers on behalf, as new, presented in pristine condition with very few hours on them. Its a great opportunity to buy at a seriously discounted price.
Owner bought the speakers looking to downsize his system but a change of circumstances means he can retain his ultra high-end gear so they are no longer needed, the reason for such a very realistic price. Come complete with original packaging and manuals
Looks might not guarantee great sound but they go a long way in showing how much care a designer puts into their product. The finish of the new Gold 5G series is simply as good as it gets; rich pair matched ebony veneer coated in thick flawless gloss lacquer, perfectly rebated drivers with no visible attachments (all bolted via the rear panel) and a clean new footer arrangement with rubber for polished floors and conical feet for carpet.
Stereophile review (Oct 2019) - The Gold 300s were a consistent delight on a wide range of program material. Yes, they're expensive, but in today's high-end loudspeaker market you can spend a lot more and get much less. The Gold 300s earn a serious recommendation and deserve an extended audition.
Hifi Choice - Editors Choice: (March 2020) - “It quickly becomes clear that the Gold 300 possesses formidable hi-fi smarts. The ribbon tweeter’s extension, purity, speed and absence of audible break-up modes makes most dome types sound ‘obvious’. The benefits it brings to openness, clarity, fine detail and harmonic structure is special. The midband is beautifully voiced and exquisitely clean with vanishingly low colouration and cabinet contribution. Driver integration is utterly seamless. When Mavis Staples sings Change, it isn’t just the earthy timbre and heartfelt expression in her voice that thrills, but the sense of a physical presence that connects so powerfully. The spare, raw guitar, bass and drums bristle with attitude and give things a perfectly realised retro, classic feel. And it’s all underpinned by that deep, rock-solid bass, a rhythmic fluency that keeps everything on track and a grasp of dynamic subtleties, as well as the big swings, that are commendable for a large floorstander. Moreover, with the right recordings, superb imaging dissolves the enclosure into a deep and expansive soundstage”.
Totally Wired review - '“If you want to hear your music like never before with quality, scale and an ease that takes you from what may have become a mechanical or background process, to something compelling and immersive, these are the speakers to take you there.”
