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.

I have had the GR60's for a year or so and can tell you that they are wonderful and I think a very good value as well. I unfortunately have not heard the Studio 20 so can't make a comparison. The GR60's are very fast for a dynamic speaker, have very good top to bottom response (very good bass for having only 6.5 inch drivers), good soundstage, and at 90db quite efficient (I am using them with 35w tube amps which is enough in my environment). I think if I remember correctly, they got very good reviews on audioreview.com.
Although the Studio 60's retailed for much more than the GR60's, and I've never heard the Studio 60's, the reviews I read seemed to indicate that the GR60's actually are an improvement over the Studio 60's. In fact, you can upgrade the Studio 60's with drivers from the GR60, which some might have done since the Studio 60's had a nicer appearance than ghe GR60's. Buy the way, I find my pair if GR60's for $1,850 (perfect condition) right here on Audiogon.
