Monitor Audio: audiophile quality?????


I very rarely find any discussion regarding Monitor Audio speakers. I am thinking of the Gold Reference series. Are they just good for home theater and not thought of very highly for music only?

I have a pair of Monitor Audio Studio 6 speakers, and a friend of mine has a pair of Studio 20 speakers from the early 1990's, both are excellent and still sound the same. They are definitely audiophile speakers, very neutral and revealing, and musical. You have to match them properly with the rest of your system because they will show flaws in your other equipment. I also bought a pair of Silver 500 speakers, and they are excellent for the price. The older Studios were made in the UK and the new models are made in China. Because of this the price is a lot lower and more affordable. The quality sems to be the same with newer technology. The cabinets are as beautiful as ever with the veneer of each speaker a mirror image of the other as they always were.
