Monitor Audio Gold Reference 20 Floorstanding Speakers

Monitor Audio Gold Reference 20 Floorstanding Speakers 

DESCRIPTION

More compact than the Gold Reference 60, the three-way Gold Reference 20 nevertheless packs a massive punch. Its unique dual cavity cabinet design is a variant of that used in the larger Gold Reference 60. Puresound crossover technology allows the mid-band section to have a wider frequency window than usual. The result is stunning clarity and purity right across the audio spectrum allied to superb integration and musical presentation.

Strength:

Insight, depth. Sweeter than diabetic's wee wee.

Weakness:

Wish the edges of the cabinet weren't so square.

Managed to get a pair of these secondhand. I think the bloke that sold them to me hadn't run them in properly, because it took ages for them to loosen up. Please see my review of the GR10's - these sound the same (bleedin' wonderful), but with even more low end. I'm now using a Musical Fidelity A3 amp with Rotel CD player, and VDH cables. These seem to be an even better match than the Cyrus stuff I used to have. May be something to do with the more powerful amp.

Strength:

Size, Design, Sweet SOund

Weakness:

None so far

What can I say. These speakers are SWEET. The best I have ever heard and I auditioned plenty. Blows away my old Paradigm Studio 100'sv2 easily. These things are beautiful. They dissapear and are so smooth and detailed. Formusic they are unbeatable in this price range. Nothing comes close, except maybe the Ref 60's at $1000 more.
