    Why so little love for Monitor Audio MA5?

    I picked up a pair of old Monitor Audio MA5 over the weekend. Nice real vaneer cabinets that were recently sanded and oiled. Drivers in prefect condition; A KEF B200 SP1014 mid/low and an Isophon tweeter. Little online about them and low resale prices. Couldn’t resist trying them out for the...

    Unofficial Monitor Audio Owner Thread

    I have lived with the Silver 6 for several months now, and love the sound more than any other speaker I've owned. Clarity, resolution is excellent. A two-and-a-half-way design, the upper woofer is tuned via a port high on the rear of the cabinet to a higher frequency (handing the mids) than...

    Tell me what I am hearing - Altec vs Monitor Audio

    ...so I pick up a lot of vintage stereo equipment from a guy via local classifieds. My main item I wanted in the lot was a Thorens TD-166, but it also came with a Kenwood KR-6400 and a set of refoamed and potentiometer-repaired set of Altec Lansing Model 5. Had a good listen to them on my...

    Raidho C1.1 vs. Monitor Audio PL100 - thoughts?

    As the title say's I'm curious what differences there might be? I currently own the PL100 and find it to be astonishingly good - one of the most realistic and detailed speakers I've ever heard, and it has very controlled/punchy/hard hitting low end, though it doesn't extend that far. My only...

    Monitor Audio Silver 6 Speakers

    Now that I've lived with these for awhile, I'll make a few comments. First. Yes, they are a drastic change from Klipschorns, as anticipated. They fit my space better. They have more neutral mids, and a cleaner, clearer top end than the Khorn. The soundstage is a bit smaller. The...

    Monitor Audio "Bronze 2" - Help required

    Any help IDing these would be appreciated, including specs. These look to be at least four generations old (Bronze, BX, BR have come since), but I am having a hard time finding specs, as all "Bronze 2" searches come up with current Bronze 2 models. Can anyone confirm the specs on these for me?

    Monitor Audio Gold vs Silver

    Hello all, Although I was committed to purchasing a set of MA Silver 6 (based on the size of my audio kitty), my kitty may suddenly get larger due to an unexpected sale of surplus equipment. So now, I may move to the Silver 8s. However, the fiendish dealer let me know he can also sell me a...
