Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
In that price range and with a ribbon tweeter, have you consider Dali Epicon 6. It is a 2.5 rather than a 3 way speaker . they are also beautifull. https://www.avhub.com.au/product-reviews/sound-image/dali-epicon-6-loudspeakers-review-429960 |
Big fan of Monitor Audio and an owner of same for many years. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the PL300 II's, so I can't offer any direct opinion on that model. You may want to consider traveling to the nearest dealer in order to audition them, even if that's inconvenient, since (1) it's not an inconsequential investment to purchase them, and (2) you'll likely spend a lot of time listening to them over the coming months/years....it's very difficult to make a judgement without hearing them yourself. But, I became a convert to MA's at some point, and have upgraded within their model lines several times over the years. Best of luck. |
@zzrider They did not make my shortlist. I am a big fan of good looks and they are stunning. Also liked the tweeter supertweeter concept. @jhajeski nearest dealer is 420 km away. Love driving my Nissan - but not that much. @ricred1 actually I don't mind being told what to prefer. A minority view to be sure. I used to like boomy bass. I was repeatedly told that was wrong - and wrong it was. |
if you can get a chance to listen to these, run don’t walk. I have a pair driven by a mastersound compact 845 and the sound is to die for. www.6moons.com/audioreviews/rossofiorentino/2.html |
