Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5

I own the KEF Reference 5s.  I borrowed the Monitor Audio Pl300 ii speakers for comparison, which is still under way.  Thoughts so far:  Both are good speakers.  The KEFs provide a lot of detail.  Listening to classical music, you can hear orchestral instruments and sections pretty clearly.  Background and counter melodies can be identified. Piano music is very realistic.  The MAs do not provide as much instrumental detail but they do have a more mellow, deeper, broader sound.  Which is better is really a matter of personal choice.  As I said, I’m still listening so these are some quick preliminary reactions.  More later.

bo1972,

Please don't start, because with all of your hyperbole the conversation becomes about you. That being said, there are many people that feel Monitor Audio series II are too laid back and as a result aren't as detailed as some would like.

OP - 

Can you tell us about your listening room, acoustics, and amps?

Thanks,

Erik

The AMT tweeter is a lot different than a dome tweeter. And it needs to be used different to get the full potential. We can proof and have proven that we do not have this issue that it is too dark. 

We have proven that is it more open and creates even more details than speakers with a dome tweeter. The problem is that people do not understand sound and music either.

They all do audio by trial and error. Selecting audio this will never make yolu understand what you are doing. You need to understand the properties of sound first before you can understand audio.

We will place many reviews of clients who went from a trial and error system to a Tru-Fi system. We will translate all the reviews in english as well. 

In a Tru-Fi system the Platinum II series is a titally different loudspeaker than peolle know it for the trial and error world. Our clients will tell this in their reviews. 

When I see the systems used for Platinum II reviews I can see the mistakes they made. Regarding the high frequencies they all make simmilar mistakes.
