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.

dear Audiodoctor,

You use 5 parts how to create an audiosystem. But...the facts still proof that they do not know and understand the properties of all the different parts of tnji system. Choices will be pure in random order.

They set up different loudspeakers. For example the Platinum 200 II. They still cannot read the DNA/properties of the loudspeaker. I know the DNA of many brand and loudspeakers.

Tru-Fi can proof easily that most created systems are incomplete on facts. This means it is very easy to let people hear the parts which are missing.

I also did a lot of research in cables in over 20 years of time. Even cabel brands have their own DNA/properties.

Buth when you ahve no idea what the properties are of this cable, you are still making any decision by trial and error. You will listen to the endresult and you still have no F.idea about the different properties of each part in that system.

Even without understanding the properties, sound is evne so much more complex. I spend the msot time in the last 8 years on the acoustics. Based on the fact that this part has the biggest influence on the sound and stage of any audiossytem.

But in 2015 I started to do again research in electricity. I did spoke many different specialists during these tests and research period. I fouces on 3 parts also; smog, magnetism and high frequent noise. Now in 2018 I can limit these negative aspects on sound and stage a lot. 

People have no F.idea how extreme negative these parts can influence both sound and stage. Like is also influeces vision negatively which we also tested.

I will never give the names, but most cable brands are not able to reveal all the different properties of sound. But people have no idea what the properties are of the cabels they buy. Due to the fact that trial and error will never give them this information.

I had contact with Desmo]nd Harrington in the past for many years. I was surprised that even they work by trila and erro. And they have no idea about the dna/properties of other brands and loudspeakers.

Again they also can use ans get access to s limited level of their own made stuff. Due to the fact that I could see that they use brands and products which are incomplete on properties.

But they also cannot think in properties. I owned many Pass labs momnos and amps in the last 9 years. I owned the XP-20 for some time. But I was able to create a superior level with the modified Onkyo PR-SC5509 with our own measurement.

It was able to reveal more layers and details in the whole freq. range. And Desmodn wanted to buy a 5509 himself. But I had to laugh and wrote; this doesn't make sense at all. You do not own my brians so you cannot use my insight. Only when you can think and work by properties and you onw a photographic mmemory as I do you could understand it.

It took me many years and thousands of tests and hours to be abel to think in properties. Because I knew in 1998 that this is needed to understand audio. 2,5 years ago I started to do vision the same way. It give the same endresults. Which is superior to anything.


Boy high end audio brings out some interesting characters.

I think we need to invoke an audiophile Poe's Law for certain...ahem...contributions. ^^^^

;-)
English is not my language. And I write down what I think. The english text which we use for the website are being grammatically adjusted by a person who is exeptional in the english language.

At the end you undersrand what I write. I seldom write back what i wrote overhere. I do not have time for that. Sometimes I make some time for it. It is fun.

Ofcourse I understand that the things I write can be F. irritating. This is more due to the fact that they cannot use it how we can use it.

I hope that you will understand that trial and error is very ineffective. All my clients now understand that it has no foundation. Like they will never do audio by trial and error again. They all know how limited the system was they owned before.

We are discussing now how we will use Tru-Fi for as many other people as possible. The people I spoke(who also work in audio) with all agree that audio needs to change.They all can see that the market is getting smaller each single year.

Trial and error will not solve this. I even think that trial and error is one of the biggest reasons why audio is having a hard time. When we meet new clients their systems are so poor. And they money they spend on it, never will be worth it.

I see no change by trial and error that people will get value for money. The facts proof over and over again that these systems are not that good. Many new clients use their systems not that often anymore,

This can be explained on how our emotion works. Tru-Fi brings these people to a world they never experienced before. They only listened to systems which are 2D in over 99%. And which miss even more different properties of sound.

No audiosystem in the world what is incomplete will ever be able to create enough emotion that you want to use your system for many hours each single day.
