Speaker decision $3000-3500...help

It is very easy to compare. The new Gold speakers of Monitor Audio use new drivers. Material is lighter and they are these days more connected from the centre. This gives them a faster response. So a beter timing.

They changed the crossovers of the ribbontweeter as well. It has now more authority and the harshness is gone.

When you compare Dynaudio against Dynaudio, the differences are huge. The Monitor Audio is faster, more open en the stage is wider and deeper.

Wen you sell Monitor Audio loudspeakers with an amp what can create a wider and deep stage the distance between the Dynaudio and Monitor Audio becomes bigger.

When you hear music by a wider and deeper stage you will directly hear that music becomes so much more appealing.

My advice: just compare them yourself. The biggest limitation is that most shops in the Netherlands use 2 dimensional amps with Monitor Audio.

Monitor Audio Holland asked me in 2014 what kind of amps the shops use who sell their products. Over 90% is only 2 dimensional.

We test all amps on all parts you judge it for. Stage depth and width is an important part as well.

I was impressed by active speakers Event Opal that powered by nearly 500 watts per each.

I have never seen Monitor audio speakers in a high-end store. Plus I believe the mail order company Audio Adviser sells them. I will say one thing. You are a great salesman and you should be a rep for the company. For all I know you already are.

It depends how you use it. These days I only sell 3 dimensional sound. This is both stereo and multi channel. I had many 3 dimensional highend sets. But I wanted to create te same kind of sound for all my clients.

Monitor Audio is the only brand in the world ( in their price ranges) who creates crossovers who can create a deep and wide stage. I can create a stunning stage with all their speakers.

When you use Monitor Audio this way, you can outperform all other brands. Audio is all about shootout and comparing. The exitment and emotion what you get by a 3 dimensional sound in both stereo and multi channel exceeds any 2 dimensional sound. I can send all my clients to any other shop. They always choose for my 3 dimensional sound.

There are smaller, traditional high end stores in the US that sells Monitor Audio. I bought a pair from a store in PA a few years back. Also, they are more established in other countries that don't have so many brands like we do here in the US. Its a tough market.

As far as value goes, I find them to be very competitive with other speakers in their price range. MA is a hard speaker to mess up with. (Keep in mind, I haven't heard any with the ribbon tweeters). For my own personal taste, the only speakers I like better for about the same money is Vandersteen. That said, I can see someone liking MA better, especially if you like the British feel in a speaker (PRAT). MA does that very well.
