actually you're wrong there The new golds have a composite driver the same as the platinum just not as technically advanced. The cone is made up of C-cam on the front and carbon fiber on the back and Nomex in the middle but it doesn't have the DCF filter in it like the platinums do I don't think.
you make a decision yet? 😜 I haven't heard a monitor audio speaker in years since no dealers nearby. Thought maybe trying a used Gold floor model to whet my whistle lol
Not yet, in Brazil the prices are very similar but to drive the Gold 100 I will need a good amp, the Silver are the best for the price, you can´t beat them and they are excellent.
@@GramophoneMD also another thing I did with my gold G4 I changed the internal wiring from the silver plated cheap OFC wire to OCC single crystal wire I got about a 15% improvement in everything right across the board I'm going to be doing that to my platinum 200 g2s as soon as the warranty runs out.
@@GramophoneMD I wanted to tell you about something else that's a real game changer It's called the Townshend podiums they isolate vibration down to three Hertz and it's the biggest upgrade I've ever made in my system It's like I upgraded to more expensive electronics it was mind-blowingly better.
As a Brit I'd love to know what the differences are in sound signature between the Monitor Audio Gold 200 bs the KEF R7's for example.
2:24 the midrange in the gold is just a C-Cam dish; it's the Platinum that has the RDT composite mid
Thank you for your comment

just to correct you it's a micro pleated diaphragm not a monitor pleated diaphragm.
Thanks Chris, sometimes in the heat of filming you say something you don't even realize you said... :-)
