Just bought these, and they are damn perfect! The looks, and the sound, are just on another level. I have never heard anything like these speakers. Plus they are designed and build like an Eames Lounge chair; the slick looks, and the maximum amount of quality and comfort whilst using. Just like my Lounge, I will love these platinums for ever and ever!
Most tempting pair of speakers. Unfortunately, they cost a bomb here in Asia. About GBP5k. How would you compare the PL100 vs say the Gold 200? Love your vids. Keep it up!
These and the floorstanding version is the first real high quality speakers I really saw and heard in person, they really blew me away with the sound, absolutely awesome but at $7,499 AUD and $16-19,000 AUD for the floorstanding models, sadly WAY outside my budget. Maybe if I saved for years and years I could perhaps buy the bookshelf speakers but that price is Plus about another $1,200 AUD for the stands :'(
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Ok friend, thanks a lot for the clarification. Do both versions have MDF parts and real wood? which part is made with real wood?
Have owned both,and can say definitely atc scm19 The atcs are incredibly detailed and clear sounding,but also extremely fast. Monitor audio pl100 ll on the other hand are more pleasant to the ear,especially for long listening sessions....
Ive not seen them on walls though perhaps they could, they are VERY HEAVY, really quite large speakers, it would want to be an incredibly strong bracket.
I will ask, really not sure I don't have the access to Magico right now like some other brands. I will ask someone connected but I am really not sure. Don't get me wrong I would love to review them but just being honest abou whether I can get them
@@PursuitPerfectSystem i understand and appreciate the immediate and frank response. i am deeply in lust with my B&W 804d2.....but i heard a pair of M's....i almost went to my knees. TWICE. once when i heard them. then again when i heard the price. but the A3....10k minus my 804d2.....thats doable. good luck.
Great review! - What set of bookshelf wuld you recommend to get a better timing and articular respons ? (PIEGA Premium 301 fx sounds impressing compared to price)
comparing to a book shelf like the Bowers 705 S2 speakers they come over faster and more nimble - especially in the bass. But the Bowers dont have the bass scale or harmonic content so its not they are better speakers its just a comparison I am using
Although you sound like you know what your talking about bass accuracy depends on your source material and electronics and let’s not forget room acoustical treatments,so don’t condemn these speakers in there bass capabilities,your wrong on that
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Nah...can't be bothered now. It is good that you do do it, though, so maybe next time. Most people bullshit rather than letting their viewers hear the gear, so you're one up on them.
I always separate the videos - some people want one thing, some people another. I think combine the kit demo videos with the review videos to create a comprehensive overall picture for each bit of kit
Nice speakers and I’m sure the build quality is great, but the plain truth is that numerous double blind test results do not lie. However, placebo affected listeners almost always do. Double blind tests have conclusively proven over multiple decades that given a typical $300 pair of speakers with average electronics versus a set like this, 99.999%+ of humans would not be able to tell the sonic differences between the two sets of speakers given the same source material played at the same decibel levels from each set up. Them’s is the facts kids, despite what the placebo influenced BS artists try to claim! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
go look at the work done by Dr Floyd tool at Harman they studied years of blind tests on speakers and people always could tell the difference between different speaker (s) singular as they tested singular speakers to make their tests even more accurate. I understand what your trying to say but it's not the case. Plus it's all irrelevant as every one listens to their hifi sighted so any blind testing only holds merit if listeners only ever listen to their systems in those exact conditions- think about it
@@dorningarts think about it. If it takes a blind test to remove sighted influence and bias, just having done a blind test doesnt make you immune to sighted influence and bias. In fact as soon as you listen sighted all the bias and influence is just the same as before the blind test - making the blind test pointless unless you only ever listen to your system completely blind and noone ever does that. For other uses yes it makes sense but in domestic hifi blind testing doesnt make any sense it's what you hear everytime you listen is what's important because that's the bit you enjoy or dont enjoy for all the factors involved
@@PursuitPerfectSystem I agree with you, I was laughing at Robert Gardner's comment. I have been in audio for 40 years, and when I hear a pair of bright sounding cheap speakers, I can't stand it. To say there is no difference is just plain silly and naive

They are really good speakers enjoy :)
Wow, very lucky :) I wonder what you are driving them with?
What IS the better speaker between monitor audio gold 100 5G and monitor audio Platinum pl100 II. ?
I do think the Mk 1 version is more iconic; they toned down the look and sound a bit for the mk 2, but I do think they are exceptional, none the less!
R they Different from the monitor Audio Platinum 100 3G ones bookshelf speakers please Tell I'm going All out this Sale time in January for a Upgrade
These are very nice but the floor standing model are incredible but also incredibly expensive. I will absolutely buy them if I win the lottery.
maybe look at their gold speakers which offer a similar sort of sound and look but at about half the money ;)

I am hoping to review the new ma gold 200 soon so maybe look out for that

Dear,
Is the quality of the materials used in version 1 the same as in version 2?
Has the sound quality changed?
From memory from mk1 to mk2 the sound improved but didn’t change much if that makes sense
@@PursuitPerfectSystem And has the quality of the materials improved or remained the same?
@@giliardsilva7952 I think some changed yes but it’s still an mdf made speaker for the chassis
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Ok friend, thanks a lot for the clarification.
Do both versions have MDF parts and real wood? which part is made with real wood?
So... this or the ATCs SCM19s for clarity/detail? :)
Have owned both,and can say definitely atc scm19
The atcs are incredibly detailed and clear sounding,but also extremely fast.
Monitor audio pl100 ll on the other hand are more pleasant to the ear,especially for long listening sessions....
can one mount them on the wall? Do they have wall stands?
Ive not seen them on walls though perhaps they could, they are VERY HEAVY, really quite large speakers, it would want to be an incredibly strong bracket.
any chance of getting your hands on a pair of Magico A3's?
I will ask, really not sure I don't have the access to Magico right now like some other brands. I will ask someone connected but I am really not sure.
Don't get me wrong I would love to review them but just being honest abou whether I can get them

Monitor Audio PL100 or KEF Reference 1?
With the the KEF REF 1 being a 3 way speaker I would probably go that way but the PL100 is a nice speaker too

Pursuit Perfect System I guess it would make sense to consider the B&W 805 D3 then, or perhaps the Dali Epicon 2s
@@PursuitPerfectSystem for my taste.....its mighty hard to beat the 805d3.

where is sound speakers
done 3 videos check in the channel
Be better off letting people actually hear them.
maybe check out the 3 videos I have already made doing that
@@PursuitPerfectSystem Nah...can't be bothered now. It is good that you do do it, though, so maybe next time. Most people bullshit rather than letting their viewers hear the gear, so you're one up on them.

@@PursuitPerfectSystem Seems reasonable enough. You have a link to the listening vids, so I jumped on you a bit quickly, I think.
Oh...the link goes to a website rather than the listening vids.
Annotation to the listening vids? Would probs get you more views too.
