​@@valanceo2166 those speakers are not even in the same league as the monitor audio platinum sorry bud

[@chrisrichards2827]

but even with all that they sound fantastic.

Hello. tell me, is Accuphase's tone block turned off?

[@joshuabrain9751]

Yep always turned off for all my videos

[@erkyperky1387]

Are your speaker stands by monitor audio also?

[@joshuabrain9751]

Yes they are but they’re the platinum 2 model stands. The Platinum 3 stands weren’t available when I got the speakers.

Hi Joshua, Have you been able to compare these MA PLT 100 3G to KEF Reference 1 speakers? I am in two minds between either model? Thanks

[@joshuabrain9751]

Hi Richard no I haven’t heard the Kef Reference sorry so can’t compare them. The AMT tweeter definitely has its own sound to it that I find very natural, especially accurate with timbre. Coming from my original speakers which were Focal Electra that had the beryllium tweeter, I found the beryllium maybe a little more detailed but not as lifelike sounding. I’ve heard great things about the Kef Reference, it would be a difficult decision to choose I’m sure.

@@joshuabrain9751 Thanks for reaching out. Much appreciated. My listening space measures 19.5ft long x 11.5ft wide x 10-14ft high. Which would be the better speaker for this size room between PLT 100 & or 200 3G for all genre of music?

[@joshuabrain9751]

@@richarddegannes2928 I would say the 100, the 200 might be too large for that room but if you can demo them both that’s what I would do. The 200 will excel in bass weight and extension compared to the 100 due to bigger cabinet size.

[@chrisrichards2827]

@@joshuabrain9751 The 200 will definitely not be too much for that room, I've got the MA 200 G2 in a room that's eight and a half feet wide by 23 ft long and it sounds incredible, The 200 G3 go a little bit deeper in bass but I don't think it's going to overwhelm the room but still very controlled bass.

[@СергейТерещенко-ы3с]

Hello. How big is the difference between Gold 100 and PL100? Because both of these models have an AMT tweeter. More precisely, I wanted to know if Gold 100 would be enough to be completely satisfied with the sound quality ?

[@chrisrichards2827]

I think you should learn to set up speakers properly you got a big open window behind them bouncing the sound all over the place and wrecking the center image give your head a shake bud.

[@joshuabrain9751]

Lol settle down cobba, I know they’re not optimally placed. I’ll just let my partner know that we have to re arrange our room cause Chris Richards on KZbin said I don’t know how to setup speakers properly. I know they’re not optimal, I don’t have a choice currently. Regardless, you haven’t been in the room so you really can’t judge how they sound on any meaningful level.

[@chrisrichards2827]

@@joshuabrain9751 I don't have to be in the room Joshua I can see how poorly they're set up I've been at this for 40 years so I know a lot more than you do.

[@joshuabrain9751]

@@chrisrichards2827 well I can tell you they have been brought out into the room on occasions (with a lot of space behind them and to their sides) and yes the imaging does improve, I won’t deny that but I think you would be surprised how unfussy these speakers are, it’s not a dramatic change where they’re sitting. I’ve been at this 15 years mate, long enough.

[@chrisrichards2827]

​​@@joshuabrain9751 that open window at the back is definitely not helping if you drew the blinds I'm sure the center image would improve quite a bit. and also covering the TV with a blanket would help as well

[@joshuabrain9751]

@@chrisrichards2827 yep have our rug over the tv and had the blind open and they definitely improve. I’ve also had them moved out into the room a bit with the rug over the tv and they improve even more.
