Monitor Audio Platinum PL200
Class A - Restricted Extreme LF,
Stereophile Recommended Components, April 2010
"From a distance, it looks much like any other floorstander. But get closer, and you'll see that the fit and finish are of a quality far higher than the norm. The wood finish (Santos Rosewood on the review samples) is impeccable: smooth, with a gloss that indicates multiple coats of varnish, each coat (of 11, I'm told) polished to perfection. Joins in the veneer are invisible."
"I heard details of orchestration that simply had not been apparent before."
"The PL200 also sailed through my other tests of resolution."
"Soundstaging was simply superb: wide, deep, and precise in the spatial definition of sonic images on the stage."
"When it came to transparency- defined as an absence of coloration or a distinctive "speaker sound" added to the music being reproduced-the PL200 once again performed like a champ."
"Many speakers must be driven to high levels to get much of a sense of dynamic contrasts-not so the PL200. Some of my most memorable times with the Monitors were when I listened at night, with the volume set to what most people would consider a background level. The PL200 maintained its resolution at this level-even the softest musical passages had the appropriate dynamic variations."
".... the PL200 is by no means cheap, but neither is it crazy-priced-the price is justified by the design, the quality of components, the obvious care taken in manufacturing, and, most of all, by the sound. It's a lovely speaker."

'This top quality speaker features a cunningly shaped enclosure dressed in top quality veneer. Exceptional mid and treble voicing gives an open and neutral character.'

‘Unashamedly luxurious with a high price to match, the PL200 nevertheless represents fine value given the immaculate finishand attention to detail..it delivers explicit, full-range sound in abundance and thus comes heartily commended.'
