What a change in drivers compared to their older models. Those things look sweet.

i'm assuming that's the 100 model ... do you have pics of the 350? (is that the bookshelf?)

Mike,
The pictured unit above is the 300 (there is no 350). The 100 is the bookshelf (2 way) and I have not seen any pictures of it.

I believe the 350 he's referring to is the center channel, the PL350C.

woops ... wrong numbers ... thanks

Actually, as B5I8 pointed out, the 350C is the new Platinum Center so my bad.

hmmm, the bookshelf SRP seems to be at shooting distance from me (i mean comparing it with the GS floorstanders)

Damn. First we had the Bronze, then Silver (I bit), then Gold. Now, Platinum. What's next, Cocaine?
BTW, 100 MHZ upper frequency response. Where the H... did they find a CD with that? And anyway, who could hear it? Damn Limeys - couldn't whip us in 1776, guess they've found a better way.

Now I'll have to take out a second mortgage now. Can't be left behind

Damn is right! I finally get my entire 5 pc Gold system and they come out with Platinums!

this should hurt you the most ... if the improvement from each line is great ... you're gonna want this one

That’s why the name Audioholics is so appropriate.

Sad but true! Funny, as much as I love my GRs I've always wondered what MA could do if they were unconstrained (or nearly so) by price. Perhaps we'll find out. But as much as I've been a Monitor Audio fanboy, when you get up into that price range there gets to be some real competition.

The only way I'll ever hear a pair would probably be to buy them. I doubt there's a dealer anywhere near me that will carry them.

I just learned about the MA Platinums today. When I saw this thread, I knew you'd get upgraditis again.

Maybe you should wait a couple years until the MA Rhodium series comes out??
