The Gold 200 is the most compact floorstander in the series. As with Monitor Audio's other Gold stand mount and floorstanding speakers, it combines the driver technology of our Platinum II flagship speakers and beautiful cabinetry to stunning effect.

A more compact floorstander, the Gold 200 nevertheless delivers full-scale performance. Its three-way design features two 6½" (165 mm) RDT II bass drivers beneath a 2½" (64 mm) C-CAM mid-range driver with a MPD high-frequency transducer module, backed up by dual rear-firing HiVe II ports.

Gold Series: The Gold Standard

Monitor Audio’s decades of experience in producing groundbreaking, class-leading loudspeakers has resulted in this, the latest Gold Series. Uncompromised in concept, construction and sound, the new Gold Series has been designed to deliver performance to savour for a lifetime.

Performance of a lifetime

Monitor Audio loudspeakers are admired and acclaimed for their peerless combination of aesthetic beauty, flawless construction and exquisite sound. Each of the six models in the new Gold Series has been painstakingly designed and meticulously constructed by a team of dedicated engineers and craftsmen – every audiophile will be transfixed by the results of our desire and passion to produce the best loudspeakers money can buy.

If the best possible sound from a beautiful loudspeaker is your desire, our pedigree is incomparable. The new Gold Series is here.

Artistry in craftsmanship

Monitor Audio has taken technology from its acclaimed flagship range of Platinum II Series loudspeakers and adapted it to make the new Gold Series an immediate class-leader. The high-achieving Platinum II driver has been painstakingly developed and honed to make truly high-end audiophile levels of performance more affordable than ever before.

This remarkable level of audio fidelity is matched by the craftsmanship and engineering excellence of each Gold Series cabinet. From the clean good looks of the front baffle (Monitor Audio’s renowned single-bolt construction technology is to thank for this smooth appearance) to the delightfully tactile gold-plated speaker terminals at the back, every Gold Series speaker looks and feels as exquisite as it sounds.

Monitor Audio has brought just as much expertise to bear inside the cabinet as we have to the outside. A solute rigidity, judicious damping and rigorous attention to the details of cabinet bracing means each speaker’s cabinet disappears leaving just the intended radiated sound from the transducers. The Gold Series resists standing sound waves and unwanted resonances like never before.

This combination of world-class engineering and groundbreaking technology has resulted in a six-strong range of loudspeakers superlative in their versatility and performance.

Features

• MPD high-frequency transducer – articulate, extended high frequencies, yet supremely smooth

• Dual 6 ½" bespoke bass drivers, featuring:

• RDT II Cone technology – specially developed sandwich cone technology using thin C-CAM, Nomex honeycomb core and woven carbon fibre back skin to return incredible stiffness, yet light and well-damped

• DCF (Dynamic Coupling Filter) – optimised to reduce high-frequency cone break-up and further reduce distortion

• Dual HiVe II ports – improved transient response and tighter bass, due to smoother air-flow

• Pureflow silver-plated OFC copper internal cabling – highest quality transfer through the signal chain

• Soft-touch top trim – giving a luxurious, premium quality furniture grade touch and appearance

• Bespoke magnetic grilles – clean visual styling, virtually acoustically transparent

As with every Monitor speaker I’ve heard, the Gold 200’s clarity was almost beyond reproach, and its fast, clean sound was as evident in the lowest octaves as in the highest. If you want to rattle your floor and walls with film-soundtrack bass, you might consider adding a subwoofer -- but I didn’t need a sub to listen to music.

This torrential level of communication is maintained throughout the frequency range, from the textured and disciplined low frequencies to the smoothly shining top end. Kick drum sounds are as much to do with the connection of beater on skin as with the sound of the resulting impact, and the details of bass guitars extend much further than the simple fact of air movement. The Gold 200s are ever-alert to the minutiae, and integrate all the information in a believable and unfussy way.
