Monitor Audio upgrades its Gold GS speakers-- not only by replacing the "S" with an "X" but by bringing them closer in technology performance to its Platinum range.
The Gold GX series has 7 models, with hand built cabinets in black and white piano laquer and bubunga, walnut and natural oak veneers. The range consists of x2 2-way stand-mounting monitors (the GX50 and GX100), x2 3-way floor-standing models (the GX200 and GX300), a surround speaker (GX-FX), a 15", 650W subwoofer (the GXW-15) and x2 specialised centre channel speakers (the GXC 150 and GXC 350)
Inside is a new version of the Platinum C-CAM ribbon tweeters (reproducing frequencies beyond 60kHz) and the RST C-CAM bass and mid drivers. Single bolt-through driver fixing improves cabinet rigidity and mid-range frequency communication while reducing driver/cabinet interface vibrations.
Meanwhile each speaker carries individual driver crossovers on a dedicated panel on its underside. The adjacent GX speaker terminals are gold plated, and internal wiring comes via Pureflow silver cable. All 7 models also feature the latest "floating" magnetic grilles.
Finally the series' enclosures are hand-built, with a rigid and curved nature. The floor-standing models' base plinths are made of die-cast alloy, complete with non-slip rubber pads.
