This sixth-generation Gold from Monitor Audio (6G) features greatly improved crossovers and enhanced internal cabling, making them play more accurately than their predecessors, which we’ve enjoyed having here in the shop for years. Monitor Audio plays clean, with great low-end support so it will never sound chilly.

Monitor Audio was founded in 1972 by Mo Iqbal in a small factory in Teversham, near Cambridge, England. The first loudspeaker the company produced was the MA1, assembled by hand by Iqbal and a small team of engineers. Over the years, the company reached several important milestones, including the introduction of the Platinum series in 2007. In 2016, Monitor Audio expanded its portfolio by acquiring Roksan, an audio equipment manufacturer.
