Hi, I just got my July/August Absolute Sound. There is a speaker review: Monitor Audio Gold 300 Loudspeaker -Style Meets Substance by Julie Mullins. She must have read this subject I posted because if you read her last paragraph she wrote it's exactly what I was trying to get across here.
I'm a guy and have a Peerless sub-woofer that fires upward made out of an old 5 gallon bucket full of cement. Unless I am a master of sub-terfuge how many women would like that in the living room.
If you read that review tell me what you think......have a good day..Mark Korda

i hope you don't think i was shining you on. i was re-reading the review on the gold 300 so i could familiarize myself before opening my mouth.
it sounds like a speaker i could live with easily with all its attributes that she called out. that it ie beefy is a plus but like you, i think nearly all speaker systems can benefit from a capable sub. in my case, it is a fried model H that is flat with tonality to 16Hz.
when the real thing in recordings comes along, ANYBODY should be glad to have a sub with real capability and accuracy. the price isn't exorbitant at ~6k, a relatively low figure in today's pricing.
i would so love to have the $15k carver ribbon and there are larger maggies i would appreciate having but those aren't for everybody. again, at higher pricing than the gold.
i hope this helps, feel free to carry the conversation further.

Some women are great. When my wife and I were buying a condo the number 1 criterion was that it had a big enough room for the stereo and many were rejected until we found one large enough and with great acoustics.
my wife and i ALWAYS considered a listening space, usually to be a family area where all could enjoy those benefits.

Martin Logan ESL's on the cover next month!
The new Yamaha ns-5000's will be on the cover when they come on the market here very soon.
this is the great hope- Hard Rain- to have an audiophile wife ;)
