In Reply to: Where are you drawing this line? Is McIntosh an audiophile product? posted by Don T on April 17, 2007 at 20:28:48:
The Gold's were an affordable alternative at, what, $2100, to "audiophile" speakers. It did 80% of what a B&W 801 would do, for instance. I'm not trying to build them up or tear them down and you can't decide which you'd like to do! I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I can't make any sense of your posts. The Golds were great, high value speakers then, but by today's standards, they'd fall short in many areas, just as most speakers of that era would. NHT 2.9s were better audiophile speakers as they were notably more precise, but weren't as fun or forgiving. Golds like to be turned up and rocked out. And please, Polk 10Bs?!? They're not even close to a Gold. 10Bs were truly awful speakers by comparison. I used to have to sell those things and they sucked back then. That's why I can't understand what you're trying to get at! Most of your descriptions only make sense if you're trying to judge a 10+ year old speaker as though it were being built today. That makes no sense. And comparing to a Polk 10B is just ludicrous. Or even the Mini. The Gold is clearly better than the Mini in every way except maybe imaging and only because of its smaller baffle.Still confused here!!!!
