AXPONA (Audio Expo North America) 2023 has come and gone and we were thrilled to showcase Monitor Audio's NEW Platinum Series 3G for the first time in the US!
In Room 302 of the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center, the Platinum 200 3G and Platinum 100 3G made their US debut, joined by Roksan's award-winning Attessa Streaming Amplifier and Attessa Turntable.
Rogier van Bakel from Stereophile stopped by for a listen and said,
"Up top, Monitor's third-generation micro-pleated diaphragms (MPD IIIs) are intended to provide equal directivity horizontally and vertically, resulting in airy treble, very good dispersion, and an impressively wide soundstage."
"Via the Monitor Platinum 200 3Gs, Yello's 'The Expert' and Dominique Fils-Aimée's ubiquitous 'Birds' sounded exceptionally clean and well-controlled, with class-leading articulation."

James Larson from Audioholics also stopped by our room to hear the new Platinum Series 3G.
"One of the more impressive sounds at the show... The Platinum 200 3G put out a broad but precise soundstage with some very focused imaging along with a nicely balanced tonality."
"Not only did they sound gorgeous, but they also looked great too. The gloss ebony finish was well-suited for the size, shape, and driver appearance."
