In this fantastic review by AVForums, Matthew Eisengruber dives into a 5.1 speaker package that includes Monitor Audio's award-winning Gold Series with a new Anthra Series subwoofer.
Winning the 'Recommended' Award from AVForums, Matthew praised the package's fantastic speech intelligibility, near zero ear fatigue, elegant aesthetics and highly configurable sub EQ.
"For movies it created a very big, yet accurate sound presentation that allowed the speakers to fade into the background and immerse you in the scenes."
"Music was genuinely impressive, never losing composure yet completely engaging. Use of almost identical componentry and materials between the speakers meant tonality, timbre, etc. were all on point."
"Broccoli by DRAM and Lil’ Yachty has a particular unique bass line sound that under a less capable system can sound like a blown woofer. The Anthra produced this unique bass, never breaking a sweat."
"The Monitor Audio Gold with Anthra subwoofer package possesses a sophisticated aesthestic, tidy footprint, uses interesting materials and maintains an elegance about them...The sound is pleasant but can be bold when the volume is raised while always remaining on balance."
