When British Precision Met the Laws of Physics

Monitor Audio spent 50 years perfecting metal driver technology, and the Gold 500 6G represents the pinnacle of that journey. This flagship towers above the Gold series with technology trickled down from their $30,000 Platinum series, delivering performance that routinely embarrasses speakers at twice the price. This particular pair, with one cosmetic imperfection that doesn't affect the stunning sound, offers an extraordinary opportunity for the audiophile who values sonic excellence over showroom perfection.

The Technology That Redefines High-End Value

The Gold 500 6G deploys Monitor Audio's most advanced driver technologies in a no-compromise assault on the state of the art. The Micro Pleated Diaphragm III tweeter delivers response to 50kHz with the speed of a ribbon but the dispersion of a dome. The DCM midrange dome provides electrostatic-like transparency. Twin 8" C-CAM bass drivers with RST cone technology deliver subterranean bass with lightning speed. This isn't just another British speaker—it's a glimpse of what $15,000 speakers might achieve in five years.
