Monitor Audio Platinum PL200 (Pair)

Just how successful Dean Hartley and his team have been in this endeavour can be measured by the near parity of PL200 and PL300 performance specifications, despite the new design's significant re-scaling. For all the practical advantages conferred by the smaller enclosure, the PL200 surrenders only a little bass extension to the PL300 and cannot quite match SPL and power handling. In other performance parameters the PL200 and PL300 are comparable, proving that within the new PL200 design there is little compromise.

Standing at just under a metre in height (99.8cm x 25.5cm W x 28.5cm D), the compact three-way PL200 speaker features dual 6.5" RDT bass drivers, a single 4" RDT mid-range driver and Monitor Audio's proprietary and superlative Platinum C-CAM ribbon transducer.

As with other Platinum speakers, the PL200's innovatively shaped and braced cabinet is finished in a choice of exotic lacquered Santos Rosewood and Ebony natural wood veneers, and in a rich piano black lacquer. The front baffle is upholstered in high quality leather.
