Monitor Audio Platinum PL300 II review

We reviewed the first generation of Monitor Audio’s Platinum PL300s back in 2008.

At that time, Monitor Audio didn’t have a reputation for high-end speakers, but out of nowhere came a pair of luxury floorstanders that could stand toe-to-toe with the best at the price.

We were impressed enough with the results to use a complete 9.2 Platinum package (PL300s as fronts) as a reference for many years. There’s no doubt in our minds that the range succeeded in establishing the company at the top end of the market.

It also did well enough to ensure that the idea of a £8000 pair of Monitor Audios doesn’t seem strange at all.

Some may be disappointed to note there’s little surprise in the new ‘300s. That fits perfectly into the company’s way of doing things – good products are evolved rather than scrapped – yet, no part of the original has survived.
