Actually, the smaller centre PLC-150 will be on show at Bristol. Not working though, since we are not running an A.V system in the MA room. You will be able to hear a massice A.V system in the What hifi room:-

4 x PL300
1 x PLC-350
2 x PLW-15 subs


I think that should be pretty awesome!!!!!!!!

Frank Harvey in Coventry also now have the full Platinum range

Do you work for MA?

[Baldybouncer]

Hi!
Is there any official MA info on this? Next week I'm buying PL300 but PLC350 is out question, way too big. This PLC150 would be just what I want. Now my problem is that do I buy GSLCR or do I trust this info and wait for PLC150? It would be really shame to buy GSLCR now and then in May see that PLC150 is on stores now. On the other hand it would be really annoying to be without center channel all year 2008 and then just notice that PLC150 never came out.

Well, the PLC150 was on show at Bristol, so I assume it would be out fairly soon.

I had very high hopes for the platinum speakers but came away totally unimpressed. It's obviously not the ideal place to properly demo stuff anyway but there was some kit that blew me away, and it wasn't the Monitor Audio stuff.

I plan to demo the speakers I really liked at the show - and will demo some PL100s as well, since they are considerably cheaper than the speakers I fell in love with. But they didn't do much for me at all at Bristol.

Has anyone seen any photos of this upcoming PLC150 or maybe took one at Bristol show? I really would like to see how it looks. Photo or link would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I wonder why MA is so silent about this. Nothing on their web side.

There's nothing on their website as yet, but i have seen a low quality of it on a new trade price list. Obviously it's dimensions are going to be similar to that of the 100's rather than the 300's, and the driver arrangment is very similar, but lacks the small mirange cone underneath the tweeter, which is placed more centrally.

We've now had our PLC350 delivered and is being tweaked as part of a package being driven by a Yamaha DSP-Z11......it's a serious centre!

[Dave964]

I demo'd the PL100's yesterday. I was more impressed than I was at the Bristol show - and for the price, they were pretty good. I much preferred the WB Discovery's I heard on Friday though - but then, they are significantly more expensive.

Hi All,

Have recently been considering buying some new speakers and am now really entertaining the thought of the PL100 even though they are a bit more then I was looking at spending, only problem is haven't got a clue where I might be able to audition in the London area.

Any ideas??

KAZER

P.S The Denon in my sig will hopefully be replaced with the denon pre/power combo late 2008/early 2009

[Dav1dF]

For those still wondering, we've had confirmation that the PL150 centre speaker is due in mid/end July for £1750. There will also be the PLW15 subwoofer available towards the end of September priced at £2500.

Regards
David

Depends what you mean by London area. Camberley is only about 15 miles outside the M25, and I heard the PL100's at Audio T in Camberley.

Yeah, and they quoted my text. Where can I ask compensation

In February I bought PL300 and GSLCR as center channel. Since then I've been waiting this PLC150 to come. Finally it looks like it's coming, great.

When I bought PL300 and GSLCR I made a deal with the dealer that I can upgrade to PLC150 and will get fixed sum for GSLCR. Good service. Soon it's time use that option.

ps. I've been more that happy with PL300. Those are REALLY good speakers.
