if you can you should get MONITOR AUDIO BR2 for £200 they are quailty they are worth alot more than £2oo i know because a spent 5 hours testing them with alot of other speakers witch were £500+. I was going to get the MA GS10 for £799 but there was no real diference than br2
I'm shocked you compare the Br range to the GS range like that, but your opinion is your opinion I guess.
The XTZs are supposed to be better than just about any other speaker for the money and there is thread here by a member called Badger0-0 that goes into some detail about them. Drop him a PM and ask him, or read his review thread or both. They are apparently well worth checking out and I really would drop him a PM about them
The other speakers mentioned are all favorites though and it'd be wrong of you not to look into them too.
The MA BR2 are not better than MA GS10 but there not far behind in quailty not £600 anyway
I'd say that more to do with the law of diminishing returns, I'd say they are certainly a fairly large leap beyond the BR speakers. Even my R270's are better than the Bronze speakers IMO, and I found the Gold series a real jump in performance on what I have.
You cant get anywhere near a 5.1 setup of golds for 2000 mate! i dont think u could go with silver either!
Well i tried them both as i had a budget of £2000 for a 5.1 package and i was gonna get the Golds but i could not see a big differnce over the br2 thats my opinion
While I dont agree I will concede that if thats what you feel then thats how it is for you. I guess the best thing from that is the amount of cash you get to keep n your pocket, and I can but only envy your for that. Fair play to you mate , and I'm glad your happy with your kit.Well i tried them both as i had a budget of £2000 for a 5.1 package and i was gonna get the Golds but i could not see a big differnce over the br2 thats my opinion
What you say really hits home. Over the past year (since buying my sub), Ive got into EQ'ing, and started to be critical of my now under par speakers. I cant seem to just listen and enjoy anything anymore (although I do enjoy what I hear), I'm forever critically analysing the sound and being distracted by 'what if', and 'if I did this-then what' questions. I'm always wandering if I can squeeze another 1 percent performance out of my sub and so on.People should keep in mind that buying a speakers is rarely about what is literally best, and more about what you like best.
People always think they want audio perfection, but are usually disappointed when they hear it. They expect more when in reality, they are likely to find less.
Keep in mind there is a reason that they sell so many cheap stereos and boomboxes. The reason, lots of people like them. The sound is far from perfect, but to many people it sounds good, and good is...well...good.
I suspect that is exactly what we have here. Yelts found a speaker he liked, a speaker that impressed him. If he's happy then I'm happy.
As someone else pointed out, there is the Law of Diminishing Returns. Likely, Yelts did like the Gold, but simply did not think they sounded more than three times better than the Bronze. Why spend a lot more merely to gain a little more?
I think this is valuable information for anyone purchasing audio equipment. While many are in pursuit of audio perfection, and spend a lifetime never finding it; other are in pursuit of what pleases them - right or wrong. I think you will be more satisfied with a speaker that pleases you than you will be with they typical obsessive pursuit of perfection.
Just a thought.

here are times when I listen to something and think, thats how I want it to sound all the time and then there are other times when it gets a bit fatiguing and I cant just seem to be happy now. Upgraditus has set in and its like having OCD.
Sometimes I wish I was just happy and could forget about how its sounds
