Monitor Audio Gold 300 5G Floorstanding Loudspeakers A superb pair of Monitor Audio speakers, particularly well suited to music listening. Anybody who is familiar with the Monitor Audio Gold Series know that they are quite exquisite when paired with the correct setup.Finish is Piano Ebony, which I find far more attractive than the other finishes and looks excellent in person.I originally purchased them to test against my PL300s. I've lived with them for a few months now, and I've found that the PL300s offer more powerful output and are better suited to movies and large-scale home cinema, where
This A$4,800 asking price for the Monitor Audio Gold 300 5G is a strong deal, sitting well below the typical used market where these flagship speakers often hold value near their original retail of roughly A$10,000–A$11,000 the pair. New pricing in Australia is around NZ$10,000 (approx. A$9,500), and recent European listings show a used pair at €3,600 (approx. A$6,000), meaning this listing is significantly under the median and likely near the 25th percentile for used availability.
The Gold 300 5G is a highly regarded 3-way flagship featuring dual 8" RDT II bass drivers, a C-CAM midrange, and the advanced MPD tweeter for exceptional clarity and dynamic range. Its bass reflex design with the HiVe II port system delivers deep, controlled low-end response down to 30 Hz, making it a powerhouse for both music and home cinema. At this price, especially in excellent condition, it represents a rare buying opportunity to acquire Monitor Audio’s top-tier performance without the new-spec premium.

Monitor Audio, a British hi-fi mainstay, traces its origins to 1972 when founder Mo Iqbal established the company in a modest factory near Cambridge, England. Starting with hands-on loudspeaker assembly in a garage-like setting, it quickly professionalized, moving to Rayleigh, Essex, in 1976 for in-house manufacturing. This heritage of meticulous British engineering has endured through expansions, including a 2004 shift of production to China while retaining design leadership in Essex, alongside strategic acquisitions like Roksan in 2016 and Blok in 2019.
The brand excels in loudspeakers across diverse categories, from high-fidelity two-channel stereo models to advanced home cinema systems, architectural installations, outdoor speakers, and lifestyle solutions. Signature innovations like the patented C-CAM Gold Dome tweeters, introduced in the 1980s and continually refined, define its sound. Complementing these are amplifiers, streamers, and integrated audio systems, reflecting a broad portfolio that prioritizes proprietary driver technologies and precise enclosure design over peripheral gear like turntables or headphones.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Monitor Audio commands respect for delivering audiophile-grade performance at accessible price points, blending relentless innovation with timeless British craftsmanship. Over five decades, it has solidified its status as a global juggernaut, appealing to discerning buyers seeking refined, dynamic sound without boutique exclusivity or vintage nostalgia.
