Against a new pair of similarly serious floorstanders, A$6,000 for these is fair to attractive, not a stretch. Comparable used asks I found include A$6,350 for a virtually perfect pair and A$7,000 for a very good pair, while a new trade-in listing sits much higher still. That puts this one comfortably in the sensible-buy zone for a Platinum-series flagship.
What makes it worth chasing is the sound: the PL300 is a proper three-way with twin 8-inch bass drivers, a dedicated midrange, and Monitor Audio’s ribbon-style top end, so it can do scale, speed, and detail in a way cheaper towers usually can’t. In excellent condition, it’s the kind of buy that rewards a strong amp and a decent room, and if the finishes, grilles, spikes, and packaging are all present, the value is even better.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
