    Hi, I'm looking for a set of bookshelf speakers to go with my Marantz PM7200, I'll need high quality cable as well. My budget is 700-800 euro, could you give me an idea what my options are ?

    Hi Etc,

    I would start off looking at the Monitor Audio Silver 100 speakers which retail at 729 euro. These are a larger bookshelf speaker with an 8" bass/mid driver giving quite a low frequency bottom end for a bookshelf speaker at 40Hz. They are exceptionally well balanced with tight bass and very forward mid range. They are available in Black Oak, Walnut, Natural Oak, Satin White or Gloss black. I've demoed a lot of speakers and at that budget the Silver 100s are the best I've heard:

    For cables I would recommend the Atlas Hyper for these speakers. This cable is made from very low oxygen content copper and gives a great upgrade in the soundstage. It retails for 15.99 euro per meter. How many meters would you be looking for?

    Let me know what you think of these options.

    Kind regards

    David

    If you compare those prices with ANY other Monitor Audio Gold dealer across Europe you will see we are the cheapest by a country mile :D

    All available from stock, but I'm guessing that the popular finishes, Black & Ebony won't be around for lonATVB,

    Thanks Gents,

    The Gold 100's seem ideal, I'd need 6m of cable too, the Atlas Hyper would be perfect. Will I send a PM ?

    Hi John / Kenny,

    While I'm at it I'm also looking for a bluetooth dongle to connect to the amp, could you recommend something ?

    Thanks

    Hi Etc.

    If its the Gold 100 speakers, they have been sold via the website and there are no more of them available as they are end of line.
    (All the Clearance Gold speakers are listed on our .ie website and are being snapped up quickly due to their crazy pricing).

    Let me know your thoughts and if the Gold 50's might suit instead?

    If you look at post #5 John said he was going to put a bundle together and I agreed in post #6, but it didn't materialise.. Very disappointed TBH.

    Hi Etc,

    unfortunately we sold out of the Gold 100 via the web - at the moment we are completely out of stock and I understand that they are now a finished line - I have been on to MA already to see if they have ANY left - if we get any positive news I'll pop a post back up here before we release them online again.

    Best regards,

    Hi John, 

    I doubt that's going to happen, what can you do for me on the Silver 100's, cable, and dongle as per Kenny's recommendations above ?

    Hi Etc.

    I can offer the Silver 100 (Excluding Gloss Finish), dongle and the 3.5mm cable.

    Total would be £659 Delivered.
