Monitor Audio's GX is a beautifully conceived congress of materials, technology, innovation and performance that captures the essence of our worldbeating Platinum flagship designs. In matching systems for music and home theatre, GX gives you the look, the quality and the performance of a timeless reference design.
The Monitor Audio GX quickens the pace of technological and aesthetic advance in speaker engineering, combining genuinely esoteric performance with luxury materials and construction to achieve a level of quality by which all others will be judged. Utilising the most precise CAD tools available and many, many hours of listening, we’ve optimised the operation of every driver, crossover and cabinet to deliver pure sound, as free as possible from mechanical distortions and cabinet resonances; as natural as the air that carries it.
The GX100 is a larger 2-way stand mount speaker featuring a 6.5” RST bass driver and C-CAM ribbon transducer. Operating with the performance of a typical 8” driver, our proprietary 6.5” design provides higher overall efficiency with dynamic headroom to deliver impressive bass extension and control. The GX100’s uncomplicated 2-way configuration renders complex material with tonal accuracy and perfect timing. It may occupy the space of a stand-mount speaker, but the GX100 sounds like a reference floor-stander. Optional, dedicated floor stands are available.
The amazing GX ribbon is derived from the globally acclaimed Platinum C-CAM® ribbon transducer. Its fabulously efficient wideband design operates at the velocity of the fastest natural sounds, reproducing the entire harmonic spectrum of every note at frequencies way beyond the audible threshold. The range of this extraordinary driver is such that you will experience the authentic tonal character of the highest sounds, as well as the inherent nature of the mid-band vocal region to which the ear is most sensitively tuned. The GX bass and mid-driver motors are designed by selecting large voice-coils, powerful magnet structures and rigid, vented die-cast alloy driver chassis to power their ultra-sophisticated ribbed RST® C-CAM cones, driver diaphragms, strengthened further with RST ribbing to create the greatest rigidity for the lowest mass.
Crossovers: hand pick and trial each component, listening to hundreds of permutations before finding perfection. The adjacent GX speaker terminals are gold plated to maintain signal integrity and contact reliability from the source to the crossovers. All GX speakers are wired internally with specialised Pureflow® Silver cable. Each GX enclosure is hand-built from multiple laminations of MDF. Its rigid and curved nature, aided by radial internal braces and bolt-through driver fixings, inhibits unwanted vibrations and internal standing waves to the extent that all you hear is the pure sound from the drivers.
